The restaurant brings the fine French brasserie dining experience to the UAE, following in the gastronomic footsteps of the original Fouquet's, which opened on the Champs-Elysees in 1899. A new menu designed in collaboration with Michelin star-winning chef Pierre Gagnaire will feature classic French cooking with signature dishes, alongside contemporary international and traditional cuisine. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday, with varying hours, and is closed on Mondays.
