Sexy Fish
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

A fantasia of underwater glamour, Sexy Fish Dubai drenches DIFC in iridescent allure—where Damien Hirst sculptures, cascading coral hues, and a shimmering bar set the stage for showstopping Asian-inspired cuisine. Sexy Fish + Dubai makes a dramatic case for destination dining, pairing skyline views with high-fashion theatrics and late-night energy. Expect precision sushi, robata fire, and playful luxury—an indulgent, camera-ready experience that feels unapologetically exclusive.
The Story & Heritage
Born in London’s Mayfair under Richard Caring’s Caprice Holdings, Sexy Fish has become a global icon of high-gloss dining, marrying art-world spectacle with a pan-Asian sensibility. The Dubai outpost channels the original’s flamboyance while embracing the city’s taste for scale and sparkle. The culinary ethos is grounded in premium sourcing, Japanese technique, and shareable decadence, elevated by a world-class bar program. While not a Michelin-starred concept, Sexy Fish has garnered international acclaim for its design pedigree, celebrity magnetism, and audacious hospitality—evolving into a marquee name for travelers seeking nightlife-meets–fine dining in the Middle East.
The Cuisine & Menu
The menu celebrates contemporary Asian cuisine with a strong Japanese backbone—think sashimi luxuriously cut, precise nigiri, and robata-grilled treasures—balanced by bold Southeast Asian accents. Signatures might include Crispy Duck Salad with pomegranate and pine nut miso; Black Cod with yuzu kosho and caramelised miso; Wagyu Kushiyaki brushed with tare; and Spicy Tuna Tartare with lotus root. The sushi selection leans premium and seasonal, complemented by playful warm plates and large-format seafood meant for sharing. Expect à la carte ordering alongside curated set menus; a sommelier-led sake and wine program invites pairing. Vegetarian and gluten-aware options are available, positioning this firmly within the fine dining category with an ultra-premium edge for top-tier selections.
Experience & Atmosphere
Ride a glass lift to a submerged dreamscape: a dimly lit room that mimics a seabed, glinting with aquatic sculptures, lacquered textures, and a dramatic reef-toned palette. A Damien Hirst octopus greets on arrival; the terrace frames iconic Dubai views; even the bathrooms invite a selfie moment. Service is polished yet high-energy, designed for an evening that flows from dinner to late-night. The bar is a destination unto itself—expect rare Japanese whiskies, inventive cocktails, and an expert sommelier guiding wine and sake. Private dining and semi-private nooks accommodate celebratory gatherings, with a smart-elegant dress code. Reservations are essential, particularly for prime weekend slots and balcony seating.
Closing & Call-to-Action
Choose Sexy Fish Dubai for a night where gastronomy, art, and nightlife collide—perfect for discerning diners who crave spectacle with substance. Reserve two to three weeks ahead for terrace views or peak weekend energy; earlier weekday bookings suit those seeking a slightly quieter scene. Consider securing sommelier pairings or a large-format seafood showpiece for the table, and arrive early for cocktails—the room was designed to be seen.
