One of the highest restaurants in the world, At.mosphere occupies the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa, more than 440 metres above Downtown Dubai. Opened in 2011, a year after the tower itself, it was created as the building's signature fine-dining destination, reached by a dedicated high-speed lift from the ground floor. The venue is split between a grill restaurant and a lounge, the two sharing floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the city, the coast and the desert far below. The restaurant focuses on modern European and grill cooking, with prime cuts, seafood and a tasting menu served in a low-lit, formal setting. The adjoining lounge offers a more relaxed way to take in the height, with afternoon tea, light dishes and cocktails through the day and evening. Tables beside the glass are in high demand, and a minimum spend usually applies for window seating, reflecting the venue's position and views. A smart dress code and advance booking are the norm, and the restaurant is a frequent choice for special occasions and visiting guests. For many visitors, dining here serves as an alternative to the tower's observation decks, swapping a viewing platform for a table in the sky. Reaching the restaurant involves checking in at a dedicated desk in the tower before a single high-speed lift carries guests most of the way up, with the final approach on foot. The setting is aimed at adults and special occasions, with a smart dress code enforced and advance reservations strongly advised. For many visitors it offers a different way to experience the Burj Khalifa from the observation decks, trading a viewing gallery for a meal or afternoon tea at one of the highest dining rooms on earth. Sunset reservations are especially sought after, when the changing light over the city and coast turns the view into part of the experience.
