    FZN by Björn Frantzén Link

    Open for: Dinner

    Price range: $$$$

    Unless you’re flying into Dubai on a private jet, three-Michelin-starred FZN by the inimitable Björn Frantzén is a once-in-a-blue-moon splurge. The 27-seat, multiroom experience — which took Nobu’s place inside the original Atlantis, the Palm hotel — is impeccably orchestrated. Guests move from a stylish “living room” for amuse-bouches to the intimate main dining hall, glimpse the multimillion-dirham wine cellar, and return for dessert. Servers guide discreetly, letting the food command attention. Standout dishes — like the onion soup and French toast topped with truffle — lift familiar bistro fare to sensational heights, earning rave reviews from all the top chefs across town. Koshihikari rice layered with langoustine or poached turbot in walnut butter with caviar are equally spectacular.

    Know before you go: Just when you think it’s all over, the team brings out madeleines, fresh from the oven. You’ll want 10, even if you’re already full.
