CÉ LA VI

An absolute highlight in Dubai! This beautiful luxury restaurant is located at the top of an impressive skyscraper and offers a breathtaking view of the skyline — especially at night, it’s simply unforgettable. From the very first moment, the service was outstanding. The entire team was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. We immediately felt welcome and truly valued as guests. Even though the restaurant was busy, they made a great effort to give us one of the best tables with a perfect view. A very special moment was my wife’s birthday. The restaurant surprised us with a lovely birthday cake decorated with “Happy Birthday” — such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that truly touched us. The service, atmosphere, and overall experience were all at the highest level. A luxurious evening we will never forget. Highly recommended — we will definitely come back!

CÉ LA VI Dubai is one of those truly iconic spots in the city, with spectacular views right in front of the Burj Khalifa. If you go before 6:00 pm, there’s no minimum spend, which already makes it a great plan. And if you go on a weekday, their set menu is honestly a fantastic option. The menu is brilliant because it lets you enjoy several iconic dishes in multiple courses. The truffle risotto was absolutely spectacular, rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. We also ordered the baos, which were amazing, some sushi, including salmon that was incredibly fresh and well executed, and the octopus, which was beautifully cooked. For dessert, we had a mango sorbet style cake and a chocolate mousse, and every single detail was on point. Elegant, well thought out, and delicious. A special mention to the cucumber Aperol, highly recommended, refreshing and different. Beyond the food, the views are breathtaking, the service is excellent, and the overall atmosphere is just beautiful. Being able to see the Burj Khalifa from above while enjoying such a well curated menu makes the experience even more special. Definitely one of the most top tier experiences in Dubai, highly recommended. If this review was helpful to you, leave a 💛

Out second time at Će La Vi, we enjoyed it as much as the first time. We chose the Grand Business Lunch at 180 AED and it was a great option. The food was very good, not too much, not too little, spice level just right. We did not go for alcohol this time as it was a hotter day so we only drank sparkling water and ice tea. A reservation is a must, although at times at lunch they seem to have available tables, especially indoor. The service was fast and the view amazing as always. Enjoy it!

We visited on Thursday evening at 22:30 The welcome was warm and pleasant, and we were seated within a few minutes. The background music was nice – a good vibe that gradually became louder as the night progressed. However, contrary to what we expected, it never really turned into a party atmosphere. It simply felt like a regular restaurant with increasingly loud music in the background, especially after midnight. Important note: At least on Thursdays, this is not a place where people stand up and dance. It’s more of an upscale restaurant with music than a proper party venue, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a lively dancing atmosphere. The food was quite good, but not exceptional. Most dishes were solid and enjoyable, but nothing truly memorable – except for one standout: the noodles with prawns, which were genuinely delicious and a real highlight. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing for the price level. Our waiter was not attentive enough, seemed somewhat distracted and a bit impatient, and was rarely present around our table. We had to ask five times for an ashtray before we finally gave up and asked a different waiter (who appeared to be the shift manager) to bring one. For a bill of around 1500 AED for just two people (without any desserts), we genuinely expected a significantly higher level of service and at least a few truly unforgettable dishes. In summary: We did enjoy the evening overall, but given the high prices, we were hoping for much more attentive service and food that would leave a stronger, more memorable impression.

Upscale restaurant lounge atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, has great view of the skyline in the outdoor seating but also great lighting inside as well and interior design. The service staff is very attentive and welcoming. Sabrina was especially great to have as a server. The food itself is good as well, a smaller selection of main type entrees like steak and fish, asian fusion appetizers, then a little bit more variety with the sushi. The presentation of the food is excellent and the portions are good sized. Overall a great time. The only real downside is the bathroom is a different level so you have to leave the restaurant and go down the stairs or an elevator which can take a few minutes. Otherwise highly recommended.

Definitely the *IT* place in Dubai!!! If you’re looking for great food, perfect service and exceptional food this is your place! Please spend some extra $$$ and book a panoramic table - it’s so worth it! You also get to experience the fountains!! We had a perfect service with Chanaka - professional, friendly, super nice!!! 🤩🔥 fav place in Dubai! We all had a manager stopped by and asked how’s our night and if there is anything they can do better? Love that touch! Obv coming back!

An outstanding dining experience. The lobster pasta was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Wagyu tenderloin steak was probably the best steak I’ve ever had in my life, incredibly tender, melting in the mouth, and exceptionally flavorful. The Wagyu gyoza were also excellent. A beautiful surprise for dessert as well: a refined chocolate dome and a brownie served with pear sorbet, both truly exquisite. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience at Cé La Vi Dubai! The service provided by Ibrahim and his colleague was fantastic: attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. The view was absolutely incredible, a perfect spot to admire the Burj Khalifa and Dubai from above. As we were celebrating our anniversary, they gave us a beautiful table with an amazing view and surprised us at the end with a cake, which was a lovely touch. The food was excellent overall, with a special highlight for the lamb chops (honestly some of the best we’ve ever had) A truly memorable experience!
