His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai are avid food lovers. They are always seen supporting the restaurants scene in the UAE.

While the Royal Family may well have kitchens filled with more chefs than a Michelin-starred restaurant, eating out can offer – just as it can for most of us – a thrilling change from the routine.

From neighbourhood bistros to fine-dining havens in Dubai by Chef Izu, such as Alaya. The options for dining are endless and now some are even approved by the Royals.

With a plethora of restaurants available in Dubai, it can be hard to choose where to go, however, the Royals know exactly where to visit. If you’re looking for somewhere to dine at then, these restaurants are a must-visit.

Over the years, Sheikh Mohammed has visited a myriad of restaurants such as CÉ LA VI, Shanghai ME, Gaia, Zuma and more.
