As the cooler winter weather breezes across the city, the temperature at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach has lifted with the much-anticipated unveiling of the Mercury Rooftop.
Guests are invited to enter a world of celestial charm, enveloped in a glamorous and sensational ambience. Renowned as the smallest and innermost planet of the solar system, Mercury also paid homage to the chemical element; enticing evenings that are fluid, suggestive and alive.
As the sun sets over the city, Mercury Rooftop will come alive and invite all to revel under the stars, embracing incredible 180-degree views overlooking the sparkling Dubai skyline, as well as the Burj Khalifa sparkling high in the sky and the glistening Arabian Gulf in the moonlight on the other side. As the evening evolves, the pulse of Mercury beats even louder, stirring a seductive energy, aroused by world-class DJs, electric live music, and sophisticated glamour.
The cosmic wonder continues, with an ethereal aesthetic that exudes a wanderlust vibe – with new colours alluding to its planetary roots, bold and chic soft furnishings, immersive dining tables, as well as relaxed lounge seating and hidden cabanas for intimate dining and revelry experiences.
Offering a striking canvas for creative cocktails and seasonal sharing dishes, the dazzling terrace serves a curated menu with a focus on nibbles that are light and enhance one’s appetite for the night ahead, while still erupting with flavour. Highlights from the Crudo Menu include sublime Beluga Caviar, served with an array of accoutrements, decadently fresh French Oysters, and tantalising Wild Sea Bass Ceviche, with Spicy Leche De Tigre, Mango Purée, Dill Oil and Crispy Squid Ink Tapioca.
Diners can also indulge in a spectacular array of artfully prepared sushi dishes, including intricate Crispy Tuna Maki, melt-in-the-mouth Sashimi Platters, and delightful Dragon Maki rolls. Delicately battered Tempura Prawns with homemade Guacamole and fresh lime will delight the tastebuds, while the Mediterranean Octopus with baby potatoes, Datterino tomato, olives, anchovies, and parsley puree is a standout must-try dish.
Those looking for more indulgent options can choose from the vibrantly rich and creamy Saffron Lobster Risotto, classic and satisfying Black Angus Beef Sliders, stacked beautifully with dry aged cheddar cheese, tangy BBQ sauce, crispy bacon, and Mercury’s bespoke dressing. The Slow Cooked Beek Cheeks are succulent and satisfying, paired with mixed nuts, and Mexican mole, crowned with shavings of black truffle, and laced with truffle cream.
Mixology connoisseurs will be dazzled with Mercury Rooftop’s inventive and signature cocktails, accompanied by classic creations. Mixologists have developed each component to expertly craft the alchemy of a perfect tipple, stirring, muddling, and shaking to create the finest flavours, textures and magical aromas that will satisfy the senses.
Whether sipping cocktails under the stars or dancing to the rhythm of the city, Mercury Rooftop promises an unforgettable night of entertainment that will keep guests coming back for more, with enigmatic live music every night of the week. On Thursdays, the lounge transforms into a musical haven with a captivating duo performance featuring talented violinists, creating a mesmerizing fusion of sound and style. And when the weekend arrives, guests will be mesmerised by the dulcet tones of a live singer, serenading all with soulful tunes and sweet melodies every Sunday.
