Tan Cha is an all-round immersive experience offering the dishes of provincial China with a contemporary twist. Perfectly blending the urban energy of downtown Hong Kong with the luxury and elegance of Dubai, it offers a truly unique dining experience in the heart of Dubai's Business Bay.
Located in the JW Marriott Marquis building, Tan Cha aims to offer a one-of-a-kind sensory dining experience through the combination of its food, décor, and music. The interior combines the opulent and the raw, drawing contrasts between raw materials and wallpaper decorated in Chinese artistic styles. Guests enter through an immersive portal which leads to a dark, electrifying space filled with Asian finishes and intense neon beams which illuminate the roof and cast a futuristic glow over the space. The venue also boasts a first-floor terrace overlooking the Dubai canal, offering excellent views of Dubai.
Here you can find the essence of cool. The atmosphere is intense, hedonistic and clubby; be sure to visit on the weekend, when you can listen and dance to sets by some of Tan Cha's own in-house DJs.
Tan Cha’s menu offers innovative takes on traditional Chinese dishes, with plenty of options for the gastronomically adventurous. Fresh cucumber rolls are filled with black superior fungus, battered soft-shell crab is accompanied by wok-fried oatmeal instead of rice, juicy sheng cai juan pastry-wrapped prawn is topped with tangy white balsamic pearls.
And the authentic flavour profiles don’t stop there; the menu is comprehensive and offers a range of raw, dim sum, wok and siu mei. Plant-based eaters will be more than satisfied with the extensive list of vegan options made with plant-based OmniMeat. All dishes are prepared using modern techniques and served with interesting contemporary presentation.
Tan Cha also boasts a range of speciality signature cocktails, pairing nicely with their unique dishes.
