Are you new here? I've never met anyone that thought that. Dubai is ridiculously expensive to eat out. Even the 40% platinum discount in some places only serves to bring it down towards higher end UK prices. Unless you're eating at KFC or Eat and Drink, a normal meal with some wine will set you back 500dhs for two. Not to mention about 6 poorly paid and trained staff fussing over refilling your overpriced water every time you take a sip. A fillet steak alone in The Meat Company is 500Dhs! Food is poor quality, not fresh and lacking in taste in most places anyway so it's not even worth the high price. Not to mention groceries and why most of us fill up our suitcase on layovers - complete rip off in Dubai!
