Three Cuts Steakhouse has been officially shortlisted as part of the Gault & Millau UAE Selection for 2026, placing the restaurant among a carefully curated group of dining destinations recognised for quality and consistency across the Emirates.
The announcement forms part of the lead-up to the annual Gault & Millau UAE Gala, where the shortlisted venues and individuals will be celebrated as part of one of the region’s most respected culinary events. Inclusion in the Gault & Millau UAE Selection reflects a restaurant’s commitment to maintaining high standards across food, service, and overall dining experience.
The Gault & Millau UAE Selection is widely regarded as a benchmark for culinary excellence in the region. The guide evaluates restaurants anonymously, focusing on technique, flavour, consistency, and execution rather than popularity or trend-driven recognition.
Each year, a select number of restaurants are chosen to feature in the guide, representing a diverse cross-section of dining concepts from across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the wider Emirates. Being included in the selection highlights a restaurant’s ability to deliver a reliable and well-executed experience over time.
The 2026 edition of the Gault & Millau UAE Selection marks the fifth anniversary of the guide in the United Arab Emirates. To recognise this milestone, additional award categories have been introduced for the upcoming ceremony, including the Heritage Award, Bread and Cheese Selection of the Year, Sake Offering of the Year, and the Impact Award.
These additions reflect the guide’s growing focus on craftsmanship, cultural influence, and long-term contribution to the hospitality industry, further reinforcing its role as a trusted reference within the regional dining scene.
The shortlisted restaurants and individuals will be celebrated at the Gault & Millau UAE Gala, taking place on Monday, February 2, 2026, at Atlantis The Royal.
Following the awards segment of the evening, the scores and toque ratings for all selected restaurants will be revealed. Guests attending the private event will also receive the fifth edition of the Gault & Millau UAE guide, which features the full list of selected venues for the year ahead.
Inclusion in the Gault & Millau UAE Selection places Three Cuts Steakhouse alongside 205 restaurants chosen for the 2026 guide. The selection spans a wide range of cuisines and dining styles, reflecting the diversity and depth of the UAE’s culinary landscape.
For Three Cuts, the recognition reflects a continued focus on quality ingredients, balanced execution, and a dining experience that prioritises consistency and refinement. Located at Nakheel Mall on Palm Jumeirah, the restaurant has built a reputation for delivering dependable steakhouse dining in a relaxed yet polished setting.
Being shortlisted for the Gault & Millau UAE Selection represents an important moment for Three Cuts Steakhouse as it continues to grow within Dubai’s competitive dining scene. The recognition highlights the team’s ongoing commitment to maintaining standards that align with one of the world’s most respected restaurant guides.
As the industry looks ahead to the release of the 2026 ratings and toques, Three Cuts is proud to be included among the restaurants shaping the future of dining in the United Arab Emirates.
