Michelin-recommended modern Greek in DIFC - whole fish, mezze and beautiful interiors.

Gaia is one of Dubai's most celebrated fine-dining destinations, a modern Greek restaurant in the heart of DIFC that has earned Michelin recognition for its masterful approach to Mediterranean cuisine. The dining room is strikingly beautiful - marble, warm lighting, and an open kitchen where whole fish and octopus emerge from the Josper grill alongside exceptional mezze. The wine list leans Mediterranean, service is polished, and the crowd is reliably glamorous. Booking well in advance is essential.
