Hōseki Dubai

Hōseki sits at the end of Jumeirah Bay Island, a short walk from the Bulgari Marina & Yacht Club. The restaurant serves Japanese and sushi-focused cuisine in a room that runs smart and elegant. It currently holds a Michelin star and is ranked no. 20 on La Liste.

Hōseki ignores the frantic energy found in the restaurants at nearby La Mer or City Walk. By limiting the room to a handful of seats, the kitchen forces a focus on precision that the larger, louder dining halls in the city centre often trade for scale. You choose this for the quiet intensity of the meal rather than the broad, social atmosphere common to the district. The experience is more formal than its neighbours, but that austerity is the price of a menu that places technical restraint above the usual Dubai flair for volume.
