Our verdict
STAY sits at number 1 because it combines precise modern French cooking with the secluded atmosphere of One&Only The Palm.

- Location
- Crescent Road (West)
BEST OF editorial
It is the strongest choice when the meal itself, not a party scene or landmark view, is the reason for travelling. Unlike the skyline views at SUSHISAMBA or the social energy of La Mar, this room focuses entirely on the plate and the service. The setting is refined and intimate, making it a fit for milestone occasions rather than casual dinners. The pacing is designed to be unhurried, so the longer tasting menu suits groups where everyone wants the full experience. If you prefer a faster pace or a louder room, look elsewhere on this list.

Unlike the skyline views at SUSHISAMBA or the Peruvian focus of La Mar, this room prioritizes a theatrical, chef-led progression. It sits inside Atlantis, The Palm, offering an intimate setting distinct from the louder, social atmosphere of the other picks on this list. Choose this for a serious food trip where the meal is the main event. The limited number of seats means the pace is slow and the focus is total. Treat the reservation as the entire night. Arrive early, avoid scheduling anything afterwards, and confirm dietary requirements well in advance.

BEST OF editorial
The restaurant holds the number 11 spot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list. It sits at The St. Regis Gardens, offering a quieter, more intimate setting than the social atmosphere at SUSHISAMBA. The menu is a tightly choreographed tasting journey that uses locally sourced ingredients. Dishes like the one with lactofermented blueberries, kokum, tea, and sake show the kitchen’s technical precision. This approach differs from the boundary-pushing style at FZN by Björn Frantzén, focusing instead on deep Indian flavours in a contemporary format.
This place suits diners who want Indian cuisine expressed through a fine-dining lens. It is not for casual meals or large groups, as parties over five must call to book. The experience is immersive and precise, with butlers serving the food. You should know that the menu is carefully sequenced, so sharing allergies in advance helps the kitchen plan adaptations. The atmosphere is exclusive, designed for those who value culinary theatre and detailed plating over a relaxed, open dining room.

Estiatorio Milos earns its place for a specific kind of high-end: the view.
- Couples wanting a dramatic fountain view with Greek seafood
- Price
- Premium
- Location
- - Crescent Rd
BEST OF editorial
It sits in a standalone building at Atlantis The Royal, with tables positioned to watch the Skyblaze fountain. This is a different kind of spectacle than the skyline views at SUSHISAMBA or the quiet dining rooms of Hakkasan. Chef Costas Spiliadis, who opened the original restaurant in Montreal in 1979, anchors the menu in Hellenic simplicity. The space is stark white with a double height ceiling, but the energy comes from the open kitchen and the tanks of live lobsters in the dining area. The menu leans heavily on seafood, using ingredients like Greek wild oysters and olive oil from ancient Koroneiki trees.
It is a bright, Mediterranean room that feels less formal than the other fine dining picks here, yet still delivers a premium experience without a heavy tasting menu structure. This is the choice for couples who want a dramatic backdrop for a dinner of pristine fish. The terrace offers front-row seats to the water and fire show, making it a strong option for special occasions. One thing to know before you order: the salt crust sea bass is priced at market price per kg. What’s On Dubai’s reviewer found the fish a little dry, so the lighter dishes may be safer bets. The room is busy and bright, not a quiet corner for a long, low-key conversation. If you want to understand the portion and price of the fresh catch, ask the team to explain the fish display before you decide.

The practical things that change the visit.
BEST OF takeChoosing the right room
Pick STAY by Yannick Alléno if the food is the main reason for your visit. Choose FZN by Björn Frantzén for an intimate, chef-led experience with limited seats. For a louder, social night with views, go to SUSHISAMBA Dubai or Nobu Dubai. If you want Greek seafood without a heavy menu, Estiatorio Milos is the clear choice. Always check the dress code and dietary requirements before you book.
Check before you bookThree details that can change the booking
The most celebrated Palm restaurants often use long tasting menus, age policies and strict reservation terms.
- How long is the experience?Tasting menu · À la carte · PairingSome meals can occupy most of the evening and should not be rushed.
- Is there an age policy?Early seating · Evening rules · Family accessSeveral fine-dining venues change their child policy later at night.
- Which hotel entrance?Valet · Tower · Resort wingAllow extra travel time because Palm traffic and resort arrivals can be slow.
Booking checksConfirm the details that matter
Many Palm restaurants are destination experiences with stricter policies than everyday neighbourhood dining.
- The meal may take most of the evening. Long tasting menus need enough time for the full sequence and should not be squeezed between other plans.
- Age and dress rules vary. Check the exact seating-time policy and dress code before travelling with younger diners.
- The resort entrance matters. Confirm the correct valet, tower or hotel wing to avoid a late arrival.
Choose the ExperienceThe Palm has three very different dining worlds
- Long-form tasting. STAY, FZN or Trèsind Studio
- Views and social energy. Nobu or SUSHISAMBA
- Seafood-led dinner. Milos or La Mar
