Middle Child

Middle Child is a restaurant in Dubai (Al Quoz), $$; open Tue–Thu 12:30–22:30; Fri–Sat 12:30–23:00; Sun 12:30–22:30; closed Mon.

A minimalist, chef-led concept built around "good food, great books, and hard-to-find groceries." Led by Chef Lynn Hazim, Middle Child is a boutique eatery that feels like a private library for foodies. The menu is intentionally concise, focusing on "elevated comfort" dishes like their viral Sour Cream & Onion dip with Ritz crackers and a masterfully executed Club Sandwich. The venue functions as a hybrid between a bistro, a cookbook shop (with 500+ titles), and a gourmet grocer. With only an eight-seat communal counter, it prioritizes intimate conversation and intentional dining.
