The doors are open, the table is set, and the drinks are flowing - we're ready to welcome you to Studio Frantzén!
Yesterday, Thursday the 31st of October, Atlantis, The Palm excitingly welcomed the social dining and bar concept, Studio Frantzén. Marking Björn Frantzén’s debut in the Middle East, the restaurant will offer the Swedish chef’s critically acclaimed French-Asian gastronomy with Nordic influences, all set within a modern Scandinavian environment of effortless luxury. And we were all about it!
In fact, Studio Frantzén will be the first of two restaurant launches by Björn Frantzén in the Middle East.
Embrace the vibrant interiors! The restaurant boasts an atrium adorned with chandeliers and a dining room featuring cozy booths, as well as a private dining room that accommodates up to 14 guests. At the 20-seat open kitchen, diners can enjoy a front-row view of culinary mastery in action. For those seeking a late-night drink, the 40-seat bar offers a selection of Nordic-oriented cocktails and spirits crafted with premium Nordic ingredients, such as rhubarb, sea buckthorn and blueberries.
Meanwhile, wine enthusiasts can explore the cellar, which houses over 1,300 labels, ranging from boutique producers, and internationally acclaimed labels from 15 countries to Dubai firsts. With a resident DJ playing from Wednesday to Saturday every week, guests can look forward to arriving early and leaving late at this soon-to-be hotspot.
Taking inspiration from Frantzén’s open-flame kitchen in Stockholm, Studio Frantzén will serve both new and signature dishes ‘from the fireplace’, with ingredients sourced globally from locations such as Norway, Japan, and France.
Highlights include Côte de Boeuf and smoked bone marrow with pine, rock lobster with coriander, curry, and brown-butter hollandaise, as well as the chef’s signature turbot with butter sauce, anchovy, caviar, and dill. A first for Studio Frantzén, guests will also be able to indulge in the interactive dessert room. Adorned in the brand’s colourful bear print, diners can choose from a selection of sweet treats, including cloudberry and waffles, lime and sake tart with whipped young coconut cream, and sticky toffee pudding.
So Dubai, whether it’s an after-hours escape, an evening rendezvous, or a special moment, Studio Frantzén's decadent French-Asian gastronomy sets the scene for any celebration. And their cocktails? They’ll make your night one to remember.
So step in and write your own Studio Frantzén story.
