The launch will mark Björn Frantzén’s second restaurant opening in Dubai this year.
United Arab Emirates, Dubai – FZN by Björn Frantzén, will open its doors on Friday 8th November, at Atlantis, The Palm. Sibling to the three-Michelin-starred Frantzén in Stockholm and Zén in Singapore, FZN will offer guests a unique culinary journey across two floors. Showcasing Björn’s signature creative approach to modern European cuisine infused with Japanese influences, the nine-course tasting menu will feature the finest ingredients.
Upon arrival, guests will step into a stylish living room for a selection of canapés, followed by a guided house tour and dinner in the dining room, followed by drinks and petit fours. For those looking to extend their experience, guests can enjoy the 18-seat terrace, offering views of the Dubai skyline. To complement the dining experience, FZN will offer over 1,300 wine labels, ranging from boutique producers, and internationally acclaimed labels from 15 countries to Dubai firsts. Guests may choose a wine pairing, a non-alcoholic pairing, a combination of both, or selections from the cellar during the experience.
The intimate restaurant shares the same design DNA as its siblings Frantzén and Zen, both focused on Swedish craftsmanship and legacy. FZN’s unique atmosphere is further enhanced by a playlist of 300 songs personally curated by Björn himself. FZN will be the second restaurant in Dubai by the celebrated chef, after the social dining and bar concept launch, Studio Frantzén, which is set to open on Thursday 31st October.
Björn instantly shook up the culinary scene in Scandinavia with the opening of his restaurant Frantzén in 2008. The restaurant was awarded its first Michelin star just one year later and has gone from strength to strength ever since. It currently holds three Michelin stars and is listed as No.35 in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. He made his first debut in Asia with the opening of Zén, also earning three stars. In a true testament to Björn’s trailblazing gastronomy, he is currently ranked No. 41 in The Best Chef top 100 list. The prestigious La Liste also recently announced its Top 1000 Restaurants of 2024, where Frantzén and Zén were featured.
