Sometimes the stuff we find on our dinner plate is just so beautiful that we don’t want to eat it. 

It’s another story that we eventually lick the plate clean (okay we’re just exaggerating) but before we get to that…there’s the bit where we take a zillion photos, admire the edible art on our plate and talk about how talented the chef is.

So here are those kind of dishes:

1. Toasted almond panna cotta at Jean-Georges, Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach
