Among the many things Dubai does exceptionally well is rooftop restaurants – complete with breath-taking views that eternally etch themselves into the minds of those fortunate to experience such scenes. Welcome to Attiko.

A swift elevator ride transports visitors to the 31st floor of the W Dubai Mina Seyahi, the hotel’s rooftop where the chic restaurant/ lounge is located. Upon arrival, the elegant lobby pulsates with the sounds from within; a synthesis of deep house music and the voices of the stylish crowds that frequent the hotspot.

Wandering through the expansive space with its moody lighting, urban-themed décor and magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Dubai’s illustrious shoreline view, Attiko’s vibe is warm and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for a date night but also lends itself to sophisticated soirees with friends, evident by the varied groups of diners. While the interiors ooze opulence in a contemporary fashion, the jewel in the crown is the spectacular outdoor terrace – a feast for the senses in more ways than just one.

Overlooking many of the city’s prominent landmarks including Bluewaters Island, Dubai Harbour and the Palm Jumeirah, the playful eclecticism spills out onto the sprawling al fresco space under the glow of the moonlight. On the weekends, roaming musicians play alongside upbeat DJ sets creating an ambiance that has no doubt been meticulously curated to transport guests on a soulful journey, away from the hustle and bustle of the city below.

Paying homage to culinary creativity, signature dishes include the Chilean seabass, chicken katsu, crispy scallop tempura and spicy wagyu beef striploin. Plant-based palettes are also well-catered for with highlights such as the crispy cauliflower maki, mushroom gyoza and eggplant tempura ticking all of the boxes. Skilfully honouring its pan-Asian influences, the result is a modern menu with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and a flamboyant cocktail list to match.

Attiko’s drinks menu, bursting with creative blends, beautifully compliments the gastronomic delights. Signature beverages elevate the experience via cleverly crafted concoctions that reflect the restaurant’s very essence. Try the refreshingly-spicy Tattiko or the smoky-bitter Verttiko – both a symphony for the tastebuds.

With magnificent views from every angle, arrive in time to enjoy the blazing Arabian sunset in all its glory. A picture-perfect moment, indeed. Book now
