The famous Burj Al Arab underwater restaurant in Dubai is a French seafood restaurant. The seafood cooking method is not so authentically French. The ingredients are good, but the creativity and cooking methods are not satisfactory. It feels that the freshness of the ingredients is not brought into play. The restaurant is particularly famous for its huge underwater aquarium view, but that's all. In addition to making reservations in advance, you also need to wear formal clothes. Suits are provided for men, but leather shoes must be brought by yourself. The waiters are basically Indonesian or Malay, and it is easier to communicate in language.
The restaurant in the Burj Al Arab serves Western food, and the average price per person is a few hundred dollars. The seafood there is pretty good, the grilled crab legs are delicious, and the French soup is also first-class.
We ate six dishes, which was too much. I suggest you don't be too extravagant, rich people can do whatever they want, but it was really delicious. I have been traveling for almost a month, and I am going crazy eating Western food. My Chinese stomach is about to collapse, but the lobster stew is delicious. It's very expensive, two people ate 5,000 yuan.
The most famous restaurant in the Burj Al Arab must be this underwater restaurant. Now there is no 4-course dinner. The signature set menu is calculated per person, that is, if you order it, everyone at the table has to order it. We finally chose to order it a la carte, after all, the dishes in the signature set menu are the same on the menu. The oysters are of good quality and are very suitable as an appetizer. The main course is turbot fish, which is not bad with tartar sauce. The toffee pudding for dessert feels too sweet, but the dessert that comes later is more delicious... In general, the dishes are not amazing, but the environment and service are indeed extreme. If you come here, you can try it.
The environment is first-class. It is located on the ground floor of the Burj Al Arab. It is a very distinctive restaurant. The variety and taste of the dishes are average. The environment is what you eat, but I think I should try it when I come to Dubai
It is a standard French western style, divided into 5 dishes, 4 dishes and 3 dishes. The cheapest meal costs at least 650 yuan per person, and no alcohol is provided. If you need water, you can only order Aqua Panna mineral water. A bottle of 750ml costs 110AED, which is equivalent to more than 200 yuan! Really! Expensive! The scallops in the appetizer were so bitter that they were almost unpalatable. The duck spring rolls were good, but the 70%-rare steak as the main course was not bloody when cut open. It was as old as the braised beef at Wangpin. The sauce was also very unpalatable. The chocolate dessert at the end was also sweet to the point of being sad, and not sweet but not greasy.
The underwater restaurant of the Burj Al Arab was renovated last year and a new chef, Michelin chef Nathan Outlaw, came to take charge. However, I personally feel that for such a star restaurant, the taste is average and the presentation is not very delicate. The oyster and lobster risotto are relatively satisfactory dishes, especially the orange in the lobster risotto is surprisingly pleasant, and the seafood soup served before the meal is also very good. The scallops and desserts are OK, but the mint potatoes of Sidedish are quite disappointing. However, the environment is impeccable, from the entrance to the wine cabinet and the restaurant environment are very unique. The wine cabinet is very shocking, and the golden light is dazzling at any time. It's not that the dishes are unpalatable, but compared with the price and environment, they don't feel eye-catching, and are a bit mediocre.
