The Cullinan
For the evening you want to dress for: a steakhouse inside Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, a meat sommelier, and a menu that names the producer of every cut.

Why go
For the dinner where the occasion matters as much as the steak, The Cullinan sits on the first floor of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, the resort facing the Burj Al Arab, with a terrace whose view takes in the sail-shaped hotel, the Gulf and the city skyline. FoodFund International, the family group behind The Meat Co, opened it in spring 2025 and built it around a meat sommelier who helps you choose among 25 steaks, with a wine sommelier for the pairing. The menu reads like a list of producers rather than cuts, which makes it easy for a table to taste across countries: Japanese A5, Australian full-blood wagyu, long-fed Angus and two grass-fed fillets from New Zealand and Tasmania.
What to order
Saroma A5 wagyu ribeye, 300 g / 11 oz
Mayura Station fillet, 250 g / 9 oz
