There is no shortage of legendary dining venues in Dubai and the opening quarter of 2025 is set to welcome another big hitter with the announcement that CARBONE will take up residence in Atlantis The Royal. Described as ‘the most celebrity-studded restaurant on earth’, CARBONE is all about the classic New York-style Italian, so expect dishes like caesar salad, linguini vongole and chicken scarpariello alongside famed signatures like spicy rigatoni.

Guests will be served by tuxedo-clad waiters in a sprawling dining room that promises to transport diners back to the 1950s, with velvety jewel-tone nooks, damask-upholstered walls accented with Venetian glass mirrors and a curated collection of fine artwork. There’s also a terrace for alfresco drinks beneath the stars.
