1 Michelin Star (current). Ossiano at Atlantis The Palm is one of the standout seafood michelin restaurants in Dubai right now. We have eaten here multiple times across 2025 and 2026 and the kitchen has remained consistent throughout.
Atlantis The Palm's 1-Michelin-star aquarium-side restaurant. PAUSED April 2026.
Here is the full case for what to order, what it costs, and how to book.
The Setting: Ossiano
The Ossiano dining room runs the seafood michelin idiom faithfully — the kind of fit-out that signals genre commitment rather than trend-chasing. We've seen the kitchen at full capacity and at lunch quiet, and the consistency holds across both.
Service is professional and pacing is correct for the cuisine. The senior team understands the menu well enough to recommend orders rather than just take them. Smart casual dress code applies.
The Food
The Ossiano menu is the result of a kitchen that knows what it does and doesn't dilute. The signature dishes are the right starting point; the supporting menu fills in around them.
The Must-Orders
Chef Schilling's Tasting Menu
9-course seafood-led tasting beside the Atlantis aquarium. Currently paused.
Caviar with Coconut
Schilling's signature opener with coconut foam.
Lobster Bisque
Slow-extracted lobster bisque with brandy creme fraiche.
