The steakhouse by the renowned Spanish chef Dani Garcia opened in late 2023 and immediately topped the list of Dubai’s best meat restaurants.

The venue features an open kitchen and exceptional terrace. Visit for the UAE’s best Australian Wagyu 9+ steaks impeccably grilled over an open fire.

This is a cozy villa with a wood-fired grill that the restaurant’s chef-owner, Singaporean Akmal Anuar, uses to cook almost everything on the menu, from cauliflower steak to opulent 800-gram Australian black Angus steaks.

An exemplary tournedos from Wagyu beef with pepper sauce and a classic rib-eye with young potatoes and tempura-fried Padron peppers are the two principal signature steaks on the à la carte menu of the international chain L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon.
