Ristorante L’Olivo at Al Mahara is a culinary masterpiece that all visitors should experience, taking in the beauty Dubai has to offer. Run by two Michelin-starred chefs, the food is of course impeccable, but the atmosphere is what diners run back for. Located within the aquarium at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah the restaurant is set alongside floor-to-ceiling aquarium views. With a seafood centric menu, there is truly no better destination than this.
