Row on 45 was created by famous chef Jason Atherton, and is often regarded as one of the best Michelin star restaurants in Dubai. The restaurant is decorated to look like a high-end apartment and can only accommodate 22 people. Within its first year of business, Row on 45 was given two Michelin stars. There are three parts to the evening. Appetisers are served in the lounge first, and then the main dining room with a state-of-the-art show kitchen follows. The 17-part haute cuisine meal shows Atherton's love of cooking and products from around the world, and each course comes with a chef's commentary.

One of the most popular Michelin-star restaurants in Dubai, Avatara is the revival of soulful Indian food. It is a private, carefully planned vegetarian degustation event. Passion F&B is in charge of Avatara. They are the chefs who brought you The World's 50 Best and Trèsind Studio. At Avatara, they focus on using locally grown, fresh products and presenting them with style. The restaurant used to be in the small space that Trèsind Studio used to occupy at the Voco Hotel. It has since moved to a bigger, purpose-built room in Business Park 1 in Dubai Hills. There are only 30 seats available each night, so the atmosphere is cosy. The 16-course meal comes with a note about each dish's ingredients and where they came from, along with a personal story from the cook.
