There are restaurants that invite you on an unforgettable culinary journey. Amelia Restaurant & Lounge, perched high above Downtown Dubai at Address Sky View, is one of them. With the return of its much-loved evening brunch, First Flight, the restaurant once again invites guests to discover its distinctive Japanese-Peruvian cuisine with Mediterranean influences through a thoughtfully curated tasting experience, where every course is part of a carefully crafted story.

Inspired by the spirit of discovery, First Flight takes diners on a seamless culinary journey, where every course has been thoughtfully composed to complement the next. Rooted in creativity and precision, the menu combines bold flavours, refined techniques and artistic presentation, all set within Amelia's distinctive retro-futuristic interiors.

Designed for sharing, the experience unfolds through a carefully balanced selection of starters, signature creations, mains and desserts, with each course reflecting the restaurant's culinary philosophy. Priced at AED 225 per person, it offers an excellent introduction to Amelia's most recognisable dishes in a format that is both approachable and refined.

Guests looking to elevate the experience can opt for the First Flight with Wine Pairing at AED 425 per person. The carefully selected premium wines complement the progression of flavours, enhancing every course without overshadowing the cuisine.

The menu highlights a vibrant selection of dishes, from the refreshing Dorada Coco ceviche and the beautifully presented Saki Cono de Tacos to signature favourites from La Firma de Amelia, including Rollo de Pollo, Bacalao Nero and the restaurant's acclaimed Wagyu Empanadas. The journey continues with satisfying mains such as the Machu Picchu MB5 Wagyu Tenderloin or Pollo Asado, before ending with elegant desserts, including Pelota de Chocolat and Miso Banana Cake. Together, the courses create a balanced progression of flavours and textures that keeps the experience engaging from beginning to end.

With panoramic views over Downtown Dubai and Amelia's signature steampunk-inspired interiors providing the backdrop, First Flight is about more than the food. The atmosphere, music and design come together to create a memorable dining experience that is as visually captivating as it is gastronomically rewarding.

Whether for an intimate dinner or a stylish evening with friends, First Flight offers a fresh way to experience Amelia – one that celebrates creativity, craftsmanship and the pleasure of sharing exceptional food.
