Enigma is the Persian fine-dining restaurant at Palazzo Versace Dubai on Jaddaf Waterfront.

A calm, free contemporary-art institution on the Creek with galleries, a research library and a waterfront setting.
The best visit leaves room for the library, the gardens and a walk along the water.

Karam Al Bahr is the Lebanese seafood restaurant on the promenade level of InterContinental Dubai Festival City.

A lagoon-side address at Park Hyatt Dubai where the best plan is to let lunch take over the afternoon.

Every week, once. Dubai, edited down to what is worth your time.
An industrial district with Dubai's strongest concentration of independent galleries, creative businesses and culture-led detours.
Dubai's financial district doubles as one of its most concentrated destinations for ambitious restaurants, galleries and late cocktails.
Dubai's headline district is most rewarding when the Burj Khalifa becomes the backdrop rather than the entire plan.
Low-rise, coastal and more residential than the skyline suggests, Jumeirah rewards plans built around the beach, design and long meals.
Tables and bars where the room does half the work: low light, a good list and no rush to turn you over.
The Saturday institution, edited: the brunches worth the afternoon.
The home cooking of the Emirates, finally in restaurants: machboos, harees, luqaimat and the coffee that goes with them.
A subcontinent of kitchens, from Bur Dubai cafeterias to tasting menus: the best Indian food outside India is an argument Dubai can make.
From the hotel trattoria to the Amalfi terrace: pasta made in the room, wood-fired pizza and the long Italian lunch.
Omakase counters, neighbourhood izakaya and the ramen shops that stay open late.
Mezze done properly, charcoal grills and the long lunch that Beirut taught the Gulf.
