Why Studio Frantzén should be your next night out on the Palm
Looking for an out-of-the-ordinary dining experience? We know just the place to head to. With a playlist personally curated by the founder himself, a menu of bold French-Asian flavours, and a whole lot of personality, this modern European bistro from one of the most iconic chefs in the world, Björn Frantzén, the only chef alive with three restaurants awarded three MICHELIN stars, redefines what dining out should feel like. Tucked away on The Palm, Studio Frantzén channels the spirit of a refined bistro with a playful edge. A glittering chandelier steals the spotlight, red chairs pop against crisp white tablecloths and every corner reveals a playful surprise. Here, dining moves to its own rhythm, making it just right for casual meet-ups, late night drinks with friends or a date night to remember. Look inside This spot is made for those who like to linger, with an exclusive bar and lounge, intimate booths, a chef's counter overlooking the open kitchen and a private dining room for moments that call for a bit more ceremony. And can we talk about the playlist? Featuring 300 handpicked songs by Björn himself, the music offers a mix of genres, from classic rock hits like Guns N' Roses to timeless tracks from The Smiths, creating the perfect background for an unforgettable evening. What's on the menu? The menu showcases bold French-Asian flavours and refined techniques that highlight pure ingredients, reflecting Björn Frantzén's culinary philosophy. Expect dishes that make the best of natural ingredients but with unexpected touches. Think baby chicken with miso beurre blanc and burnt hay oil, or a Caesar salad that swaps the usual chicken for guinea fowl, adds pine nuts, and throws in a little miso togarashi to keep things interesting. Even the sides come from the fireplace, so there's warmth in every bite. Want a grape to pair your decadent meal with? Let the sommelier select the perfect match from a cellar boasting over 1,800 labels. Whereas, the mixed drinks bring bold character for those seeking something different. Weekend lunches And if you're in the mood for a proper weekend wind-down (or wind-up, depending on your energy), their Luncheon happens every Saturday and Sunday from 12.30pm to 4pm. It's Dhs195 for the set menu of two courses and a side. If you fancy pairing it with two hours of free-flowing beverages, simply top up for Dhs225. Click here to peruse the menu. You'll be choosing between dishes like grilled prawns with lacto fermented red curry dressing and ginger aioli or a summery artichoke and grilled green asparagus plate with pea miso and pistachios. Grape lovers, take note Experience The Hidden Cellar, where head sommelier Ognjen Samardzic hosts an intimate monthly dinner in the private dining room, featuring a curated selection from over 1,800 labels and a thoughtfully prepared menu for just fourteen guests. The event is usually announced during the first week of each month. This intimate grape dinner experience is Dhs1,200 per person and the latest one is happening on Wednesday May 28, from 7.30pm. We'll see you there? Make a reservation now: Open Mon-Fri 6pm-1am; Sat-Sun noon-4pm, 6pm-1am. Weekend lunch: 12.30pm-4pm. Atlantis, The Palm, Palm Jumeirah
