What to Eat at Vermilion Dubai How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Vermilion Dubai, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Ask about booking. Reservations reportedly had no minimum spend, so confirm the booking terms and pay for what you order.
Try sushi. Consider the sushi menu if you want a specific recommendation from a diner rather than choosing at random.
Order dessert. Leave room for the signature Vermilion dessert, described as a rose and praised for both looks and flavour.
Check themed nights. Look for the Arabic Night or Thursday Latin Nights if a themed performance is part of your plan.
Consider vegan needs. Tell the team about vegan requirements in advance; one vegan guest reported unusually attentive accommodation.

The Bottom Line
Vermilion Dubai is a Jumeirah dinner-theatre restaurant where the show is central to the evening, not background music. You can settle in for a meal while singers, dancers, acrobats and other performers move through a polished cabaret-style production. The combination suits birthdays, date nights and group evenings when you want dinner to feel like an event.
The food gets equally specific praise. Truffle pasta was called rich and perfectly cooked; steak, carpaccio, lamb and foie gras makis, fresh seafood and Italian rosé also appear in reviews. Dishes are repeatedly noted for careful presentation, while cocktails receive praise for being well made and visually striking.
One vegan diner said the team went above and beyond to accommodate them. Service is a consistent strength: reviewers describe staff as attentive, friendly, polite and quick with orders. The setting leans elegant and theatrical, with red velvet, moving lights and lively music.
Before booking, confirm the current reservation terms; one review specifically noted no minimum spend and payment based on what was ordered. If themed entertainment matters, check the schedule for Arabic Night or Thursday Latin Nights.
