Dubai has quietly become one of the world’s great steak cities. From clubby DIFC dining rooms to fire-lit terraces on the Palm, the city’s steakhouse scene spans classic American-style grills, Brazilian churrasco, Turkish-inspired butcheries, and French bistro simplicity. Whether you’re after a four-figure Wagyu experience or a proper cut without the eye-watering bill, here’s where to eat well in Dubai this year.
