Reply to "Dubai restaurants revel in luxury; here are its 10 most decadent"

7. Enigma

Theatrics and incredible food star at Enigma, a newly opened venue in the luxurious Palazzo Versace Dubai which is creating a real buzz.
Chefs change every four months, bringing with them set menus that are revealed on the night.
First there was Quique Dacosta (whose Spanish restaurant has three Michelin stars) whipping up smoking truffle creations.
Until June 20, 2016 it's Bjorn Frantzen (famed for the fine-dining Restaurant Frantzen, which was awarded two Michelin stars after only two years of operation) with a 12-course Nordic-inspired tasting menu.
Dishes are elaborate, decadent and incredibly creative.
Meals can take upwards of three hours.
For extra indulgence, cocktails can be grabbed on the column-lined terrace while the sun sets over the Dubai Creek.
"It's essentially a pop-up in a five-star deluxe hotel with chefs changing four times a year," says Samantha Wood, founder of restaurant review website foodiva.net.
Credit card max-out: The "full story" 12-course tasting menu costs $231 at weekends.
Worth the splurge: The beautifully presented scallop in its own shell served with dried roe on a bed of a fir tree (not priced individually).
