Atlantis Dubai Hosts the Most Michelin-Starred Restaurants in the Middle East

Atlantis Dubai has cemented its reputation as a leading culinary destination in the Middle East, now home to more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other location in the region. During Dubai’s fourth Michelin Guide ceremony, four restaurants within the Atlantis Dubai complex received a total of six stars, highlighting the destination’s exceptional dining offerings.

Paul Baker, President of Atlantis, commented, “Having four Michelin-awarded restaurants under one destination with a total of six stars is a true testament to our commitment to world-class dining. It allows guests, including residents and international visitors alike, to experience some of the finest cuisines in the world, all in one location. The opening of FZN by Björn Frantzén marked an exciting milestone for us, and to achieve three Michelin stars in under 12 months is nothing short of extraordinary. We are proud to be home to the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the Middle East and remain committed to elevating our culinary offering even further.”

FZN by Björn Frantzén, which opened at Atlantis The Palm in November 2024, earned an impressive three Michelin stars, making Björn Frantzén the only chef in the world to currently operate three restaurants with three-star ratings. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the chef and the region’s culinary scene. Ossiano, Hakkasan Dubai, and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal Dubai each retained their one-star ratings from previous guides, reflecting ongoing excellence.

Frantzén said, “This recognition is an incredible honour, not just for me, but my entire team. Receiving three Michelin stars for FZN is a proud moment for us and reflects the hard work and creativity of everyone involved. We always knew we wanted to launch a restaurant in Dubai, and selecting the right partner was paramount. We are grateful to the Atlantis Dubai team for supporting our journey and helping to bring to life our vision.”

Alongside these awards, four other restaurants within the Atlantis complex received special mention in the 2025 Michelin Guide Dubai. These include Nobu Dubai, Ariana’s Persian Kitchen, Estiatorio Milos, and La Mar by Gastón Acurio. Furthermore, Studio Frantzén at Atlantis The Royal was recognised as a new entry in this year’s guide, further enriching the destination’s diverse culinary portfolio.
