When it comes to dining, Bahrain’s abundant options never fail to impress. Catering to different tastes and varying in ambience, cuisines, and culinary talents, restaurants on the island add to the reasons that make Bahrain a must-visit!

Three Bahrain-based restaurants recently proved this right by forging their way to MENA’s best dining destinations! The list includes Fusions by Tala, CUT By Wolfgang Puck, and

Masso.

The second edition of Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants in Abu Dhabi was attended by big names from the culinary community in the region on 30 January. While Dubai’s Orfali Bros Bistro and Restaurant sat right at the top of the list, we were proud to see some of Bahrain’s favourite restaurants make their mark on the entire region!
