Inside Apollo, Palm Jumeirah's newest modern bistro concept
Say hello to Apollo – the latest in the recent stint of foodie openings in Dubai. Nestled by the waters of Palm Jumeirah in Palm Views West, this is a modern, all-day bistro serving up contemporary, inventive flare and that kind of cool, casual vibe that's all the rage in Dubai right now. Casual dining is an entire niche of it's own, an incoming renaissance of sorts after the tidal wave that was the 'luxury' restaurant. We all know them – fancy interiors with insane installations and hard-to-see lighting, gold-leaf-covered sushi and burrata on the menu, and an empty wallet by the end of the experience. Apollo brings a unique, fresh approach to the dining scene of Dubai – conceptualised by independent hospitality giants TABLE4TWO, the brains behind beloved homegrown concepts and Dubai originals like Rascals Deli, 'Za 'Za Slice, Rascals Bakehouse, and Dime Burger. The concept of Apollo is designed to follow the natural rhythm of the city, moving and flowing with Dubai's body clock, be it rushed business lunches, languid weekend breakfasts or long dinners. It transforms from day to night, but the energy remains the same. The interiors, designed in collaboration with Muqaddas Akkari Studio (MA Studio), combine the raw textures of patterned velvet sofas and rich wood textures with the soft tones of deep burgundy walls and moody lighting to create a space that is comfortable, and timeless. Clean lines, space-y silhouettes and a sort of stripped-down vision to it that is so popular in Dubai these days – the exposed vents, the barebones walls, the floor-to-ceiling windows. The whole space exudes a sort of retro cool, with minimal art and tasteful introductions of colour. On the menu, you can sample classic and comfort dishes like ceviche classico, Asian chicken salad, prawn sesame toast, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Peruvian grilled octopus, clam linguine, chicken pot pie, duck confit with arroz nikkei, Apollo burger with dry aged wagyu and caramelised pop-corn ice cream.

The latest transformation is all about flames and fire-fuelled flavours, drawing inspiration from global classics and pairing it with a Dubai story. Located in the brand new Nad Al Sheba Mall, the space offers, a sleek, minimal experience, stripped down to bare brown tiles, smooth wooden furniture, low yellow lighting and the centre of all the action – the exposed grill, firing up your dishes for you. The grilled varieties come from all parts of the world, incorporating Asian and Middle Eastern influences – perhaps the hotbeds of open-flame cooking.

Everything is bold, refreshing, rich and packs an indulgent punch. What's new?

It's the perfect day-to-night transformation, much like ATB's other concepts – The Kitchen by Around The Block in Wasl 51, and TŌRI at Al Khawaneej Walk, turning into a modern Japanese eatery in a Cinderella-esque fashion.

27th Bangkok Festivals: A World-Class Spectacle in Thailand
Experience the legendary 'Plácido Domingo' live in Thailand for the first time—alongside an Indian epic, dazzling Chinese ballet, operas, and jaw-dropping acrobatics Tickets Now Available! BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 June 2025 – Get ready for a world-class spectacle like no other—right here in Thailand. Bangkok's 27th International Festival of Dance & Music is making a grand comeback, bringing 14 stunning performances from over 10 countries across the globe. This year's lineup is nothing short of legendary—with the Thai debut of Plácido Domingo, the iconic opera superstar. And that's just the beginning. Brace yourself for Mahabharata: 18 Days, Dusk of an Era – an epic tale from India, A Dream of Red Mansions – breathtaking Chinese ballet, Tosca and Aida – powerful operatic masterpieces, dazzling Chinese acrobatics, a high-energy dance-meets-tech show from France and much more. The curtain rises from September 6 to October 15, 2025, at the Thailand Cultural Centre's Main Hall. Tickets go on sale June 14, with early bird discounts for one month and an exclusive 'Platinum Package' available for early access and exclusivity. ADVERTISEMENT A once-in-a-lifetime performance in Thailand, Plácido Domingo One of this year's monumental highlights, Plácido Domingo, the legendary opera icon and one of The Three Tenors, will perform in Thailand for the first and only time. With over 150 operatic roles in 4000 performances and 12 Grammy awards, Domingo has redefined opera for global audiences and remains one of the most influential figures in classical music history. This historic night becomes even more extraordinary as he shares the stage with two stars in classical music: Monica Conesa, the radiant American soprano captivating international stages, along with Beatrice Venezi, the groundbreaking Italian conductor hailed as one of the most powerful women in classical music. Together, they will create an unforgettable operatic masterpiece; this is more than a concert; it is a piece of musical history. India's epic Mahabharata comes to life in a dazzling contemporary spectacle For the first time in Thailand, audiences will witness the grandeur of the Mahabharata, India's greatest epic reimagined for the global stage. 'Mahabharata: 18 Days, Dusk of an Era' is a live, large-scale performance by Prabhat Arts International, founded in 1946, a renowned artistic institution known for breathing new life into ancient literature through modern artistic forms. This visually stunning production brings to life the 18-day war between the Pandavas and Kauravas, the cosmic clash of dharma (righteousness) versus adharma (unrighteousness) with a cast of over fifty performers. The show is a gripping infusion of Indian dance, drama and live dialogue with elaborate costumes brought out through levitation, aerial stunts, martial arts and immersive visual effects. ADVERTISEMENT Chinese classic reimagined: A Dream of Red Mansions by the National Ballet of China Also taking center stage is the breathtaking ballet interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of China, originally penned by Cao Xueqin in the 18th century. Often called 'a mirror of Qing Dynasty society,' the story remains one of the most poignant literary works in Chinese history. This year, the acclaimed National Ballet of China reinterprets the tale through the elegance of Western ballet, capturing themes of love, longing, and the inevitable decline of a noble family. More than eighty dancers will bring the tragic love triangle to life with expressive choreography and powerful stage presence. The production arrives in Bangkok with six full containers of set pieces, lighting, and lavish costumes from Beijing, an awe-inspiring fusion of Chinese storytelling and Western ballet tradition, delivered with grace and grandeur on a single stage. Russia's Samara Opera & Ballet Theatre kicks off the festival with 4 grand productions Get ready for an unforgettable second half of The Festival as Russia's prestigious Samara Opera & Ballet Theatre takes the stage in Bangkok with 4 spectacular productions.

The magic continues with a brand-new production of The Nutcracker made just for their visit to Thailand, Tchaikovsky's beloved Christmas ballet. Rounding off their lineup is the emotionally charged contemporary ballet Three Masks of the King, a dramatic reflection on power, identity, and the courage to embrace one's true self, showcasing the precision and grandeur of Russian ballet at its finest and the only theatre in the world who performs this ballet. Heart-stopping acrobatics and futuristic dance collide The excitement doesn't stop there. This year's festival brings high-octane energy and universal appeal with China National Acrobatic Troupe, performing in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Thai–Chinese diplomatic relations.
