Bringing the Japanese, Brazillian and Peruvian fusion we didn’t know we needed, is SUSHISAMBA. Gradually making its mark across the globe, this flamboyant restaurant has stolen hearts through its diverse menu that offers a plate for every palate. The site in Dubai can be found on the 51st Floor of the St Regis Hotel, that offers unobstructed views of the iconic Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf, and the Dubai Skyline. With two lifts whisking guests 230 metres into the sky, this is the highest restaurant on Palm Island, and is known just as much for its views as it is its food.
Perhaps the one thing more impressive than the view outside of SUSHISAMBA, is the view of its interior. Showcasing an impressive 3D-printed ceiling installation, the wooden design is inspired by Japanese and Brazilian weaving traditions, and is one of the many signs that no expense has been spared during the creation of this restaurant. When bringing your focus back down to eye level, it’s hard to miss the electric atmosphere that fills the room, played in part to the open kitchen at its centre.
With a menu drawing from multiple backgrounds, it may come as no surprise that SUSHISAMBA boasts a large and diverse range of dishes. Representing Japanese fare is sushi and options from the Robata Grill, then a lighter option of ceviche for a taste of Peru. For the Brazillian side of things you can find the likes of churrasco and moqueca which bring a rich and umami flavour to the menu. To drink, there’s an extensive selection of cocktails that makes this restaurant just as much a destination for drinks with friends as it does those looking to eat.
If you’re looking to celebrate that recent engagement, or just the fact that you made it through another week of work, you’ll be hard pushed to find somewhere that offers a private dining setting quite like SUSHISAMBA. With a room that offers a long table perfect for an intimate dinner with friends, and a backdrop of Dubai through their floor to ceiling windows, it creates the perfect setting for any special occasion.
