Atelier M

Dubai Marina & Palm Jumeirah


Home-grown Atelier M delivers a double treat atop the circular Pier 7 building. The lift drops you at the restaurant, which serves respectable French-Asian fare, but for the party, you need to head up to the rooftop lounge for killer views, the full spectrum of booze options and DJs keen on kicking up the energy.
