Elevate your experiences with above Eleven Dubai: the ultimate destination for skyline views and culinary excellence
The highly anticipated Peruvian Japanese concept rises above the rest, captivating visitors with its palpable vibrance and exhilarating energy
Indulge in cuisine, cocktails, and a wealth of culture as you ascend to new heights. The much-awaited Above Eleven Dubai has transformed into a thriving hub atop bustling Palm West Beach, infusing the Peruvian spirit with Japanese precision to create the ultimate Nikkei experience.
Drawing inspiration from its original Bangkok concept, born out of a desire to escape the cacophony of the vibrant party street Soi 11, the latest addition to Palm Jumeirah embraces lush green spaces, offering an oasis of serenity amidst the urban sprawl. As the sun sets, guests are invited to embark on a sensorial journey, where an urban jungle converges with a dynamic ambiance.
Every aspect of design, decor, cuisine, and libations resonates with the enthralling atmosphere of the venue. An expansive terrace provides unobstructed vistas of the city’s shimmering skyline, the iconic Arabian Gulf, and the awe-inspiring Ain Dubai – an unmatched trio that grants the finest panoramic views on the island. Much like its aesthetics, Above Eleven Dubai boasts boldness, vibrancy, and an irresistible charm that underscores the notion that life is indeed elevated.
Welcoming Peruvian Head Chef Luis Gavancho to his inaugural culinary venture in the Middle East, the delightfully unique Nikkei menu delivers an explosion of flavors and intricate techniques, artfully reimagined to harmonize with Dubai’s cosmopolitan ambiance and pay homage to Peru’s diverse culinary heritage. This upscale yet unpretentious concept presents distinctive dishes crafted from meticulously sourced, premium ingredients. The menu features made-to-order maki rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and an array of exquisite ceviche’s, including the Above Eleven creation composed of seabass, Above Eleven leche tigres milk, and crispy calamari, offering a harmonious interplay of textures and tastes.
But that’s only the beginning, as the extensive menu radiates Latin-American pride with a selection of Peruvian starters and tiraditos, with the hamachi truffle ponzu stealing the spotlight. Anticuchos encompass a range from chicken and black angus to octopus and portobello mushrooms, while Peruvian traditions are honored through dishes like arroz con pato, featuring boneless duck leg confit, and red snapper a lo macho. The robatayaki grill introduces a groundbreaking signature Patagonian toothfish, alongside captivating vegan-friendly options. Culminating the experience are indulgent desserts such as lava cake with lucuma sauce and matcha cheesecake paired with black sesame ice cream.
With a dynamic lineup of live entertainment spanning the week, a retractable roof ensuring alfresco delight year-round, and a dedicated terrace bar crafting curated cocktails that stay true to the theme, Above Eleven Dubai embodies the essence of embracing the night’s allure. Savor refreshing notes of pink yuzu, lotus root, lemongrass, and handcrafted Peruvian bitter, all while enjoying front-row seats to Dubai’s breathtaking skyline.
The venue accommodates up to 270 guests, accessible through a stone maze entry that leads to three main areas: the dining room, lounge and terrace, and sushi bar. Interiors mesmerize with vibrant hues and an innovative fusion of foliage-covered ceilings, Aztec-art-stained mirrors, and banana leaf trees that seamlessly bring the outdoors in through floor-to-ceiling windows. The juxtaposition of bronze and brick elements results in a harmonious blend that echoes exuberance and urban vitality.
Above Eleven Dubai beckons with an escape from the ordinary, offering legendary sights, delectable bites, and captivating sounds during each visit – truly the embodiment of an elevated experience, both literally and figuratively.
