Even In Dubai, NAHATÉ Is An Over-The-Top Dining And Entertainment Spot
Gate Building, Trade Centre area in front of DIFC In November 2024, co-founders Sam Flerentsev and Jenya Makeevva opened Nahate. This family-run fine dining restaurant in Dubai, with a cocktail bar, nightclub and private membership club, may be unrivaled in its opulence. Dubai is one of the top ten most visited cities in the world, attracting both leisure and business international travelers from across the globe. Known for its striking architecture, significant role in trade and finance, and rich cultural heritage, the city's reputation for luxury and extravagance has also made it a major draw for tourists. Nahate motto: More Than Home Nahate raises the bar in terms of sophisticated gourmet dining and captivating entertainment venues. Deriving its name from the Russian word that means 'home,' this joyful venue was created as a love letter by the founders, an expression of their shared journey. Spanning the entire third floor of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), this sanctuary features the lavish restaurant, two membership-only spaces, and the world's first Jacob & Co. Cigar Lounge. From Thursday to Saturday, the space transforms into a vibrant nightspot with entertainment with views of the Dubai skyline. .

The jungle-themed decor in the dining room has spiritual totems and hand-drawn animal artwork, including tigers and leopards, that tell a story. Custom-made fabrics with detailed embroidery and bespoke furnishings are used throughout. The co-creators call their design approach 'jungle meets jewel box,' hoping guests experience the ambiance of spending time with friends at a luxury private estate. In the Red Room, a custom Baccarat chandelier descends over a signature Chef's Table, making it a sculptural element in the private dining room. It seats 16 guests who are surrounded by walls covered in creamy, neutral tones of faux suede (which also helps dampen the sound) with rich red acceents.

Earlier this month, it auctioned what has been called the most expensive cocktail in the world for 37,500€ ($41,160 USD). The cocktail, crafted and served by celebrated bartender Salvatore 'The Maestro' Calabrese, was made with a custom blend of PATRÓN tequila that combined three exceptional aged tequilas with now-extinct Kina Lillet from 1950 and Angostura Bitters from the 1930s. Celebrating the 260th anniversary of Baccarat, the drink was served in two rare 1937 Baccarat crystal glasses created for the 1937 International Exhibition of Arts and Techniques in Modern Life in Paris. The winning bidder was able to take home the exclusive ingredients and the Baccarat glassware.
