Underwater at the Atlantis

There is a reason why Ossiano Restaurant at the Atlantis – The Palm is by far one of the coolest places to propose.

We suggest you book a table right next to the aquarium for the most wow-worthy views. The service at this seafood restaurant is impeccable, and the food is as stunning as the surroundings.
