Sakhalin

Positioned along the pristine sands of J1 Beach in Jumeirah 1, Sakhalin Dubai captures the essence of its Russian island namesake by merging Mediterranean, Asian, and traditional Russian influences into a sophisticated seafood-focused destination. Led by Michelin-starred chef Vladimir Mukhin and executed by executive chef Alexey Vershinin, this beach club-restaurant hybrid delivers refined dining with a coastal twist, ideal for daytime relaxation or evening sophistication in Dubai’s sun-soaked Jumeirah scene.

Arrive at Sakhalin, and the design draws you in with clean white hues and neutral tones that promote a sense of calm amid the beachfront buzz. The indoor space features sleek marble counters and comfortable banquettes under soft lighting, providing a polished yet approachable setting for meals. Move outside to the expansive terrace, where tables overlook the Arabian Gulf and a central fountain under an illuminated roof installation that shimmers at night, enhancing the sea-view serenity. The beach club area offers sunbeds and direct water access, blending resort ease with upscale service. As evening approaches, the mood shifts gently with ambient music and occasional events, maintaining a balance of quiet elegance and subtle liveliness—suited for a family lunch, romantic dinner, or small group gathering by the waves.

The menu emphasizes fresh seafood from the Russian Far East, with creative MediterrAsian preparations that highlight quality ingredients, alongside a curated selection of wines and cocktails. Begin with the Sakhalin Spritz for AED 70, a light elderflower-yuzu blend with a saline edge, or the Kamchatka Negroni at AED 75, rye whiskey infused with sea buckthorn for a tart, herbal profile. From the raw bar, plump oysters with wasabi mignonette shine at AED 60 per piece, while King Crab Legs steamed and served with ponzu emulsion offer sweet brininess for AED 250. The Shuba Salad reimagines a Russian classic with layered beets, potatoes, carrots, and King Crab topped with quail egg and horseradish for AED 120—a cool, festive starter.

Sushi highlights include the Goldfish Roll at AED 180, featuring golden nori wrapped around bluefin toro, akami, truffle, and black caviar for a luxurious umami hit. Dim sum options like scallop siu mai with tobiko add a briny pop at AED 90 for six. Mains feature the Signature Lobster Roll for AED 220, butter-poached lobster and King Crab with unagi and avocado in sesame aioli on brioche—a decadent, textural favorite. The Whole Sea Bass, grilled with miso-ginger and fennel, arrives flaky and aromatic at AED 180. For red meat, the Marbled Wagyu Striploin seared rare with yukon gold puree and bordelaise reduction costs AED 380, providing a rich contrast to the seafood focus. Vegetarians can try the Truffled Cauliflower Steak with tahini-yogurt and pomegranate for AED 110, roasted for nutty depth.

Cap the meal with Sakhalin Tiramisu at AED 65, a signature twist on the classic with coffee caviar elements for an innovative, indulgent close.
