Dubai’s thriving culinary scene is about to welcome a one-of-a-kind experience where fine art and cocktail craftsmanship converge. Ancora, the signature restaurant at InterContinental Residences Dubai Business Bay, has unveiled its Grand Atelier Masterclass—an immersive evening designed for couples and friends seeking a creative twist on a night out.

Set against sweeping views of the Dubai Canal, the masterclass reimagines legendary works of art as handcrafted cocktails. Guests embark on an interactive journey for two, selecting up to five drinks from a curated menu, each inspired by an iconic painting.

Highlights include the Starry Night Spritz, a sparkling nod to Vincent van Gogh; The Kiss Martini, a golden tribute to Gustav Klimt; and Frida’s Flame, a fiery concoction celebrating the bold spirit of Frida Kahlo. Other inventive creations such as Monet’s Garden, The Birth of Venus, and Picasso’s Palette offer equally captivating, story-driven flavor profiles.

The experience goes beyond taste. Each cocktail is paired with a visual of the masterpiece that inspired it, transforming the evening into a multi-sensory journey through art and mixology. To commemorate the night, guests receive miniature framed artworks of the paintings they’ve explored—keepsakes that echo the blend of culture and creativity.

Priced at AED 549 for two, the Grand Atelier Masterclass is available daily, with a 24-hour advance reservation required. With limited spaces per session and Ancora’s refined setting, the experience promises to be an unforgettable date night or social outing.

Reservations can be made by calling or WhatsApping +971 52 620 0344 or by visiting ancoradubai.com.

Blurring the lines between gastronomy and artistry, Ancora’s new offering cements its place as one of Dubai’s most innovative dining destinations.
