La Mar by Gaston Acurio, Dubai

Absolutely love this place! The food is amazing, I enjoyed every bit of it, ingredients are super fresh! One of the best scallops I ever had, was very tender! Amazing chef! Also the cocktails were masterpieces, really impressive! The ambience is great! There are indoor and outdoor seatings available! Loved the service, everyone is so friendly and attentive! Want to thank everyone for such a wonderful service!

A true ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ experience! We booked an 11-course tasting menu that somehow turned into 13 courses 😁 Totally worth every penny. Very kind and attentive staff, everyone knew every detail about each dish and drink, and they were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The food was served at the perfect pace: not rushed, not slow. Every dish was full of flavor (we chose the “Around the World” set), and as a lovely anniversary surprise, we were given an extra dessert plus a beautiful mini box of homemade chocolates as a 13th dosh, such a great touch! Some dishes reminded us of childhood flavors in the best way, but elevated with a refined presentation. By the end we were so full. Some portions felt closer to regular-size plates than typical tasting-menu portions 😄 Cocktails were spot-on too, served in gorgeous glassware with stylish garnishes. We had the set menu for two with about four cocktails, water, coffee, and a beer, and spent around €450 total, which felt very fair for the quality and the amazing view of the Atlantis fountain show. A must visit restaurant at Atlantis The Royal, 100%. Huge thanks to the team for the amazing service!

La Mar stands among the most distinguished dining experiences I have encountered in Dubai. If one were to select a venue for an unforgettable evening, this would be the definitive choice. The integrity, freshness, and refinement of the ingredients are immediately evident; each bite delivers remarkable depth and authenticity, evoking the vibrant culinary soul of Latin America with elegance and precision. The thoughtfully curated Latin rhythms enrich the atmosphere without overpowering it, enhancing the sensory journey and infusing the evening with a subtle yet irresistible vitality. Impeccable service, marked by attentiveness and genuine warmth, complements a sophisticated beverage program that elevates the experience to its fullest expression. In a city defined by luxury and competition, La Mar distinguishes itself with confidence and artistry. For those seeking not merely dinner, but a memorable gastronomic occasion, it is an unequivocal recommendation.

Our dinner was nothing but exceptionally perfect. While completely unplanned and last minute, this turned out to be one of the best dinners of our entire trip. The food was stunningly good (do try their tasting menu, which gives you a perfect journey through what La Mar has to offer). Service was absolutely top notch, both our waiter Walter as well as his beverage expert colleague (whose name we unfortunately forgot, but who just LIVES his job and really enjoys explaining the individual drinks and backstories) took wonderful care of us. The view of Atlantis the Royal's fire & fountain show was an amazing accompaniment to a really memorable evening.

La Mar at Royal Atlantis brunch is exceptional. I’m starting to fall in love with Peruvian cuisine, and the oysters were absolutely my favorite. The service is top-notch, attentive, professional, and consistent throughout. The restaurant strikes a perfect balance between elegance and simplicity, creating an undeniably great vibe. Highly recommended.

An excellent restaurant at Atlantis The Royal. The atmosphere is beautiful and feels truly special from the moment you arrive. The cocktails are fantastic - creative, delicious, and beautifully presented. The scallops literally melt in your mouth, and the seafood is fresh and perfectly prepared. A special mention to the staff - very friendly, attentive, and they create such a fun and welcoming vibe.

The place actually exceeded my expectations. They offered good selections for starters such as ceviche, oysters, salmon and etc. Then we had meat skewers and fish for main course - everything was so mouthwatering. The place was such a good catch if you are looking for a good peruvian brunch option. You also get to be entertaining by live guitar whilst dining and the DJ played good beats that gave latino vibes. The place is highly recommended for brunch plus it is located in Royal Atlantis. The staff were also attentive and made our brunch experience really great!

We celebrated a birthday and chose the special Journey tasting menu, and it was truly an experience to remember. Chef Andre personally presented each dish with so much love, passion, and enthusiasm - you could really feel how much heart he puts into his cuisine. We were completely immersed in this culinary journey from start to finish. A special thanks for the wonderful service: Jorge for his attentive care and excellent cocktail and wine selections, and Danilo for making the evening even more special. Everything was flawless — an evening we will cherish for a long time.
