For those staying at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai or visiting the city, no trip is complete without a visit to the award-winning Estiatorio Milos. It is recognised as one of the world's finest Greek restaurants, which is, of course, expected, considering the mind behind it is restaurateur Costas Spiliadis, who is credited with introducing high-end Hellenic food, wine and hospitality from Greece to North America.
Spiliadis is celebrated for his ‘meticulous gastronomy’ and for honouring the purity and simplicity of ingredients, and you can truly see that in Milos' philosophy, from the plating to the decor and of course, the meal.
Guests can actually choose their fish from the fish displayEstiatorio Milos
Beyond the delicious food, what stands out is the 'fish market' which greets you on arrival. This is where guests can actually choose their fish from the fish display and have it prepared in one of the five different ways - grilled, salt, crusted, raw, fried or ahisto. The restaurant also features a bar and lounge area, two private dining rooms and of course, offers breathtaking views over The Palm and the Dubai Marina Skyline.
"Estiatorio Milos Dubai represents the pinnacle of authentic Greek cuisine, sourcing the freshest fish and produce daily from Greece to deliver unmatched quality and flavour. Beyond our exceptional ingredients, it is the embodiment of philoxenia, the genuine Greek hospitality that my team and I meticulously cultivate to deliver an extraordinary and memorable experience for every guest. This unwavering commitment to excellence and warmth forms the cornerstone of Estiatorio Milos Dubai’s enduring success and reputation," Eleftherios Michelis, General Manager, Estiatorio Milos at Atlantis The Royal, told us in an exclusive interaction.
