About Cutfish
At $80 per person, Cutfish is a Contemporary Japanese Bistro in Dubai for diners who want Japanese cooking in a smart-casual setting. The essentials are direct: daily hours run from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM, the dress code is smart casual, the restaurant is recognized as a Gault & Millau UAE Selected Restaurant for 2026.
The clearest way to approach the meal is through the confirmed signatures. Signature dishes include Miso Black Cod, sashimi, signature rolls, hand rolls, so those are the safest anchors when planning an order. Beyond those confirmed highlights, it is better to treat the experience broadly as contemporary Japanese bistro dining rather than assume a specific menu format or service style.
Use the daily hours to plan the right occasion
Cutfish is open daily from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM, which makes it flexible for daytime or evening plans in Dubai.
For an evening meal, Cutfish makes sense when the brief is Japanese bistro dining without formal dress. The smart-casual dress code keeps the tone put together but not overly ceremonial.
For daytime dining, the same guidance applies: use the noon opening as a practical planning point, but do not assume a dedicated lunch deal or separate daytime format from the information alone. The dependable facts are the cuisine, price point, hours, dress code, signature dishes, Gault & Millau UAE Selected Restaurant recognition.
Order around the signatures
The strongest confirmed order starts with the dishes Cutfish is known for: sashimi, hand rolls, signature rolls, Miso Black Cod. Those choices fit the restaurant’s Contemporary Japanese Bistro identity and give the table a clear sense of its confirmed strengths without relying on claims about sourcing, counter service, or a tasting structure.
Miso Black Cod is the obvious richer anchor among the listed dishes. Sashimi, signature rolls, hand rolls can then shape the lighter side of the meal. For larger groups, confirm the current menu directly with the restaurant if you need specific cooked dishes, dietary accommodations, or sharing portions, because those details are not part of the data here.
The $80-per-person price point places Cutfish in a considered dining bracket rather than a casual quick bite. The value case is strongest for diners who specifically want contemporary Japanese bistro cooking in Dubai, with recognizable signature dishes and a smart-casual atmosphere.
Who should book it, who should skip it
Book Cutfish if you want a Contemporary Japanese Bistro in Dubai with a clear $80-per-person reference point, daily 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM hours, smart-casual dress, signatures such as Miso Black Cod, sashimi, signature rolls, hand rolls.
