Meal to impress at At.Mosphere

If you’ve got someone to impress, here’s an easy two-step process: Stop off at a big-name jeweller (preferably one that puts its wares in a distinguished red or perhaps turquoise box) before heading up to the top of Burj Khalifa with your beloved for a lunch to dazzle the eyes and the tastebuds at At.Mosphere on the 122nd floor.

At least that’s what the man at a table next to me had done at a recent lunch there, and from the gasp of his guest as she opened the pretty box at the table, it had the desired effect.

Eating here is like something from a movie — proposals, birthdays — but since it’s inside the world’s highest fine dining restaurant, it’s not surprising it’s a spot for occasions. And do go for lunch — not only is it lighter on the wallet, but this is when you can really enjoy the views. It’s also a pretty classy way to spend the middle of your day. Evenings are such a cliche, non?

Thankfully, the fact it’s in a tourist attraction doesn’t detract from the food, which has only improved since the restaurant first opened.
