It has many nationalities, due to the expats living there, but is also visited by more than 18 million tourists as per 2024. Dubai simply wants to put itself as the culinary capital which evolve around luxury and innovation. I can tell when visiting some of the most fine dining places in Dubai. Luckily there are also options where you can pay a little bit less and still enjoy the flavourful international cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>~ Vegan burger <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the touristic places to visit while in Dubai is the Dubai Mall. It is one of the largest mall in the world and I don\u2019t want to spoil all about it in this section. The Dubai mall has different restaurants and it has different food courts across the mall. You will need to navigate your way using their \u201cinteractive mall directory\/kiosk\u201d. Vegan burger is located in the lower ground food court, more on the side of the \u201cBurj Khalifa fountain show\u201d, which is also worth to visit for their free evening show. The vegan burger offers plant based products and it has plenty of choices, such as Aloo Tikki burger (one of my favourite), Buddha burger and Truffle Cheeseburger. You could also take a menu which comes with fries and drink. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price:&nbsp;<strong>$$<\/strong><br>Suitable:&nbsp;<strong>Vegan<\/strong>&nbsp;(so vegetarian and halal suited)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7634-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7634-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7634-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7634-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7634-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7634-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>~ The Cheesecake factory <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2025, there are four cheesecake factories in Dubai. One is located in the Dubai mall near the large aquarium, another touristic sightseeing that you might want to visit. Obviously you can get cheesecake here, which you can choose from 30 plus flavours, such as red velvet, coconut cream, dulce de Leche caramel, mango keylime and so much more. Besides the desserts you could get lunch, brunch and dinner, either American, Italian, or western style in general. I personally found the dinner at the cheesecake factory at the Marina beach reasonable, but I was not blown away. However their cheesecake is like a feast in your mouth, be careful it is sweet and might be addictive. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price:&nbsp;<strong>$$<\/strong><br>Suitable:&nbsp;<strong>Vegetarian and halal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7646-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7646-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7646-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7646-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7646-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7646-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3751-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3751-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3751-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3751-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3751-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3751-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3891-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3891-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3891-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3891-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3891-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3891-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oreo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>~ Jamie Oliver <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think you all know who Jamie Oliver is. He is the British chef on the tv which prepares simple\/ easy meals. He also released numerous cook books and has its own franchise restaurants across different countries. In the Dubai mall there are currently, in 2025, two Jamie\u2019s in which one is located near the Burj Khalifa water fountain. At Jamie\u2019s they serve Italian food but not the traditional ones you are used to, rather it has a touch of Jamie\u2019s creativity in it. I liked the ravioli fritti, this is crispy ravioli that comes with some arrabbiata dip. You could expect, pizza, pasta, risotto, some other mains and desserts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price:&nbsp;<strong>$$<\/strong><br>Suitable:&nbsp;<strong>Vegetarian and halal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3909-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3909-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3909-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3909-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3909-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3909-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3911-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3911-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3911-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3911-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3911-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/vegetarianhalal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3911-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>~ Din Tai Fung <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Din Tai Fung is a known international concept and it has currently seven shops across Dubai, such as Dubai mall, Nakheel mall or Mall of the Emirates.

I won\u2019t be able to sum up all of their menu, cause it is a lot. This is something that you need to check your self.
