Dining with the clouds: Burj Khalifa’s At.mosphere restaurant continues to be a destination of choice

The restaurants expansive tasting menu and refined lounge serve as an experience not to be missed

Sitting 442 meters above the streets of Dubai, At.mosphere restaurant offers an unparalleled fine dining experience like no other. Perched on the 122nd floor of the iconic Burj Khalifa, the highest restaurant in the Middle East provides panoramic views that simply must be seen to be believed. Whether enjoying a leisurely breakfast, indulgent afternoon tea, or exquisite evening meal, diners are treated to ever-changing vistas of the vibrant city skyline and azure waters of the Arabian Gulf far below.

At.mosphere first opened its doors in 2011 and established itself as the premier destination for special occasions and momentous celebrations in Dubai. While maintaining its reputation for world-class cuisine and service, the restaurant underwent a redesign in 2023 to refresh the space with a lighter, brighter aesthetic. Rich textures and dramatic accent walls have made way for happier hues of aqua, lime and tangerine. Elegant neutral fabrics and polished surfaces now bounce light around the dining rooms to luminous effect.

The overall feel is one of modern luxury. A wealth of floor-to-ceiling windows maximise the signature views, which truly must be seen to be believed. From any vantage point within the restaurant, the grand scale of the Dubai skyline spreads out before guests like a glittering twilight tapestry. Iconic landmarks like the Dubai Frame, Business Bay and glittering Marina skyline can be picked out with ease, with the majestic Dubai Fountain putting on a nightly light show directly below.

Diners are treated to exquisite European cuisine courtesy of the talented culinary team. Two new tasting menus have recently been introduced – a classic French option and a seasonal ‘Jardin’ selection focusing on the freshest local produce.

Complementing the sophisticated cuisine is an extensive beverage program overseen by expert sommeliers. Thoughtfully curated wine pairings designed to enhance each dish are available, or thirsty diners can sample cocktails, Champagnes and spirits from around the world. A top-quality selection of wines by the bottle or glass ensures there is something to suit all palates.

Adjacent to the restaurant lies the elegant At.mosphere Lounge. Open throughout the day, soft furnishings and flickering candles create an intimate setting for catching up over coffee or unwinding after work with creative cocktails. The signature ‘Coffee in the Clouds’ experience allows guests to sip their beverages while surrounded by mind-blowing vistas. High tea service here is a true extravagance, presented on multi-tiered stands laden with dainty sandwiches, scones and cakes against the soaring Dubai skyline backdrop. An indulgent ‘Champagne and Oysters’ experience is available to book, showcasing the very finest bubbly and bivalves against the dramatic backdrop.

As the highest restaurant globally, At.mosphere well deserves its prestigious reputation. Diners are treated to impeccable levels of bespoke service alongside unparalleled fine-dining experiences matched only by the views. Booking advance is strongly recommended to secure coveted window-side table bookings, especially around sunset. Experience dining among the clouds and be rewarded with a memorable evening made all the more special with the glittering city spread majestically below. At.mosphere continues to define luxury entertainment in Dubai and remains a ‘must visit’ for both residents and visitors alike to enjoy the spectacle.
