It is 11:40pm on a Thursday and most Dubai kitchens have long since scraped down the pass. The city's steak rooms keep a different clock. At STK in JBR the DJ is only hitting his stride; up on the 74th floor at Carna, the last Fiorentina of the night is being carved while the Burj Khalifa show winds down below. Late-night steak in Dubai is its own small genre — part dinner, part nightcap, occasionally part dancefloor.
This guide ranks the nine best late night steakhouses in Dubai for 2026: every one takes a serious steak order after 11pm, and several push well past midnight. We score the meat first, then on whether the room holds up late — lighting, service energy, and whether the kitchen is still cooking properly at the back of the night. Prices below are per the venues' 2026 menus where we could confirm them; book the last seating ahead on weekends.
How we ranked Dubai's late steak rooms
Three things separate a genuine late-night steakhouse from a place that merely closes late. The kitchen: is a full grill menu live at 11pm, or has it shrunk to a burger and fries? The room: a great steak at midnight still wants life in it, not a half-lit hall being stacked with chairs. And the booking math: the best late tables are a known quantity, so we note the seating window that works at each. Everything here comes from our own visits across 2024–26, paying our own way.
#1
STK Dubai — JBR
Rixos Premium, The Walk JBR · Open to 1:00am
STK Dubai at Rixos Premium JBR — the steakhouse-meets-nightclub room that defines late-night beef on The Walk.
If "late night steakhouse" had a flagship in Dubai, this is it. STK runs a New-York-steakhouse menu over a club soundtrack, and the format works: the kitchen stays open until 1am, and on Thursday and Friday the DJ takes the room past dinner into something closer to a party. You eat a proper bone-in ribeye and end the night without changing venues.
- Order this
- The bone-in ribeye (around AED 360); for the table, the "Not So Common" wagyu burger (around AED 110) and a tower of lil' BRGs.
- Late-night intel
- Book the 9pm seating — it catches the dinner-to-party flip. The DJ usually lifts around 9:30pm; banquettes near the floor are the seats to ask for.
- Best for
- A group that wants steak and a night out in one room.
- Skip if
- You want a quiet, conversation-first dinner — this is loud by design.

Carna by Dario Cecchini
SLS Dubai, Business Bay · 74th floor · Open to 1:00am
Carna by Dario Cecchini on the 74th floor of SLS Dubai — Tuscan butchery with a Business Bay skyline.
The Tuscan butcher Dario Cecchini's Dubai room sits 74 storeys up in Business Bay, all velvet and low light, with one of the best skyline outlooks in the city. The kitchen takes last orders at 11:30pm and the room runs to 1am, so it doubles neatly as a late, view-led dinner or a serious-meat nightcap. The beef is the point — bistecca handled with proper respect.
- Order this
- Bistecca alla Fiorentina (AED 76 per 100g — a 1.2kg porterhouse for the table runs close to AED 900); solo, the Butcher Steak 350g (AED 195) is the smart value cut.
- Late-night intel
- Ask for a window two-top facing the Burj Khalifa. The room is at its best after 10pm, once the early dinner crowd thins and the lighting does its work.
- Best for
- A late, view-driven celebration or a quiet high-floor nightcap.
- Skip if
- You're watching the bill — this is the priciest table on the list.

#3
Nusr-Et Steakhouse
Four Seasons Resort, Jumeirah Beach Road · Kitchen to ~midnight
Nusr-Et at the Four Seasons Jumeirah — Nusret Gökçe's theatre-first steakhouse, open to roughly midnight.
Salt Bae's flagship is more theatre than most, but the kitchen runs late — noon until around 12:30am — and the steaks back up the showmanship more than the internet allows. Come for the spectacle, the gold-leaf, and a midnight steak.
- Order this
- The Ottoman Steak and the Nusret "spaghetti"; the gold-leaf Golden Tomahawk (north of AED 1,000) is the showpiece. Finish with baklava.
- Late-night intel
- It calms noticeably after 10:30pm once the dinner rush clears — the better window for the table-side salt routine without a crowd of phones.
- Best for
- First-timers who want the spectacle and a late steak in one sitting.
- Skip if
- You find theatrics over substance tiresome.

Booking tip for the last seating
For STK, Carna and Nusr-Et, the 9–10pm tables on Thursday to Saturday book out a week or two ahead. If you want to eat past 11pm on a weekend, reserve the latest slot the system offers and ask to be seated "for a late dinner" in the notes — most of these rooms will hold a late table longer than the default if they know you're coming for it.
#4
Seafire Steakhouse
Atlantis, The Palm · Long, late dinners
Seafire Steakhouse at Atlantis The Palm — dry-aged cuts and a terrace over the resort fountains.
Atlantis's grown-up steak room is built for the long, unhurried dinner that drifts past 11:30pm without anyone rushing you. The dry-aged programme is the strength, and the terrace tables over the resort fountains make it the most romantic option on the list.
- Order this
- The 1.2kg bone-in Tomahawk (around AED 720, serves two) or a dry-aged ribeye; the chateaubriand for a couple.
- Late-night intel
- Request a terrace table facing the fountains. Solo or as a two, the open-kitchen counter is the seat that keeps a late dinner lively.
- Best for
- A resort-night blowout for a couple or a family.
- Skip if
- You want a fast in-and-out — this is a slow, two-hour-plus dinner.

Prime 68
JW Marriott Marquis, Business Bay · 68th floor · Bar runs late
Prime 68 on the 68th floor of JW Marriott Marquis — a USDA-Prime steak with a Sheikh Zayed Road view.
Sixty-eight floors up, Prime 68 trades on a USDA-Prime grill and a window line that runs the length of Sheikh Zayed Road. Dinner runs to around midnight and the adjoining bar keeps going — an easy steak-then-nightcap evening without leaving the floor.
- Order this
- The USDA Prime ribeye (around AED 380) or a wagyu rib-eye; the view does the rest of the work.
- Late-night intel
- Take the last dinner seating around 10pm, then slide to the bar. Corner tables have the cleanest down-the-highway view.
- Best for
- A skyline-first steak with a nightcap to follow.
- Skip if
- Heights unsettle you — this is a long way up.

Fogo de Chão
DIFC · Late weekend service
Fogo de Chão in DIFC — continuous-service Brazilian churrasco for the late, big-appetite table.
The Brazilian churrasco format is built for stamina, which makes Fogo a natural late choice when the table is hungry and in no hurry. Gaúcho chefs work the room with skewers of fire-grilled cuts on continuous service — you eat at your own pace until you flip your card.
- Order this
- The full churrasco rodízio (around AED 295 per person at dinner). Hold out for the picanha and the lamb chops — they're the highlights.
- Late-night intel
- Keep your service card on red until you're genuinely ready for more, or the pace runs away from you. The market-table salad bar is included — use it as a breather, not a starter.
- Best for
- Big appetites and groups who want unlimited meat, late.
- Skip if
- You eat lightly — rodízio rewards the committed.

#7
Toro Loco Steakhouse
Palm Jumeirah, East Crescent · Quiet and late
Toro Loco Steakhouse on the Palm's East Crescent — a small, South-American-leaning grill that stays calm and late.
A neighbourhood-feeling grill on the Palm's quieter East Crescent, Toro Loco leans South American — grass-fed cuts handled simply, char-forward, without the resort-scene volume. Our pick for a late steak when you want the food without the spectacle, and its near-perfect guest rating reflects a kitchen that quietly over-delivers.
- Order this
- A grass-fed bife de chorizo (sirloin) off the grill; mains land around AED 220–300.
- Late-night intel
- It stays genuinely calm late, which is the appeal — but the room is small, so book ahead on weekends rather than walking in.
- Best for
- A low-key late steak away from the resort crowds.
- Skip if
- You want a big scene and a soundtrack.

#8
Bushman's Restaurant & Bar
Anantara The Palm · Steak & late bar
Bushman's at Anantara The Palm — an Australian-leaning steakhouse with a proper bar for the late finish.
An Australian-leaning steakhouse with a bar built for lingering, Bushman's is the steak-and-a-drink finish to a Palm evening — grain-fed cuts, an easy lagoon-side setting at Anantara, and a room happy for you to stretch dinner late over cocktails.
- Order this
- An Australian grain-fed sirloin or ribeye; mains sit around AED 250–350.
- Late-night intel
- The bar is the reason to stay — order the steak, then move to a stool for the back half of the night.
- Best for
- A relaxed late steak with cocktails attached.
- Skip if
- You need city-buzz energy rather than resort calm.

#9
Logs and Embers American Smokehouse
Club Vista Mare, Palm Jumeirah · Beachfront, late
Logs and Embers at Club Vista Mare — beachfront American smokehouse for a casual, smoke-forward late dinner.
The most casual entry, and the most fun if you want barbecue energy with your steak. This beachfront American smokehouse on Club Vista Mare leans into low-and-slow — brisket, smoked short rib, big shareable boards — served late with sand-and-skyline views and zero formality.
- Order this
- The smoked short rib or brisket board; plates land around AED 150–250.
- Late-night intel
- Beachfront seating stays open late and laid-back; go for the smoke, not the white-tablecloth ritual.
- Best for
- A casual, smoky late dinner by the water.
- Skip if
- You want fine-dining polish — this is deliberately rough-luxe.

Late-night steak, by the area
If location is your starting point, the city splits cleanly after dark. JBR is the engine room — STK anchors it, and the wider JBR scene keeps going on The Walk past midnight. Business Bay owns the high-floor end, with Carna and Prime 68 trading skyline views from the 70s; see the Business Bay restaurant guide for what's nearby. And Palm Jumeirah is where the resort steakhouses cluster — Seafire, Toro Loco, Bushman's and Logs and Embers all sit a short ride apart. For the bigger picture, our Dubai steakhouse guide covers every cut and price tier.
What it costs after dark
The spread is wide. The smokehouse and Brazilian end is the value play — Fogo's rodízio at around AED 295 per person, Logs and Embers boards from AED 150. STK and Prime 68 land in the AED 400–600-per-head zone with sides and a drink. Carna and Nusr-Et are the splurge: a signature Fiorentina or a gold tomahawk for the table tips a couple past AED 800–1,000. Building a wider night out? Our budget dining guide and cheap eats list cover the cheaper end.
More steak, drilled down
This list is part of our Top 20 Steakhouses in Dubai cluster. If late-night isn't your only filter, these sibling guides slice the same field a different way:
Your questions, answered
Which steakhouse in Dubai is open latest?
STK Dubai at Rixos Premium JBR serves until 1am most nights, with a DJ that runs the room into the early hours on Thursday and Friday. Carna at SLS Dubai also closes at 1am, with last food orders at 11:30pm.
Can you get a steak after midnight in Dubai?
Yes. STK JBR (to 1am), Carna (to 1am) and Nusr-Et at the Four Seasons (kitchen to roughly midnight, doors to 12:30am) all take late steak orders. Resort rooms like Seafire run long, leisurely dinners that comfortably pass 11:30pm.
How much is a late night steak dinner in Dubai?
Budget AED 250–350 per person at the smokehouse and Brazilian end, AED 400–600 at STK and Prime 68, and AED 700–1,000+ at Carna and Nusr-Et once a signature tomahawk or Fiorentina joins the table.
Do I need to book the last seating?
On weekends, yes — especially STK, Carna and Nusr-Et, whose 9–10pm tables fill a week or two ahead. Walk-ins get easier after 11pm midweek, but the window and terrace tables go to bookings.
Are these steakhouses halal?
The beef at all nine is halal-certified, standard across Dubai's licensed hotel steakhouses. Several sit inside licensed venues that also serve alcohol; the meat itself remains halal.
