Buffet Dining at the Atlantis Hotels in Dubai

A hotel buffet in Dubai is a great way to experience the city's famous hotels from the inside without staying in them. At the two Atlantis hotels on Palm Jumeirah, the buffet is a real event: dozens of live-cooking stations and cuisines from around the world. On this page we've gathered the two buffet dinners you can book today, each in a different style.

Saffron at Atlantis The Palm is the hotel's flagship buffet. It has over 220 dishes and 20 live-cooking stations, with an emphasis on Southeast Asian cuisine, Indian cuisine and seafood. According to the hotel's website, dinner is served daily from 18:00 to 22:00, and some evenings have a theme, such as a seafood night. The ticket includes soft drinks, valet parking and entry to the Ambassador Lagoon aquarium.

Gastronomy at Atlantis The Royal, Atlantis's newer hotel on the Palm, is built like a food market. According to the hotel's website and Time Out Dubai, it has 17 live-cooking stations, an oyster bar, a bakery pulling warm bread straight from the oven, and a kitchen built on fresh, farm-sourced ingredients. Dinner is served daily from 18:00 to 22:00, on the hotel's ground floor, and suits all ages.

How to choose? If you love Asian and Indian food and want to combine it with an aquarium visit, choose Saffron. If you're after a modern food-market atmosphere, with an oyster bar and a bakery, and want to see Atlantis The Royal from the inside, choose Gastronomy. Each one has its own page on our site with all the details.

Both buffets are served in the evening, between 18:00 and 22:00, and suit the whole year. Anyone looking for a particular cuisine can choose a day according to Saffron's theme nights, and we will confirm the evening's theme for you when booking. At weekends and on public holidays it is busy, and it is worth booking a few days ahead.
