Bold flavours, skyline views and a seasonal menu that redefines celebration
With the holidays around the corner, Akira Back sets the stage for an indulgent, festive experience that captures Dubai’s celebratory spirit. Its vibrant dining scene, with bold flavours, artful presentation, and stylishly decorated spaces, creates the perfect backdrop for the year’s most memorable gatherings.
Set on the upper levels of W Dubai – The Palm, the restaurant blends modern Japanese and Korean influences with global creativity, all shaped by the culinary vision of Michelin-recognised Chef Akira Back. The Dubai outpost, led by Chef Giovanni Ledon, has earned a place in the Michelin Guide four years in a row, praised for its originality, execution and ability to turn dinner into an experience that moves far beyond the plate.
For the festive season, Akira Back introduces a limited-time Festive Omakase, available nightly throughout December. It is a celebration of winter ingredients, indulgent flavours and the distinctive artistry behind Akira Back’s signature dishes.
A Seasonal Menu With Signature Akira Back Personality
The Festive Omakase showcases seasonal flavours with Akira Back’s unmistakable flair. The menu opens with dishes that immediately signal the season, like the Wagyu Tenderloin served with a cranberry infused jus that adds a sharp festive note to the richness of the meat. The Foie Gras Croquette arrives next with its crisp exterior, soft centre and a drizzle of spiced acacia honey that gives the dish warmth and depth. Dessert shifts the mood into something softer, with Poached Pear and spiced boricha ice cream creating a light, fragrant finish that keeps the celebration grounded in the flavours of the season. Each course builds on the last, creating a curated experience that feels expressive, captivating and perfectly suited to December evenings on the Palm with stunning skyline views.
A Setting That Shapes the Night
Dining at Akira Back always comes with an atmosphere….
The restaurant’s striking lighting, curved architecture and floor-to-ceiling windows create a setting that feels both cinematic and inviting . Outside, the Palm Jumeirah and city skyline provide a panoramic backdrop that enhances the entire experience. The terrace becomes a standout spot in December, with cooler weather making it one of the most sought-after dining views on the island.
Inside, music, design and movement work together to create the feeling of an evening that builds from the first course to the last. It feels vibrant from the moment you arrive, with the festive mood adding an extra layer of excitement to Akira Back’s signature style.
A Festive Celebration Designed for Sharing
Whether enjoyed with friends, a partner, visiting family or colleagues, the Festive Omakase is built for those looking to mark the season with something memorable.
