Famous Japanese restaurant Nobu will move into its new home in Dubai from January 23, 2023.
After 14 years at The Avenues at Atlantis, The Palm, the venue will move to hotel’s The Royal Bridge Suite on the 22nd floor. There will be a new menu to accompany the restaurant, lounge, bar and terrace’s new home.
From chef Nobu Matsuhisa and business partner Robert De Niro, the new Nobu will be accessed through a private elevator and will have five places to eat: The main dining room, a 13-seat sushi bar, VIP booths, private dining rooms or the terrace.
The lounge will be open from 10.30pm until 2am every Friday and Saturday, offering Nobu After Hours.
Timothy Kelly, executive vice president and managing director of Atlantis Dubai, said: “Nobu Restaurant Group is an incredibly valued partner for Atlantis. Having opened at the resort in 2008, the brand has established itself consistently as the authority on Japanese cuisine in Dubai and we look forward to evolving this offering into a brand-new space and what will be, one of the most stylish and spectacular dining and entertainment locations in Dubai.
“The place to see and be seen, the new Nobu Dubai is another phenomenal addition to Atlantis Dubai’s world-class culinary and entertainment offering, which is unrivalled to any other destination in the world”
Moving into Nobu’s former space in The Avenues will be two concepts from Swedish chef Bjorn Frantzén. When Atlantis The Royal opens in 2023, there will also be restaurants from José Andrés, Costas Spiliadis, Ariana Bundy and Heston Blumenthal. There will also be a Nobu by the Beach concept at the new property.
Matsuhisa added: “After 14 years of success with Atlantis in Dubai I am so excited to take the next step forward with our new Nobu restaurant. We have a great team in Dubai who have worked with me for many years, so I know that every guest who visits us will have an amazing Nobu experience.”
