Dinner at Al Muntaha at Burj Al Arab

on 02 Nov 2025

by Liam Collens

Lunch at Al Muntaha in the Burj Al Arab: 16 months ago, dinner felt like someone threw every “luxury” stereotype at the wall and hoped for a second Michelin star to stick.

Fast-forward to late 2025 (where I am invited), and the transformation is a relief: sunlight now bounces off the pale interiors, the sea view is the moneyshot, and the food feels reassured and confident.

Lunch at Al Muntaha in the Burj Al Arab: 16 months ago, dinner felt like someone threw every “luxury” stereotype at the wall and hoped for a second Michelin star to stick.

Fast-forward to late 2025 (where I am invited), and the transformation is a relief: sunlight now bounces off the pale interiors, the sea view is the moneyshot, and the food feels reassured and confident.

There’s still ceremony but in the right way that creates a sense of occasion and feels special. The menu is now sharper, slimmer, intuitive. The Jerusalem artichoke and white truffle “pre-dessert” and the boot-lace-thick spaghettoni with tuna crudo stand out on the new menu.

The vibe is elegant without being pompous; indulgent, yes, but without the froth now feels deliberate instead of desperate.

In short: come for lunch (yes, really) when the light shines kindly on an eyebrow raising decor and the sea is visible.
