THE BEST RESTAURANT IN KUWAIT
The anime-inspired Japanese eatery White Robata in Kuwait City is named as the winner of the best restaurant in Kuwait as first-ever list of Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants is revealed for 2022
The culinary stars of the restaurant world converged in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi on 7th February for the the debut of the Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants awards. Restaurants from across 11 countries within Middle East and North Africa were announced as the top 50 places to eat in the region at an event held in Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers. Hosted in partnership with Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, the event culminated in the announcement of the region’s first ever No.1 restaurant, 3 Fils, a casual contemporary restaurant located in Dubai’s historic Jumeirah Fishing Harbour, founded in 2016 by two Emiratis and a Singaporean.
Kuwait City’s White Robate is ranked No. 43 on the list and wins the title of The Best Restaurant in Kuwait. Located within the Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Center in Kuwait, White Robata is a Japanese concept where chefs create innovative dishes in an open kitchen allowing diners to watch as skilled chefs create inventive signatures. The anime-inspired Japanese eatery specialises in dishes cooked over fire including a six-hour braised short rib finished on the grill and offers a contemporary take on traditional Japanese cuisine including the playful spicy tuna wanton taco and the flank steak frites aburi nigiri with purple potato floss.
The Japanese izakaya Zuma in DIFC, Dubai, founded by chef Rainer Becker, claims the No.2 spot, followed by Raz Rahav’s OCD Restaurant in Tel Aviv (No.3).
The list is compiled by the Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy, an influential group of 250 key leaders in the restaurant industry across the region, each selected for their expert opinion of Middle East and North Africa’s restaurant scenes.
