Dubai
Located at Atlantis, The Palm, and submerged 10 metres below one of the world’s largest aquariums, Ossiano is an intimate, luxurious and romantic space seating just 54 guests per evening, making it one of Dubai’s go-to destinations for celebrations and special occasions.
On arrival, guests descend a curved staircase into a dimly lit dining room surrounded by a breathtaking underwater vista, signalling the start of an immersive dining experience like no other.
Inspired by the flavours and ingredients of the Atlantic, Ossiano’s intricate 10-course tasting takes guests on a culinary voyage crafted by chef Grégoire Berger and heavily supported by a front-of-house team led by Guillaume Barray.
Having been Atlantis, The Palm’s signature restaurant for the best part of a decade and one of the pioneers of Dubai’s fine dining scene, Ossiano’s talented team has achieved numerous culinary accolades, having ranked No.3 on the Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list and having retained its Michelin star.
Ossiano places guests firmly at the centre of its offering, with carefully crafted and timed experiences devised to stimulate (and sometimes even deprive) specific senses throughout the meal. As guests explore the menu, each course reveals rich, diverse flavours from the vibrant markets of Seville to the tranquil shores of Brittany – where Chef Berger is originally from. Inspired by the stories of those who once navigated the Atlantic Ocean and guided by the creativity and passion of its leader, the menu is presented with a culinary compass inspired by a planisphere.
For the ‘first wave’ of the experience, each table is whisked away to a darkened room lit by bioluminescent plankton. A few courses later, diners are taken to the bar area for a palate-cleansing shot, while back at the table, foie gras is sliced and served from a previously lit candle. Most dishes are prepared or finished tableside, giving diners the time to explore the origins of each dish and allowing for more opportunities where the team can interact and inform.
According to Berger, earning the Art of Hospitality Award 2025 is a testament to what can be achieved when service is driven by love, purpose and a shared vision of excellence.
After nearly a decade, Chef Berger left Ossiano at the end of 2024 to pursue other projects, but the team will continue to welcome guests to experience the next phase of award-winning hospitality.
The Art of Hospitality Award is a special recognition for excellence in restaurant service and dining experiences. It is the result of the votes of more than 250 independent restaurant industry experts and well-travelled gourmets from across the MENA region.
