Al Mahara

Al Mahara is known as Burj Al Arab’s signature restaurant. Although the so-called “submarine journey” into the dining room is nothing more than an elevator ride, and the “underwater” element is simply a floor-to-ceiling aquarium, the ambiance is unique enough to warrant a visit (unless watching sea creatures swim around as you devour them will make you uneasy). Here, the food is all about decadence and presentation, from Beluga caviar to Wagyu beef served with bone marrow and Alaskan king crab and foie gras, all served in picture-perfect platings. The seafood dishes in particular are heavenly.
