Ossiano
Swish seafood restaurant
- 1
Time Out Says
Ossiano is a bit of a Dubai institution – and with good reason. Excellent service, swish surroundings – and a massive fish tank to get you in the mood for all of the seafood you’re about to put away.
There’s no denying that it’s on the pricey side, but fork out and you will be rewarded by the shell-load, both in terms of food and setting.
On arrival you’re led down a sweeping staircase to a swanky underwater dining room. It’s dimly lit, with white tablecloths and much cutlery.
There’s an exclusive air and we feel a bit like Jack Dawson entering the first class cabin of the Titanic, but not for long, as staff are welcoming.
The Experience Menu lets you choose between four, five and seven courses – each of which is nothing short of wonderful.
Oysters, scallops, cod and tuna – it’s all phenomenal and arrives in a haze of dry ice and foams.
Presentation is exquisite and there’s all manner of textures and flavours. There are also meat dishes available and the beef tartare is some of the best we’ve eaten.
Make sure you get dolled up when you come here. There’s a well-heeled crowd and your efforts will be noted.
For a special occasion you can’t beat it, and we’ll definitely be heading back – when the bank balance allows, that is.
