How much does dining at the top Michelin Asian venues cost?

AED 500–1,500+pp at the fine-dining tier. Most Michelin-starred tasting menus run AED 800–1,500pp; Bib Gourmand venues sit at AED 150–250pp.

How far ahead should I book Michelin Asian venues in Dubai?

Book 3–6 weeks ahead for prime weekend slots — Michelin and tasting-counter venues sell out fastest. Weekday dinners often have 1–2 week availability.
