British elsewhere

  1. Doors slide open on their own as you approach, which sets the tone nicely for a fine dining room that takes itself seriously without apologizing for it. Heston Blumenthal's Dubai outpost runs the same menu as London, centuries of British cooking reimagined with very good ingredients. The Meat Fruit arrives looking like a mandarin. A pineapple spins on a spit in the open kitchen. It holds a Michelin star and a Forbes Five Star.

  3. Rank 2. The Spaniel

    Contemporary British

    A British brasserie on Bluewaters Island where the menu runs from Scotch egg to beef Wellington, with the odd Dubai flourish, like a Welsh rarebit finished with truffle, keeping things from getting too homesick-sincere. The upper floor has a proper bar counter and cocktails named after London postcodes. Sunday roast draws the kind of families who have decided, collectively, that this is their place now.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
