DUBAI- Leading restaurant and café operator Rikas Hospitality Group has revealed plans to open five new restaurant concepts in Dubai: Gigi Rigolatto, Gohan on the Beach, La Cantine Beach, Maison Revka and Ninive Beach.
Rikas Hospitality revealed the new concepts are scheduled to open in October.
The first concept, Gohan on the Beach, will be located inside the recently opened Delano Dubai Hotel on Bluewaters Island.
The restaurant echoes the Emirates Towers establishment. According to Rikas Hospitality, its elevated dining experience will stem from its casual, contemporary beachfront setting. It also features indoor and outdoor dining areas, a bar and a terrace.
The second restaurant concept La cantine Beach will be open at Delano Dubai. The concept features a restaurant, beach, bar and pool. The concept will also feature Mediterranean-inspired menu items plus a shop for its guests.
Rikas Hospitality also revealed it has partnered with French hospitality company Paris Society for its Maison Revka and Gigi Rigolato concepts.
The two restaurants currently operate in France and will be making their UAE debuts in October.
Rikas Hospitality revealed Gigi Rigolatto will be located on J1 Beach while Maison Revka will be located on Bluewaters Dubai.
The fifth concept, Ninive Beach, will also be located in J1 Beach. Inspired by North Africa, this restaurant concept blends the region’s tradition, heritage, vibrant atmosphere and cuisine.
Rizwan Kassim, CEO & Founder of RIKAS Hospitality Group, welcomed the move by saying, “We are excited to launch five new beach venues in Dubai: La Cantine Beach, Gohan, and Maison Revka at Bluewaters Dubai, along with two additional unique concepts at J1 Beach.”
“As a brand with a decade of experience, our vision has always been to create destinations that offer more than just dining — places where people come together to experience something truly special.”
The new concepts reflect the hospitality’s rapid, partnership-aided expansion strategy.
The strategy was birthed by Rikas Group’s strategic partnership with Ennismore, one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality companies, which also owns Paris Society.
As part of this strategy, Ennismore, through Paris Society, committed to supporting Rikas Group’s expansion into Europe. Rikas also committed to support Ennismore’s expansion into the Middle East.
