«I needed Atelier M to be one of the most beautiful venues in Dubai, and a true defender of fine Mediterranean cuisine. The lounge is Art Deco inspired, and the rooftop boasts impeccable service in an elegant atmosphere. Every window boasts a different view. My aim was to create a personalized experience that was unforgettable,» says Islam.

You can spend your entire evening with us in impeccable style without needing to go elsewhere. Kick off with pre-dinner drinks in the lounge, move to our restaurant for great cuisine, and continue the night with live entertainment and excellent DJs on the rooftop,» he says.

Islam’s carefully crafted menu is studded with signature favourites like the Truffle Pizza with Fontina Cheese, Tiger Shrimp Salad with Truffle Vinaigrette, Roasted Lamb Shank with Saffron Risotto, and the Gnocchi with Alaskan King Crab. «It’s a simple formula for excellent cooking. We’ve picked an award-winning team from around the world, use the finest products for our dishes, and buy local and organic when we can,» Islam explains.
