At.mosphere: Sky-High Elegance at Burj Khalifa
Perched on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa, At.mosphere is the world’s highest restaurant, offering French-European cuisine with panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline and the Arabian Gulf. In 2025, it remains a Michelin-starred icon, blending opulence with culinary finesse under chef Nicolas De Visch.
The degustation menu, starting at 880 AED, showcases dishes like langoustine royale and tarte tatin, crafted with premium ingredients. The art-deco interiors, featuring jewel-toned wallpaper and mirrored staircases, evoke timeless luxury. Afternoon tea, accompanied by live violin and piano, is a decadent ritual, with delicate sandwiches and champagne.
Despite its lofty price and formal dress code, At.mosphere’s allure lies in its unmatched setting. The view - glittering skyscrapers by day, a neon tapestry by night - makes it a favorite for celebrations. Booking well in advance is essential, as tables by the floor-to-ceiling windows are highly sought after. At.mosphere is Dubai dining at its most iconic.
