Ideal for… a fancy night out for drinks and dinner with that special someone on the Marina side.

 

Restaurant name and location: Atelier M at Pier 7, Dubai Marina (a building with 7 Food and beverage concepts under one roof – Atelier M is on the 7th floor)

Cuisine: French cuisine with an asian twist (a trend happening in new york city)

Atmosphere: Quiet, as it was a weekday and they still didn’t have the grand opening but the interiors were super glamorous and impressive.

What they say: Atelier M is a unique, soulful, multilevel dining and lounge experience in Dubai Marina. Occupying the top three levels of Pier 7, patrons can expect a truly top tier dining experience where après dining overlooks the panoramic vistas of the Dubai waterfront district. With a seafood emphasis, diners can enjoy the likes of lobster bocarrini & Alaskan king crab, prepared with the most rare, artisanal ingredients like hand churned butter sought out by celebrity head chef, Mohammad Islam.

 

What to order:

-Crab croquettes

-Beef carpaccio (garlic/truffle – one of the best)

-Tuna tartare (black pepper tinge)

-Jumbo shrimp salad (juicy)

-Eggplant with caramel soy

-Sweet potato as side

-The desserts were delicious… Valrhona foundant with coconut icecream & chocolate chips, Roasted spiced pineapple and Sticky toffee pudding

 

Service: Average, but I went out to the restaurant before their grand opening.

 

What I loved:

-Fully open plan kitchen

-Glamourous interiors and space – classic art deco with beautiful chandeliers.

-Lounge and bar on top, restaurant below.

-Sharing concept

-Interesting cuisine choice… French with an Asian twist. A trend going on in New York City.

-Classy looking and well dressed Parisian looking waiters.

 

Bill for two: AED400
