It's 11:40pm on a Thursday and you want more than a hotel club sandwich. On most of the Palm the kitchens have long gone dark — but a handful of rooftops, beach lounges and late dining rooms are only hitting their stride. These are the best late night Palm Jumeirah restaurants for 2026, where a proper meal, a DJ and a skyline view are all still on the table after midnight.
We've ranked by how late the kitchen actually serves, the after-dark atmosphere, and whether the food keeps up with the night. Prices are per person before service.

What to orderBest for: Dinner that becomes a rooftop night out. Skip if: An early, quiet meal.
