Maiden Shanghai — FIVE Palm Jumeirah
Cues
The Peking duck requires 48 hours advance notice and serves 4-6 people — worth organizing for special occasions. Valet parking fills up quickly after 9pm, so self-park in the hotel garage if arriving late.

The dim sum at lunch is the best value way to experience it — genuinely good and significantly cheaper than the evening menu. The venue transitions into a party atmosphere after 10pm so leave if you want dinner not a club.

Description
Maiden Shanghai nails the high-end Shanghainese thing with hand-pulled noodles and whole fish preparations that justify the five-star setting, plus the kitchen actually respects traditional techniques instead of oversimplifying for tourists. Book the private dining room if you're doing business—the views of the marina from Palm Jumeirah beat anywhere else in Dubai for that kind of dinner.
