The Russian Soul Comes Alive in Dubai: Inside Chalet Berezka on Palm Jumeirah

Ganzhina Maibalieva & Evgeny Belogorlov

Often known as the “residence of the Russian soul” in the Middle East, Chalet Berezka is a destination for those who seek a heady mix of a cultural immersion, a spirited celebration, and a sensory feast all at once.

Step inside Chalet Berezka and you’ll instantly transport through time and tradition. Located atop the West Rooftop of Nakheel Mall on Palm Jumeirah, Chalet Berezka is where Russian culinary heritage, contemporary entertainment and an unmistakable sense of soul converge to create one of Dubai’s most vibrant nightlife experiences.

The menu is an ode to Russia’s rich culinary legacy – you can start your journey with the Kamchatka Crab Clusters, delicately wrapped in spicy mayonnaise and garlic butter, or savour the perfectly seared Wagyu Beef Tenderloin, served alongside triple-cooked potatoes and the house’s signature pepper sauce. Every dish is crafted with finesse, using the finest ingredients.

To complement the flavours, the cocktail programme dives deep into the heart of Russian folklore. The Moroshka Gimlet evokes the sweetness of northern berries, while the Rhubarb Strawberry and Berezka Margarita surprise with bold, refreshing notes. House-made infusions add a bespoke edge, ensuring the bar experience is as memorable as the dining menu.

As night dawns upon the Palm, Chalet Berezka transforms – from an elegant dinner setting to a dynamic, immersive performance space. Live music, theatrical showcases and electric dance acts set the stage for an evening of energy and imagination. For inclined to sing,  interactive karaoke nights offer a chance to be part of the experience.

The venue itself is intimate and expansive, offering luxurious VIP lounges, a hookah corner for quiet indulgence and the icing on the cake is the panoramic terrace view overlooking Palm Jumeirah.

Whether it’s an evening of fine dining, a high-spirited celebration, or a night of dancing under the glitzy starry skies, Chalet Berezka adapts to the moment.
