a stunning grand bar and premium Mediterranean & Japanese cuisines
Dubai, United Arab Emirates– After a successful grand opening gala hosted in February, F.R.N.D.S. Grand Café is now officially open and ready to welcome guests in the heart of the ever-dazzling Downtown Dubai. Located in the prestigious Address Fountain Views, the upscale restaurant offers an elegant dining experience that caters to a variety of occasions, from a leisurely breakfast to late-night socializing.
The restaurant’s signature design elements are inspired by the golden era of Art Deco, featuring a visually striking five-meter-tall “bas-relief” carving crafted by world-renowned Portuguese artist VHILS and stained glass-adorned grand bar with a “floating” quartzite and walnut table suspended from the ceiling. The cosy indoor dining space is ideal for an impressive date night, social gatherings with friends and celebrations of any occasion. For a more intimate setting, a glass-enclosed private dining room situated between towering five-meter-tall wine chillers is available for guests upon pre-booking.
The terrace at F.R.N.D.S. exemplifies charm and sophistication, drawing inspiration from the classic cafes lining Champs-Élysées. Enclosed and air-conditioned during the warmer months and open to the city vibe during winter, the space offers a cosy and inviting ambiance year-round. Centrally located in the heart of downtown, the terrace is ideal for business lunches or enjoying classic French pastries baked every morning by the award-winning pastry team. Premium shisha service is also available for those who wish to unwind after a long day or take a quick break between work hours.
The restaurant boasts an extensive menu featuring premium dishes from Mediterranean and Japanese cuisines. Head Chef Matthis Grosjean, who has an impressive portfolio, including Michelin-starred restaurants in France, such as Le Epicure in Bristols Hotel Paris and Paul Bocuse L’Auberge in Lyon, leads the Mediterranean kitchen team.
