We rated 11 spots. 2 earned an S.
The short answer

This guide rates the Palm spots S to C from real diner sentiment and verified recognition. The headline fact: the Palm has the only three-Michelin-star room in the city that is actually open, FZN, and the honest work here is steering you to the great tables that are serving, and away from the famous ones that are shut.
What you get for your money
The Palm is an expensive resort district, so the tier weighs the cooking against the price. An S is a genuine citywide standout, which here is FZN with three Michelin stars and STAY with two. A C is a beachfront or scene room you visit for the setting. We rank only open spots; the paused Atlantis stars are noted but not ranked. There is no D, because the food across these picks is good, the question is value.

FZN by Bjorn Frantzen
Atlantis The Palm
The hero of the Palm, a progressive Nordic and Japanese tasting-menu room holding three Michelin stars in the 2026 guide, and one of only two three-star rooms in the city. It is open, and it is the single biggest table on the island.

STAY by Yannick Alleno

The honest shape of Palm dining
The Palm is resort dining at the top end, and the honest headline is about what is open. FZN holds three Michelin stars and STAY two, and both are serving. Around them sit genuine standouts like estiatorio MilosA, CARBONE and Nobu, and then a run of beachfront and scene rooms.
The useful thing to know is that value is genuinely thin on the Palm, and the beach clubs are priced for the setting. Pick for the occasion and the budget.
The open stars, and the paused ones
The Palm's open Michelin rooms are FZN, with three stars and one of only two three-star rooms in the city, and STAY, with two. estiatorio MilosA and Nobu are listed in the Guide and open.
The careful print: Atlantis has paused several of its famous Michelin rooms, including Ossiano, Hakkasan and Dinner by Heston. They kept their 2026 stars while closed, so do not plan a trip around them until they reopen. Check before you book any Atlantis Michelin name.
Beachfront and value on the Palm
For the beach, RIVA and Ibn AlBahrC sit on the Club Vista Mare waterfront, and Koko BayB and BLA BLAC run the Palm West Beach scene. For value in an expensive district, estiatorio MilosA does a good-value business lunch inside an otherwise pricey room.
For the Greek and seafood angles that overlap here, our best Greek and best seafood guides cover estiatorio Milos and the wider field.
