All 20 Michelin-Starred Restaurants in Dubai: 2026 Guide

Looking for the complete starred list in one place? The 2026 Michelin Guide Dubai selection ↗, announced in October, names 20 restaurants: two at three stars, four at two, and fourteen at one. Here they are by distinction, with links to my own writing where I have visited. This is Michelin’s awards list, not a claim that I have eaten at every restaurant below.

Orfali Bros moved to two stars in this edition. Birch and KIGO entered with one star. If you are choosing a table rather than simply tracking the awards, my Dubai dining guide by occasion explains which of my recent meals I would actually book.

Before you book: This list records the October 2026 awards and was checked on November 12, 2026. A star is not a live opening-hours or reservation-status check. Confirm that the restaurant is operating, and check its current menu and prices directly. My linked reviews reflect their original visit dates; some full Substack stories may require a paid subscription. Bib Gourmand and Michelin Selected restaurants have different distinctions and are not included in this star list.
