This New Restaurant in Dubai is Coming in November
Dubai continues to elevate its culinary scene with the introduction of a new South-of-France inspired restaurant at Nikki Beach Dubai, set to debut this November. Nestled on Pearl Jumeirah Island, this vibrant eatery promises to transport diners to the sun-soaked shores of the French Riviera. Developed by the renowned Nikki Beach Hospitality group, this addition is expected to be a highlight for food enthusiasts seeking an escape into a Mediterranean paradise. Named Maison Mer, which translates to “House of the Sea,” the restaurant will deliver stunning views of the Arabian Gulf while honoring the coziness of home-cooked meals, reflected in its thoughtful design and culinary offerings.
The enchanting design of Maison Mer melds Mediterranean elegance with rustic touches, creating an ambiance reminiscent of summer days spent in Provence. Guests will enter through a gracefully arching limestone entrance, meandering along a garden path accentuated by lush plants. Inside, they’ll discover spacious vaulted ceilings and arched windows framing breathtaking sea views, complemented by classic iron chairs and hand-tiled tables. The outdoor seating area, adorned with scalloped umbrellas, offers the perfect backdrop to feel as if you are lounging on the French Riviera.
Guided by the expertise of Corporate Executive Chef Alessandro Pizza, who brings over 20 years of culinary experience from the French Riviera, Maison Mer aims to redefine traditional French cuisine. Teaming up with Dubai-based Head Chef Kavish Chimajee, the kitchen will craft dishes that evoke family traditions and communal dining, synonymous with the essence of the South of France. Diners can expect a menu rich in authentic flavors that celebrate the region’s culinary heritage.
The cocktail menu at Maison Mer encapsulates the spirit of the South of France, offering a refreshing take on classic beverages. From sparkling wine spritzes to innovative spirit-free concoctions featuring fig, hibiscus, and thyme, the drink offerings are crafted with seasonal Provençal ingredients to provide a unique balance of freshness and complexity.
