Dubai may as well be dubbed: “The city that never ceases to introduce new F&B destinations on a monthly (sometimes even weekly) basis.” There is always a new concept to try and new food to eat.
Here are four of the newest places to open in Dubai
Gaia: Greek-Mediterranean
Named after the Greek deity of earth, each aspect of the eatery is supposed to resonate with the sun, mountains and the sea. The restaurant serves Greek cuisine, with a humble, comfortable and unpretentious approach. An ice market makes up a focal part of the venue, with fresh fish and seafood that changes daily. They promise authentic Greek cuisine served in layers.
Location: DIFC Gate Village, Building 4
Cost: Various
Timings: Daily from 9am to 12am
Beau Rivage: A European-style cafe
The recently launched Grand Millennium Business Bay has officially opened its first new F&B space — the Beau Rivage Bar. The European-inspired cafe stretches along the Dubai Canal waterfront on Marasi Drive and offers a relaxed environment combined with a menu designed for sharing. From next week, the Beau Rivage Bar will play host to different theme nights all accompanied by live music. There’s ‘Paris Mon Amour’ taking place on Saturdays, where you can listen to live French music while tucking into traditional Bourguignon, and ‘She is the Boss’, an early ladies night starting right after work at 6pm on Tuesdays, where ladies can enjoy complimentary drinks and 50 per cent off their food bill. For everyone else, there’s a special promotion on pizzas or flat bread with house grape and hops, with classic 90s hits playing in the background.
