Burj Khalifa Restaurants 2026: Complete Dining Guide

Burj Khalifa has five main dining destinations: At.mosphere (floor 122, international fine dining, 442 metres, world’s highest restaurant from ground level), The Lounge (floors 152–154, premium cocktails and bites, 585 metres, world’s highest lounge), Burj Club (floor 76, rooftop restaurant and social venue), and multiple Armani Hotel restaurants (floors 1–8, ranging from casual Italian to fine dining). All require advance reservations; all have smart casual or above dress codes.

Dining at the Burj Khalifa is a distinct category of restaurant experience — you’re not just eating, you’re at one of the world’s most recognisable addresses, at heights that most restaurants in other cities cannot approach. This guide covers every dining venue inside the tower, what each offers, what it costs, dress code requirements, and how to book. For dress code specifics across all venues, see our dress code guide.

At.mosphere — Floor 122 (World’s Highest Restaurant)

At.mosphere on floor 122 is one of the world’s highest restaurants, at 442 metres above ground. It serves international fine dining cuisine across breakfast, lunch, and dinner sittings, with floor-to-ceiling glass views of Dubai’s skyline in all directions. At.mosphere holds a Guinness World Record for the highest restaurant from ground level. Advance reservations are essential — particularly for dinner and sunset slots. Dress code: smart casual minimum (no shorts, flip-flops, or sportswear).

What to Expect

At.mosphere combines a premium dining experience with genuinely extraordinary views. The interior features warm-toned finishes, plush seating, and an intimate atmosphere unusual for a room at this height. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels on all sides ensure that virtually every table has a panoramic view of Downtown Dubai, the desert, or the Gulf coastline depending on orientation. The restaurant is divided into a main dining room and a lounge bar area.

Menu & Prices

  • Breakfast: 7:00 am – 10:30 am | From approximately AED 150–200 per person
  • Lunch: 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm | From approximately AED 250–350 per person
  • Dinner: 6:30 pm – 11:00 pm | From approximately AED 400–600 per person

Menu highlights include premium cuts, fresh seafood, international cuisine with modern plating, and an extensive wine list. The lounge bar serves cocktails, mocktails, and light bites throughout the day.

Practical Details

  • Floor: 122
  • Height: 442 metres (1,450 feet)
  • Dress code: Smart casual — no shorts, flip-flops, sportswear, or beachwear
  • Reservations: Essential — book through the official Burj Khalifa website or call the restaurant directly
  • Access: Dining at At.mosphere grants access to floor 122 without an observation deck ticket

For full menu details, reservation tips, and what to order, see our At.mosphere restaurant guide.

The Lounge — Floors 152–154 (World’s Highest Lounge)

The Lounge at Burj Khalifa occupies floors 152, 153, and 154 — reaching 585 metres and holding the Guinness World Record as the world’s highest lounge. It serves premium cocktails, mocktails, afternoon tea, and light bites with panoramic views. Live entertainment is featured on selected evenings. Reservations required; smart casual dress code. The Lounge is separate from the observation deck tickets — a reservation grants access to these floors independently.

What to Expect

The Lounge offers a more relaxed format than At.mosphere — it’s a cocktail bar and lounge with premium food options rather than a full fine-dining restaurant. The atmosphere is intimate and quiet, with the emphasis on the extraordinary height and the panoramic views. At 585 metres, it is 130 metres higher than At.mosphere and 30 metres above the floor 148 SKY observation deck.

Practical Details

  • Floors: 152–154
  • Height: Up to 585 metres (1,920 feet) — world’s highest lounge
  • Dress code: Smart casual minimum
  • Reservations: Required — book through the official Burj Khalifa website
  • Live entertainment: Selected evenings — check the schedule when booking

Burj Club — Floor 76 (Rooftop Restaurant & Social Venue)

Burj Club on floor 76 is a rooftop restaurant, bar, and social venue offering Dubai city views at a more accessible price point than At.mosphere or The Lounge. It serves international cuisine, cocktails, and light bites throughout the day and evening. The atmosphere is upscale casual — think smart brunch or dinner-out standard rather than formal fine dining. Smart casual dress code applies. Open daily 11 am to midnight.

What to Expect

Burj Club is the most accessible of the Burj Khalifa’s dining venues from a price perspective — the food and beverage offering is broader and less formal than At.mosphere. The floor 76 position still offers impressive views of Downtown Dubai and the surrounding cityscape, though from a lower elevation than the upper-floor venues. It’s a popular choice for groups, after-work gatherings, and visitors who want a rooftop dining experience without the fine-dining formality.

Practical Details

  • Floor: 76
  • Opening hours: Daily: 11:00 am – 12:00 midnight
  • Dress code: Smart casual — no shorts, flip-flops, or beachwear
  • Reservations: Recommended, particularly for evening and weekend visits
