Atlantis culinarians across the property’s 31 restaurants, bars and dining outlets will learn beginning and advanced classic French and Modern cooking, as well as plant-based culinary techniques through the Rouxbe platform.
Atlantis, Dubai is home to two world-class resorts: Atlantis, The Palm, and Atlantis, The Royal, set to open in Q4 of 2022. The destination features 53 restaurants and bars in total, including 13 celebrity chef restaurants by the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Nobu Matsuhisa, Heston Blumenthal and Jose Andres.

Culinary Director of Atlantis Dubai, Chef Mathew Goodlet explains that, “Rouxbe transforms all this information about the fundamentals and the core of the culinary world into easily digestible sections. We selected Rouxbe as our culinary partner not only because it brings out exceptional technique from our colleagues, but this is easily one of the best tools to see our team grow and build on their skills as we continue to expand our culinary offering.”
Rouxbe training for Atlantis Dubai will include culinary foundations and technique courses, lessons, and videos. The revolutionary online platform delivers cutting edge e-learning solutions that drive and measure learning outcomes and engagement while providing effective, lower-cost alternatives for training professional cooks.

Over 300 learners and 30 administrators at Atlantis Dubai will have access to the program in 2022.
