Reif Othman'sTERO is hosting a dessert takeover for Mohamed Al Matin
If you love dessert, then this tasting menu experience will be one for you.
TERO, that intimate tasting menu experience by chef Reif Othman, is about to host a two-night-only event, on Saturday June 21 and Sunday June 22, that promises to flip your understanding of fine-dining on its head.
Get ready to embrace the unexpected as acclaimed Singaporean chef Mohamed Al Matin steps into the spotlight for an exclusive, dessert-forward 11-course takeover.
Now, if the name Matin sounds familiar, it's because he's no stranger to the world's most prestigious kitchens either, with stints as pastry sous chef at the Noma in Copenhagen. This chef knows his way around a kitchen, and he's bringing his genre-bending artistry to Dubai for the very first time.
Kombu Tart.

Chef Matin is famous for his audacious approach to bridging the gap between sweet and savoury. Forget your traditional dessert course; he's here to mess with your mind in the best possible way. Imagine a delicate kombu tart mingling with fresh and grilled sugar snap peas, then paired with a pea husk sorbet.
Or how about grilled Jerusalem artichokes glazed in salted koji caramel, served alongside an umami kombu ice cream? 'I want to break the conventional thinking of what desserts are meant to be,' says Matin.
This dining experience, priced at Dhs468 per person, offers two seating times (7pm and 8pm) for each night. You can elevate the experience with optional grape pairings for an added Dhs388 or a tea pairing for an extra Dhs188.
Seats are, predictably, limited. So, if you'd best be quick at booking those seats.
From Dhs468. Sat Jun 21-Sun Jun 22. Dubai Hills (04 255 5142).

World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025: Odette at the National Gallery Singapore ranks 25th globally
We got a little taste of the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list earlier this month, when the extended 51–100 rankings were released, and yes, local favourites made the cut. Burnt Ends, known for its modern Australian barbecue, and contemporary Singaporean restaurant Labyrinth secured spots 93 and 97 respectively. Now, the full list is out – and Odette has once again earned its place among the world's culinary elite. The elegant French restaurant, tucked within the National Gallery Singapore, comes in at number 25 this year. No stranger to the top 50, Odette has consistently appeared on the list since 2018, though it slips slightly from last year's 24th place. Helmed by chef Julien Royer, Odette is named after his grandmother, whose influence can be seen in his personal approach to French cuisine. While rooted in classic techniques, the menu carries subtle Asian flair, a nod to Chef Julien's time in the region. The restaurant's muted, light-toned interiors exude a sense of calm and quiet luxury, while the extensive wine list and impeccable service complete the dining experience. Here are the top 10 restaurants in the world in 2025: Maido (Lima) Asador Etxebaarri (Atxondo) Quintonil (Mexico City) Diverxo (Madrid) Alchemist (Copenhagen) Gaggan (Bangkok) Sézanne (Tokyo) Table by Bruno Verjus (Paris) Kjolle (Lima) Don Junio (Buenos Aires) View the full list here.

Two London restaurants have been named in the 50 best in the world
Every year, the prestigious World's 50 Best holds a ceremony to crown the 50 very best restaurants on the planet. Earlier this month the extended list (from 51 to 100) was revealed, and two London restos featured. Now the top 50 has been unveiled at an awards ceremony in Turin. Now in its 23rd year, the 2025 list comprises eateries from 32 cities and 22 countries, with 10 new entries and four re-entries. In the ranking, two London restaurants were crowned as one of the world's 50 best in 2025. High-end Mexican restaurant Kol came in 49th place. The Michelin-starred spot in Marylebone is known for its impeccable presentation, and for making Mexican dishes with British ingredients. Helmed by ex-Noma and Noma Mexico chef Santiago Lastra, some of Kol's best-renowned dishes include a langoustine taco, and a whole grilled octopus with bone marrow. The other London restaurant to make the list was Ikoyi, coming in 15th place. According to the World's 50 Best, co-founders Jeremy Chan and Iré Hassan-Odukale have 'created a culinary style that defies categorisation'. The swish joint on the Strand blends West African and Asian spices with British vegetables, meat and fish to create a unique blind tasting menu. Stand out dishes include a refined take on jollof rice and the plantain dish, which has taken on different iterations over the years. When Time Out visited Ikoyi when it opened in 2017, we called it 'a thrilling anomaly even in London's diverse food scene'. Check out the full list on the World's 50 Best website here.
