After two weeks of online polling from 3,485 voters, 10\u00a0city-wide restaurants have been crowned top Dubai Hidden Gems, the winners’ list can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dubai Hidden Gems was created in order to raise awareness of the hidden and smaller delicious finds\u00a0found across Dubai. After a\u00a0shortlist of 50 was selected by top food influencers, like Muna Al Shamsi and Talal Al Rashed, voters\u00a0in Dubai were given the chance to pick the top ten outlets.<\/p>\n

RoundMenu and Zomato’s ratings of these restaurants helped compile the best Emirati restaurants in Dubai.\u00a0With the huge array of international restaurants in Dubai, sometimes the best local\u00a0food gets lost in the mix, however; this list has helped\u00a0these amazing Emirati restaurants to shine.<\/p>\n

In light and part of the\u00a0Dubai Food Festival coming up soon, here’s top ten Emirati restaurants you should check out:<\/p>\n

1. Local Bites Cafe<\/h3>\n
