Dine at Dragonfly, The Lana Dubai
Inside the Michelin-recognised Japanese restaurant in Downtown Dubai
In the heart of Business Bay, Dragonfly at The Lana is one of Dubai’s most talked-about Japanese restaurants, and its place in the Michelin Guide speaks for itself. Now on Privilee, with an exclusive 20% Member rate on á la carte dining, it’s your spot for premium Japanese cuisine, crafted cocktails and evenings that feel a little more elevated. Think date nights, small celebrations or the simple “let’s treat ourselves” mood. Your new Michelin moment, ready when you are.
Late-night energy, done right
Dragonfly has that cool, moody atmosphere that Dubai does so well. Low lighting, red accents and a room full of people who know where to go for a good night. Effortlessly chic and never try hard.
On select nights, the music steps up with live DJs, giving the space a refined nightlife feel while keeping the focus on the food, drinks and conversation. It’s very easy to come for dinner and stay long after.
The look
Aesthetically, Dragonfly is a standout. Interiors blend modern Japanese influences with dramatic design, from dark textures and bold red notes to sculptural lighting and minimalist tableware that frames every dish. Confident and full of character.
Outside, the terrace is a complete scene. With close-up Burj Khalifa views, it’s one of Business Bay’s best spots for skyline dinners or slow drinks under the city lights. Perfect when you’re celebrating something or simply turning an ordinary evening into a moment.
What to order
Big flavours, premium ingredients and dishes that look as good as they taste. A few of our favourites:
Black cod
Miso butter and pickled daikon. Rich, silky and a Dragonfly signature.
Whole butterfly seabass
Truffle ponzu butter for depth. Fresh, light and impressive on the table.
Baby chicken
Teriyaki glaze with ginger-wasabi chimichurri. Comforting but still elevated.
Wagyu short rib
Sweet ginger soy and togarashi cashew. Tender, flavourful and a guaranteed crowd favourite.
Matcha molten cake
A warm, matcha-rich centre that stays with you long after the last bite.
Pair it all with something from their bar: signature cocktails, crisp sake or smoky Japanese whisky if you want to lean into the moment.
