Dubai's Miyako restaurant reopens following refurb

Miyako, the Japanese restaurant at Hyatt Regency Dubai, has been completely remodelled and reopened as a new restaurant.

Miyako, which means ‘the capital’ in Japanese, was one of the first restaurants in Dubai to serve Japanese cuisine when it opened in 1987.

Following the refurb, the restaurant has a full open kitchen with its lively, complete with a teppanyaki station and set menus.

Miyako serves classic Japanese cuisine along with a few contemporary offerings as well.

Miyako’s remodeled interiors are inspired by traditional Japanese elements like paper parasols, rustic cobble stone streets, tatami weaves and shou-sogi-ban, the Japanese method of preserving timber by charring it.

The restaurant is divided into three different and authentic dining experiences – a private, live teppanyaki room, the main dining area with a sushi bar and an intimate tatami room.
