Sumosan
Inside the recently opened Billionaire Mansion is a Japanese restaurant that’s causing quite the stir thanks to its velvety sashimi and tuna rolls in white truffle sauce. The Dubai outlet, which originally opened in Moscow in 1997, is currently being overseen by Janina Wolkow (the daughter of the founder of Sumosan), so no detail is left unturned.

Ting Irie
Who knew in the heart of downtown Dubai there could be a little slice of Jamaica? This recently opened eatery serves up memorable Caribbean cuisine, including delicious jerk and fried chicken dishes. Other noteworthy items include the lamb chops served with a mango chutney and coconut water which, true to its name, comes in a fresh coconut.
