About us

Experience the fusion of tradition and innovation at Virgin Izakaya, a modern Japanese restaurant on Bluewaters Island.

Here, culinary artistry meets creative flair as chefs bring dishes to life at the robata grill — blending authentic techniques with bold, contemporary style.

A Celebration of Flavour and Craft

Savour the purity of sashimi, the smoky allure of kushiyaki, and the rich flavours of robata-grilled specialities. The bar invites you to explore a refined selection of wines, handcrafted cocktails, and rare sake — each reflecting Japanese precision and modern imagination.

A Design-Led Dining Destination

Inspired by Tokyo nightlife and minimalist Japanese design, Virgin Izakaya offers a vibrant, design-led space for every occasion — from relaxed lunches to skyline-lit evenings. The specious terrace is perfect for open-air social moments. It’s a bold reimagining of modern Japanese dining in Dubai, where authenticity meets innovation and every visit becomes a sensory journey.
