Sakhalin · Restaurant · Dubai
Russian Far East seafood with Mediterranean and Asian influences at J1 Beach.
Sakhalin occupies a stretch of J1 Beach in Jumeirah, a seafood dining room turned to the Arabian Gulf with the water directly in view. The open-plan room seats up to 150 guests, built around a central bar finished in veined stone, with layered lighting from recessed fixtures and pendants that carries the room after dark.
A beach club with sunbeds and direct water access extends the day, connecting straight through to the dining room so the afternoon slides into a more polished evening as the crowd moves from loungers to tables.
Executive Chef Alexey Vershinin runs the kitchen under Vladimir Mukhin, brand chef of the White Rabbit Family group, building the menu on Russian Far East seafood with Mediterranean and Asian inflections. The raw bar leads with a Sakhalin tartare assortment of crab, tuna and salmon, and a Catalan-style salad built around king crab. Rolls include the Truffle roll, with crab, sea bass, aioli and black truffle, and the Signature lobster roll of lobster, king crab, eel, avocado, tobiko and sesame.
Mains run from wagyu beef in ponzu sauce with black truffle to a Russian borscht with beef and sour cream and a rotation of whole sea bass. Finish with the Tiramisu Sakhalin. Dress is elegant or smart casual, and beachwear is not permitted in the dining room.
