7 best roast dinners in Dubai
What’s the most important element of a roast? Everyone will tell you something different. Nice thick gravy? Veg cooked to a carbonised char? A home-made mint sauce (only to accompany lamb)? Yorkshire puddings with everything? As you can see, producing an A-list roast means a lot of elements have to come together perfectly. And it’s much easier to go out and let someone else worry about it than it is to make one yourself. Here are six of the best in the region.
THE PARTY ROAST
Girders
The English pub with a Gaelic twist has a very generous happy hour from 4pm-8pm every night of the week, which is sure to make any roast taste better. In terms of food, you may have more gastronomic experimentation elsewhere, but for a solid, no-frills roast (the meat is smoked, not roasted but who’s counting?) to fuel late-afternoon partying this is the place. For the Scottish contingent, the chef whips up a mouthwateringly tasty haggis dish – as mouthwatering as a dish made primarily of sheeps’ innards can be, anyway.

THE APPETITE BUSTER
Rivington Grill
Yorkshire puddings are something of a theme across all of these roasts – originally, they were used as a kind of pre-meal sponge, for hard-up Brits to fill up on something cheap before the main meal, then traditionally served with roast beef. But these days they’re as important to any roast as the gravy or meat. The Rivington’s Yorkshires are absolutely huge and should be appreciated for their taste over all. The surrounding rib of beef, Dover sole or corn-fed chicken aren’t bad either.

MEAT LOVERS’ DREAM
Gaucho
The famous Argentinian steak emporium has a new Saturday roast concept, available each week between noon and, very generously, 11pm. Choose between the revered rib-eye steak or whole roasted chimichurri chicken, served with all the trimmings. A word of warning for gravy enthusiasts, though: the meal comes served on a wooden board with a shallow moat around the edge, meaning overspill is not just likely, it’s a certainty.

BACK TO BLIGHTY
Reform Social & Grill
Executive chef at Reform, Ryan Waddell, is an expert in curating a menu that evokes a Britain of country walks, hearty meals and perfectly paired drinks. On Saturday and Sunday, the full-plated roasts are just what you need to remember what a real roast is all about. Properly massive Yorkshire puddings, topside of beef and, best of all, a huge selection of classic desserts are the closest thing Dubai has to an English country pub.
