A famous rooftop restaurant with unforgettable views

DRW
This contemporary restaurant with Far Eastern accents is perched up on the 54th floor of the Address Sky View and deservedly dazzles the culinary crowd. CÉ LA VI is one of Asia's most well-known rooftop venues, and its Dubai incarnation has suitably breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa from the pool deck. Head chef, Howard Ko, has more than 11 years of experience at Michelin starred restaurants so comes with stellar credentials. The menu has a mix of Asian inspired plates as well as international favourites that he puts his own distinctive touch to. The setting and cuisine together make for a spot that screams special occasion.
