Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Dubai is less about finding the longest list and more about matching the room to the plan. This Plate Snob edit brings together 29 restaurants in Dubai, using cooking, spend, setting and practical detail to separate a useful booking from a merely famous address. The selection stretches from french mediterranean, mediterranean, greek and aegean, with particularly useful options around DIFC, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Palm Jumeirah. We favour restaurants with a clear reason to go, reliable location information and enough context to choose confidently. Start with the highlighted picks for the strongest all-round answers, then use the full list and map to compare atmosphere, price and convenience. Availability, menus and opening times can move quickly in the UAE, so confirm the final details with the venue before travelling.
