Mini-scandal in Dubai: the release of the guide Michelin caused controversy restaurateurs

The release of the fifth anniversary edition of The Michelin Guide Dubai has provoked lively controversy and discontent in the emirate's professional gastronomic community. Despite the inclusion of 122 restaurants on the final list and the promotion of Orfali Bros to two Michelin stars, a number of local chefs and restaurant critics expressed skepticism about the inspectors' objectivity.

On the sidelines of the industry, the unexpected distribution of awards in the Bib Gourmand category and the inclusion of new concepts that some professionals found overrated are discussed. Representatives of the guide insist on the absolute independence of anonymous inspections, stressing that the emirate has become one of the most competitive and dynamic culinary centers in the world.

Nevertheless, the controversy surrounding the transparency of judging has stoked interest in the city's premium institutions. Restaurateurs expect a record influx of guests to the locations marked by the guide.
