Two Dubai restaurants, European restaurant FZN by Bjorn Frantzen and homegrown eatery Tresind Studio, retained their 'extraordinary' three Michelin stars in the fifth edition of the Michelin Guide Dubai, unveiled in a glittering ceremony held at Atlantis, The Royal.

Last year, Tresind Studio became the first and only Indian restaurant in the world to have three Michelin stars.

Meanwhile, another homegrown eatery, Orfali Bros was presented with two Michelin stars. The restaurant, which started off its Michelin journey being recognised as a Bib Gourmand, was recognised for "cooking that celebrates its roots" and for their "growing refinement".

Speaking at the event, Mohammed Orfali dedicated the win to young Arab chefs. "What a moment it is for us," he said, on stage with his brothers Wassim and Omar to collect the coveted two-Michelin starred jacket, adding that the win was an example of Dubai-it.

Three stars is the highest recognition awarded by the Michelin Guide and there are approximately only 140 restaurants across the world which has this distinction.
