Booking Nobu Dubai — what to know

Nobu Dubai sits inside Atlantis, The Palm and is the single most-searched restaurant in the city from the UK. The dining room is placed a week or two ahead for weekend dinners in season; Nobu by the Beach, a separate pool-and-restaurant at Atlantis The Royal, is a daytime booking with a 21-and-over pool.

How we book it

Send your date, party size and an indicative budget on WhatsApp and we confirm directly with the venue — typically within the hour during the season. Nothing is committed until you approve; if your first choice is full we come back with the closest genuine alternative in Dubai, never a downgrade dressed up.

Getting there & timing

Dubai's two airports take private jets around the clock with fast-track on arrival. The October-to-April season is when the city's tables are hardest to get. VIP transport — jets, helicopters and chauffeured cars — can be arranged around the booking for guests arriving from overseas.

About Nobu Dubai

Nobu Dubai occupies its own room inside Atlantis, The Palm, on Palm Jumeirah — the Japanese-Peruvian menu Nobu Matsuhisa built his name on, a terrace over the Gulf, and a room that fills with the hotel's guests and the city's. Dinner runs nightly from 6pm to 1am with lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 3pm. Nobu by the Beach, the separate beach club at Atlantis The Royal's pool, runs daily with the pool open from 9am to 7pm and the restaurant from noon to 9:30pm; the pool is for guests aged 21 and over.

The dress code is smart elegant at dinner — long trousers or smart jeans, sleeved shirts, closed shoes — and smart casual at lunch, where tailored shorts are accepted. Nobu by the Beach is beach chic. Minimums are not published and are confirmed on request for the date and table.

Booking, the OF.luxury way

One message covers it: date, party size and any preferences. We confirm availability and the night's terms directly with the venue, hold the table in your name, and stay reachable until you are seated. Every booking is subject to the venue's availability and confirmed case by case.

Nobu Dubai's address, and how to order the menu

Nobu Dubai is at Atlantis, The Palm, where it has moved into The Bridge Suite, once one of the hotel's signature suites. Nobu by the Beach is a separate, more casual venue at the neighbouring Atlantis The Royal. Give the driver the right hotel; the two are easily confused.

Ordering the way the kitchen intends

The kitchen suggests that first-time guests choose three or more of its Eight Highlights. Start with two or three cold dishes, move on to two or three hot ones, and finish with sushi and dessert. Everything is shared across the table. Ordering in rounds, cold then hot, also keeps the pace of a long dinner comfortable.

  • Yellowtail with jalapeño, sliced thin with garlic purée, coriander and citrus soy.
  • Tuna sashimi salad, grilled rare, with Nobu Matsuhisa's onion soy dressing.
  • Rock shrimp tempura in a creamy spicy sauce with yuzu.
  • Black cod marinated for several days in den miso, then baked and finished under the grill.

Who it suits

The shared format works well for a group of six or eight, where the table can try much of the menu. For a business dinner, a smaller table early in the evening keeps the conversation audible. The restaurant also takes private events for a closed party.

In the same resort is Ossiano; at Atlantis The Royal next door is Ling Ling.
