CE LA VI Dubai

Ce La Vi sits on Level 54 of Tower 2, a ten-minute walk from the Burj Khalifa. The kitchen focuses on South East Asian and Japanese fusion, and the room runs smart and elegant.

This is where you go when you want to bypass the ground-level sprawl. While neighbouring venues in The Dubai Mall or Souk Al Bahar rely on heavy, intricate interiors for atmosphere, this restaurant uses the skyline as its primary architecture. It holds a Michelin star, but the accolade is secondary to the vantage point. You choose it for the distance; you trade the density of the surrounding district for a perspective you cannot find at the base of the tower.
