Why Zenon's terrace is one of the coolest alfresco dining spots in the city

Sponsored: Sure, the interiors are impressive, but its terrace might even be a little cooler…

Located at Kempinski Central Avenue, futuristic dining destination Zenon quickly garnered foodie fame within months of opening last year. And it’s not hard to see why. It’s a gastronomy project that aligns the orbits of art and science, creating an immersive dining experience unlike any other in Dubai.

Living in Zen…

And now with the temperatures climbing down from those wild summer highs, the Zenon terrace offers new dimensions of sophisticated luxury. It’s been enhanced with a high-tech integrated cooling system – so even with the autumn humidity, you can still enjoy the comfort of a refreshing AC breeze.

The terrace is also where you’ll be able to enjoy a rich range of premium shisha. Choose from blends of Arabic, Turkish, German, and Russian tobaccos with flavours such as grape, double apple, watermelon, and mango, enhanced with refreshing mint and exotic spices.

…On the menu

Executive Chef Lorenzo Buccarini, along with the culinary wizards Thomas Papas and Tatsuya Ueda, have crafted a menu that’s a mash-up of Mediterranean flair and Asian finesse. You can explore a scintillating starter collection that includes usuzukuri with soy yuzu sauce and chili mayo; there’s a river-fresh salmon carpaccio; Greek salad that loudly screams summer; and their ever-popular wagyu tartare that’s been given the golden Dubai treatment of smoked egg yolk and black truffle bindings.
