Taking you across the country on a voyage that celebrates fashion, art, food, cinema and culture… 

If you like your dinner with a side of futuristic projections and 360-degree immersive digital theatre, then you’ll want to snag a seat at the new Immersive Chef’s Table at Rockfish.

The seafood restaurant on the shorefront of Jumeirah Al Naseem has transformed its private dining room into a 12-seater immersive dinner show, presenting a five-course menu that celebrations Italian mastery. Curated by Rockfish’s executive chef Andrea Brugnetti, the menu traverses Italy’s great culinary regions, celebrating the country’s fashion, art, cinema and cultural greats through taste, sight, touch, sound and smell.

From October 15, there are two seatings each evening, the first at 6.30pm, with dinner served from 7pm, and the second at 8.30pm, with dinner served at 9pm. Each seating takes roughly 90 minutes.

The five-course menu is priced at Dhs1,000 per person, or Dhs1,500 with either an alcoholic or non-alcoholic pairing.
