29. Edible Gold Dishes
As if there wasn’t enough gold already, in Dubai bling isn’t just for your finger—it’s for your fork! That’s right, the city that never skimps on luxury takes gastronomy to a glittering new level by offering foods wrapped in edible gold. From gold-dusted burgers and blinged-out ice creams to cappuccinos that gleam like a pirate’s treasure, you can munch on metals all you want. But don’t get any ideas about chowing down on your gold jewelry—only culinary-grade gold, which ranges between 22 to 24 karats, is fit for consumption. So, are you feeling peckish for something precious?
If you’re a foodie with a taste for the shiny and spectacular, then you can’t miss the “Go for Gold” package at Trophy Room, a sports bar tucked away in Dubai’s Fairmont hotel. This epicurean experience serves you classic pub grub but with a golden twist: think 24-karat gold-dusted chicken nuggets accompanied by golden fries. So if you want to eat like a king or queen, you know where to go!
