Don't miss the official launch party of Dubai Marina's newest restaurant concept Atelier M on March 28, with a performance from the R&B star Lloyd, live PA from the US singer Bobby V and and appearance by the American singer and producer Jeremih. Lloyd's best internationally known track Dedication to My Ex (Miss That) - with a verse from Outkast's Andre 3000 and narration from Lil Wayne - placed at No 3 in the UK singles chart in 2011 and also reached No 1 in the UK R&B chart. The Italian DJ duo Neverdogs, who have had residencies in Ibiza at Space, Privelege and Zoo Project, will be on the decks keeping the guests dancing.
The Atelier M launch will double as a curtain raiser to the glamorous Dubai World Cup taking place the next day. Featuring a restaurant, lounge and rooftop terrace, Atelier M, which opened last month, is the brainchild of the chef Mohammed Islam. Islam, who's career includes stints at The Mercer in New York and the celebrity haunt Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, has created a chic, art deco venue overlaid with modern details and serves a menu of classic French cuisine with an Asian and Mediterranean twist, featuring dishes such as pistachio-crusted goat's cheese, butter-poached lobster, wagyu ribeye and sticky toffee pudding.
Atelier M's official opening party is on Friday, March 28 from 8pm to 3am, 7M Floor, Pier 7, Dubai Marina. For reservations call 04 450 7766 or visit www.atelierm.ae. Tables (of 10) start from Dh5,000.
