FZN by Björn Frantzén
Restaurant of the Year · 2025

Dubai · UAE — Björn Frantzén

FZN

Of every table we sat at this year, one delivered the most complete experience from the first pour to the last bite. This is why FZN by Björn Frantzén is our Restaurant of the Year 2025.

[ Buraya kendi yazını koy. ] High inside Atlantis The Palm, FZN is Frantzén's most ambitious room yet — a three-act, multi-hour journey that moves through lounge, kitchen and table, blurring the line between meal and performance without ever tipping into spectacle for its own sake.

What sets it apart isn't a single dish. It's the choreography: the way each course, room and pour is timed so precisely that three hours pass like one. Nordic discipline, Japanese precision, a city built on ambition — somehow it all belongs on the same plate.

Why it wins

Restaurant of the Year isn't about the most Michelin stars or the longest waitlist. It's the table we most want to sit at again. FZN earns it on completeness — food, room, service and feeling, all at the same altitude.
