Ocean-inspired progressive fine dining in Dubai

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Located at the iconic Atlantis, The Palm on Palm Jumeirah, ultra-luxurious fine-dining restaurant Ossiano offers an immersive dining experience unlike any other in Dubai. Inside the restaurant, every step down the grand marble staircase draws guests deeper into an otherworldly experience, leading them 33 feet beneath the surface to a magnificent dining room encased in one of the largest aquariums in the region, home to 65,000 marine creatures. The effect is mesmerizing — an intimate, dreamlike space where the boundaries between land and sea blur.

The restaurant offers a meticulously curated 10-course tasting menu that celebrates the bounty of the sea and coastal landscapes. A meal at Ossiano combines exceptional ingredients and precise cooking techniques with careful storytelling, incredibly bold and creative presentation, and impeccable service to craft a truly memorable progressive fine-dining experience in Dubai.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The Dubai restaurant’s spectacular setting is unmatched, with stingrays, sharks, moray eels and schools of fish gliding past its floor-to-ceiling windows. While dining at Ossiano, you’ll have front-row seats to the resort’s Ambassador Lagoon, home to more than 250 marine species. Overhead, an installation creates the feeling of being seated under water droplets suspended in the air, while beneath your feet is a plush carpet reminiscent of the many hues of the ocean.
An ode to the art of culinary exploration, the 10-course tasting menu Culinary Voyage takes diners on a journey along the Atlantic Ocean’s coastal regions, from the bustling markets of Seville to the shores of Brittany. As per the restaurant’s commitment, all ingredients are sustainably sourced from the oceans or within 31 miles of a coastline.
Creatively weaving a narrative around the diverse flavors on the menu, thoughtful details — some theatrical — transform a meal at Ossiano into a multisensory experience that emphasizes a sense of discovery. A culinary compass, inspired by a planisphere, accompanies the latest menu, along with a captain’s journal, so that diners can learn about the origins of every dish in an engaging way. The evening starts with a delicate coral-shaped snack that symbolizes the beauty of ocean reefs and sets the stage for the rest of the ocean-inspired meal.
Artfully presented canapés include a blue spirulina-coated meringue filled with Sicilian purple prawn tartare, and a nori tartlet featuring dry-aged yellowtail with wasabi ice cream and umeboshi-flavored sesame seeds.
Showcasing a respect for seasonality, terroir and sea foraging, the 10-course menu features inventively presented dishes that masterfully combine textures and flavors. These include scallops with white corn, almond and coconut — a nod to South American cuisine, beef cecina with creamy Spanish flavors, Brittany squid with Latin American influences and Norwegian langoustine with the surprisingly balanced flavors of passionfruit and jalapeño. For the main course, enjoy a taste of the coastlines of Brittany through the croque monsieur, or feast on the Welsh lamb tagine with rose and mint.
