Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant
مطعم الخيمة التراثي
A Michelin Bib Gourmand Emirati restaurant set in a courtyard within the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, described by Michelin as half-restaurant, half-museum.
Located in an old house in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, this restaurant is described by Michelin as "half-restaurant, half-museum." The dining area is an air-conditioned, covered courtyard where bread is freshly baked in front of guests, accompanied by live music. Michelin suggests starting with salads and bread, then sharing a lamb machboos, and finishing with luqaimat or date pudding. The menu also features traditional dishes like harees and saloona, with balaleet available for breakfast. It retains its Bib Gourmand status in the 2026 Michelin Guide. Reservations can be made via OpenTable. Expect to pay around AED 250 for two. Located in the old town, it can easily be combined with a tour of the Al Fahidi district.
