5 Joints To Please Your Inner Caveman

Slow-cooked, smoked, barbequed, and pulled, sandwiched in a bun or served on the bone, meat really is our most favorite thing to eat, well, ever. If your carnivorous love is as strong as ours, then you're going to love this list of some of the best places to score a delicious hunk of steak in Dubai. Vegetarians, beware!



Spirito
Capricha para mim! Spirito is all about the sizzling flavors of Brazil ,and in case you didn't know, this is serious foodie territory for carnivores. The cuisine is Head Chef's Nilton Rodigo Ceccarelli reinterpretation of Brazil's street food culture, with the menu containing a range of favela inspired dishes and some great meat options that are traditional to South America. Think Pastel De Carne; light and thin pastry filled with spicy braised beef, smashed avocado, Coxinha; smoked chicken croquettes with Romesco Sauce, and Churrasquinho; boneless lamb rib skewers, fennel, apple and peanut slaw.

The vibe at Spirito is relaxed and fun, the decor is a mishmash of the vibrant colors of Brazil and the atmosphere has a pinch of carnivale craziness to it on a good night. To make it even more Brazilian, the beverage list is stocked with some fresh juices that can be drunk as they are of mixed with some Silver Cachaca or Havana Club spirits to create variations of the country’s famous Caipirinha cocktail. The experience is accompanied by a mix of Latin, Jazz, House, Bossa Nova, Samba and Reggae tunes.

J&G Steakhouse
Chef de Cuisine Daniel Ferreira' menu does an excellent job of creating a delicious fine-dining experience at J&G Steakhouse, but where it really shines is in its sublime meat options; this is the place to go for classic steakhouse dishes that have just the right dose of modern culinary flair. The steak is succulent, the setting contemporary and the service 5 stars. This place even has cows specifically bred for it to make sure they deliver on quality - how many other restaurants in Dubai can say that they have their own cattle?

The menu features a range of gastronomic cuts of meat, including USDA Prime, Wagyu, Australian Black Onyx and Welsh Grassfed, served with a range of delicious sauces and accompaniments. Besides featuring up some of the best steaks in Dubai, you’ll also be able to find a range of contemporary seafood options, including a delicious Sichuan peppercorn crusted Tuna steak and a Canadian Lobster option.

Brasserie Quartier
Meat doesn't always need to be a 500gram slab of beef to be good, as Brasserie Quartier clearly demonstrates. This edgy eatery serves up haute cuisine that combines inspiration from across France, the Mediterranean and the United Kingdom for some seriously elegant and sophisticated eating! The Steak Tartare is one of the best we've had in a long time, and the Côte de Boeuf is a dreamy, flavor-dense perfection of everything a steak should be.

Lavish and sophisticated, the restaurant’s interior design is done in an elegant regency style. Fresh flowers, shades of soft pastel, emerald velvet tufted banquettes set amidst dainty chairs and tables and a mosaic marble floor aptly evokes a scene out of a period film set in a European aristocratic residence.

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
A distinctly New Orleans feeling blends across both the venue and the menu at this steakhouse, giving Dubai a taste of America's deep South. 50 years of making steaks has propelled this eatery to international fame, and it's globally renowned for consistently good meat. The menu is a mix of signature USDA prime steaks and Southern flavored regional seafood specialty dishes, all created with a healthy dose of home-cooked flavor.

Done up in typical American fashion, this eatery is all about white table clothes, maroon leather booths and staff dressed up in black waistcoats and red ties. Touches of elegance come through in the chandelier and discreet but attentive service of the staff.
