When it is a once-in-a-lifetime, pinch-me moment, Dubai knows how to do it in style. Whether it’s a sky-high dinner, a floating restaurant or the world’s smallest chef, eating out in the Emirates will help you dine on some novel environs which are worth bragging about on Instagram.

Dubai has some fantastic choices for special occasions with a range of cuisines under the sun. Read on further to find out more about these unique dining experiences that you’ll remember forever.

·      Dining in the Dark

The concept of dining in the dark takes you on an unforgettable journey and allows you to understand what those who are entirely blind go through. It is a unique dining experience that has been created on the science – sensory denial.

If you are planning to visit Dubai and are eager to experience this hype, Noire at the Fairmont Dubai does that with its three-course dining in the dark experience. The whole meal is paired with wine or your choice of soft drink.

Friendly waiters wearing night vision goggles serve the lip-smacking food. It is a flight through rich and well-balanced flavors. The struggle to navigate the plate, locate your glass and guess the elements makes it a truly memorable experience.

·      Dinner in the Sky

Dinner in the sky allows you and your loved ones to enjoy delicious meals at 50 meters above the ground. This experience is not for those suffering from acrophobia as a special crane above the city suspends the dining table.

During this 100 minutes experience, you get to enjoy not only delicious meals crafted by Le Meridian and the Westin Dubai Marina but also get panoramic views of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and other Dubai's landmark monuments. This dining experience can accommodate up to 22 guests.

·      Dinner Time Stories

Another unique dining experience is dinner time stories which combine lip-smacking food with storytelling and animation.

Le Petit Chef, who doubles as the world’s smallest chef, brings exciting visual mapping to the restaurant table using the cutting-edge 3D visual technology. This chef also uses effective storytelling through ingredients, flavors, sounds, sights, and tastes.

During this two-hour experience, you will be served a six-course meal as you are taken through the culinary journey taken by the legendary traveler. Watch as the music, decorations, props, and patterns all change simultaneously as each chapter of the story begins.

·      Dubai Dinner Cruises

Mixing a dining experience with unique sightseeing and sailing cruise makes dinner cruises in Dubai extremely popular.

The cruise is a glass-enclosed vessel that offers an elegant and exceptional dining experience. The Dinner Cruises is a slow, gentle cruise which takes you through the night as you watch the city’s most prominent monuments sparkle brightly.

Settle at your table to dine on continental and exotic dishes or drink and dance on the water with your families and friends.

·      Dinner at At.mosphere Dubai

Have you ever thought of dining on top of the world's tallest building? Well, At.mosphere provides you an opportunity to do not just that, but it also allows you to enjoy the jaw-dropping city views.

At.mosphere is an upscale, high-end restaurant and bar located on floor 122 of the iconic Burj Khalifa skyscraper. This restaurant and bar hold the Guinness World Record for the highest located restaurant and bar from ground level.

The food is exceptional and is a generous selection of authentic and exquisite dishes including mushroom quiches, hot sandwich, and other cuisines made from ingredients sourced from around the world exclusively for an unforgettable dining experience.
