Following in the illustrious footsteps of the original Hakkasan in London – the first Chinese restaurant in Europe to be awarded a Michelin star – Hakkasan Dubai is known for serving modern Chinese cuisine at its very best. Jasmine tea-smoked dim sum and Chinese honey and Sanpei claypot chicken are just a few of the dishes that have wowed diners since the restaurant opened in November 2011.

The venue is everything a modern Chinese restaurant should be: classy and on trend, without losing the feeling of olden-days China by virtue of intricate wooden panels that separate the large dining space. It can’t be long until the Michelin guide comes knocking with one of its coveted stars for this place.

Out on the terrace, you can enjoy lovely Arabian Sea views, while the lounge offers a livelier atmoshere, where you can enjoy DJ-spun tunes well into the night.
