Hot on the tails of Beefbar, another Monaco export has opened in Jumeriah Al Naseem’s stylish Turtle Lagoon. Injecting some fun into Dubai’s thriving dining-cum-nightlife scene, MayaBay offers traditional Asian cuisine with a contemporary twist. The interiors are dressed in deep, evocative colours and the menu features dishes like caviar dim sum, wok-fried lobster and MayaBay beef tartare – all overseen by head Shane Macneill. Unlike many Pan-Asian restaurants, there’s also a fantastic vegetarian and vegan menu.
