Atelier M Dubai

Atelier M sits on the seventh floor of Pier 7, directly above Marina Mall. You find the entrance inside the complex that gathers several of the area's dining options into one vertical stack.

The room runs smart, leaning into the polished surfaces common to the district, but the Mediterranean menu avoids the heavy-handedness found in its neighbours. Most visitors arrive for the perspective over the harbour rather than the cooking, yet the kitchen shows more restraint than the surrounding glitz suggests. While the rest of the building relies on volume to pull in crowds, this venue is better treated as a place for a drink away from the pedestrian crush of the Marina Walk. It is a choice for when you want the height, but not the noise of the floor below.
