Located on the 27th floor of Burj Al Arab, serving fine European cuisine in impressive surroundings, it should be a highlight of any Dubai trip. The hotel welcome, glass-lift ascent to the restaurant, and bizarre Star Trek-ish entrance all promise something special, but it’s all a little underwhelming.
The view, stunning during the day, disappears at night unless you can bag a table overlooking the glittering Palm and Marina. If hushed chat and clinking cutlery is your idea of the atmosphere, go on a Monday, otherwise, make visit Tuesday to Sunday when the piano adds an elegant touch.
