Mutton achar handi at Ravi Restaurant

Lugaimat at Logma

Aussie Benedict at Tom & Serg

Carrot cake at Lime Tree Cafe

The battle for the best carrot cake in Dubai may rage on, but for us, the winner is clear. Indulge in hefty wedges of homestyle, double-layered carrot cake at Lime Tree Cafe – the perfect accompaniment to one of the best flat whites in town. Loaded with carrot shavings and crunchy walnuts, bowing beneath a fresh cream cheese frosting, you'll be forgiven for immediately ordering another serving.
Fish curry at Bu Qtair

What started as an unassuming seaside shack has fast become a Dubai institution. Turn up at Bu Qtair, located at the Umm Suqeim Fishing Harbour, and take a seat outdoors before diving into the catch of the day. There is no written menu, so make like those in the know and head to the counter to order fresh fish (or prawns) in a curry sauce. While the queues can get long, persevere as the service is fast, friendly and efficient.
