The Cullinan, the sophisticated steakhouse located in the iconic Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, continues to establish itself as one of the most prominent names on the city’s luxury dining scene. Officially opened in March 2025, the restaurant has captured the attention of the industry with a concept that combines premium products, highly specialised service and an aesthetic setting of great elegance.
Among the brand’s most recent milestones, The Cullinan was awarded the ‘Best Sundowner Spot’ prize by Hotel & Catering Middle East during The Big NightLife Awards 2025, a recognition that highlights its appeal as a privileged enclave for enjoying the sunset over the Arabian Gulf, with direct views of the Burj Al Arab.
The space also stands out for its carefully crafted interior design narrative, marked by a collaboration with de Gournay, a design house renowned for its hand-painted wallpapers. The artistic composition of the bar—with golden details and references to the sun and sea—is integrated into a whole that celebrates the venue’s connection to water and local heritage, also visible in its Wine Wall, crafted with artisanal touches and traditional techniques such as Talli embroidery.
In culinary terms, The Cullinan articulates its identity around a selection of high-quality meats, seafood and seasonal produce, guided by a meat sommelier in the dining room and accompanied by a wine list curated by its sommelier. The experience is completed by one of the largest open kitchens in the United Arab Emirates, where every detail is crafted by hand and in-house, from the bread to the main courses.
Open daily from 12 noon to 2 a.m., The Cullinan expands its offering with an elegant bar and lounge, designed for discreet gatherings and contemporary-inspired cocktails, reaffirming its ambition to become a new icon of gastronomic luxury in Dubai.
