MATTAR
Port Rashid, United Arab Emirates
This is a kitchen that refuses to choose. Texas-style barbecue meets the curated flavours of mandi: brisket smoked live over open flame, then finished with intention. Everything here is smoked. Find it on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Street in Port Rashid. Order the brisket mandi. The menu runs to Prime Brisket, pastrami, whole chicken, beef ribs, lamb leg, duck, beef chorizo, and mandi rice — all built on the same principle: smoke first, then layer in the spice that makes the cooking matter.
The Meat Co.
Dubai Marina, United Arab Emirates
Established in 1976, The Meat Co. operates as a premium steakhouse on Dubai Marina Walk, overlooking the yacht basin. The menu centres on Argentine cuts and grilled meat — Mayura Station Signature Wagyu and a Prime 1kg Tomahawk among them — executed with the kind of attention that justifies the price. It's a place built around the simple proposition that good beef, properly cooked, needs little else.
