Shanghai Me

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Despite its name, Shanghai Me’s menu actually sweeps the Asian continent, picking up traditional dishes, recipes and ingredients along the way from bamboo baskets of plump Cantonese dumplings to a whole section consisting entirely of sushi and sashimi. With a clandestine dining room, prohibition-era privacy and Art Deco-inspired design, it’s become one of Dubai’s best-loved date spots where couples new and old bask in the rosy glow of the restaurant and sip zodiac-themed cocktails on the banana tree-fringed terrace. The freshly-prepared dishes are best shared, so that you can try a bit of everything – a bite of wok-fried seabass with chilli bean sauce here, a nibble on a roast duck and truffle mini bao there – as is the indulgent giant fortune cookie dessert, coated in hazelnut-studded chocolate and filled with matcha mousse.
