Moonrise
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Since its debut in late 2021, Moonrise has captivated food enthusiasts by offering an exquisite dining experience for just eight guests at a time. Helmed by the talented chef Solemann Haddad, this culinary gem reflects the vibrant stories of Dubai through its meticulously crafted dishes. At just 26 years old, Haddad has quickly gained recognition as one of the city’s leading chefs amid a culinary landscape dominated by global titans. The restaurant serves an omakase-style menu, providing diners with a front-row view of the artistry involved in creating dishes that marry Japanese techniques with Middle Eastern ingredients. Diners can savor cured slices of hamachi adorned with a vibrant Syrian sumac sauce and preserved lemon. Another standout dish, the khoory kabab, highlights A5 wagyu beef sourced from Jordan, complemented by celeriac, beef jus, and a delicate shiso bouquet. Moonrise emphasizes local sourcing from the Middle East while occasionally importing specialized ingredients when essential. Its location is as breathtaking as its offerings, perched atop a residential building that showcases the stunning Dubai skyline. Reservations are highly recommended, often requiring at least two months in advance.
