French chef Pierre Gagnaire is set to open in Dubai's bonkers Festival City development, the Rat has learnt.
Gagnaire, who is credited as being at the front of the fusion movement in France, does not lack international reach as he already has an eponymous restaurant in Paris, leads the culinary direction of London's Sketch and last autumn opened a restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong.
Still, the three-Michelin star winning chef will have his work cut out for him at Festival City, which features no less than 90 restaurants, cafes and bistros in its waterfront development alone. Oh, and the world's largest Marks & Spencers outside the UK.
Sounds like the sort of place a Rat could enjoy.
