La Dame de Pic Dubai

La Dame de Pic sits on the 25th floor of One, a fifteen-minute walk from the Burj Khalifa. The restaurant holds a Michelin star and serves contemporary French cuisine in a room that runs smart and elegant.

The high guest rating—4.85 from 136 reviews—points to a precision that distinguishes this floor from the high-volume dining rooms found throughout the rest of Za’abeel. While many neighbouring venues rely on the spectacle of the nearby Dubai Opera to draw a crowd, this restaurant is an expensive, intentional choice for those who prefer the detachment of a high-altitude terrace. It is smaller and more focused than the scene-heavy venues at the base of the tower, making it the better pick when you want the view without the noise of the main tourist thoroughfares.
