Sexy Fish will make its Dubai debut later this year

The Mayfair export will open in 2024.

Between its resident DJs, opulent interiors, artworks by the likes of Damien Hirst and Frank Gehry, and a diverse menu inspired by the seas of Asia, Sexy Fish has won rave reviews since its London debut in 2015. The trendy restaurant and bar currently runs three restaurants – one in London, one in Manchester and another in Miami – and is gearing up for its new venue in Dubai.

Following its forthcoming opening in Via Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, the celebrity hotspot is expected to take up residence in DIFC this autumn, echoing the hedonistic surrounds of its global outposts, where Chef Director Bjoern Weissgerber serves a diverse menu of sushi, sashimi, seafood, fish, and meat cooked on a robata grill inspired by the seas of Asia, with a focus on Japan.

Sexy Fish Dubai will offer breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline and features artworks by Damien Hirst. Popular among globally recognized artists, musicians, DJs, and creatives, this Japanese-inspired restaurant introduces itself to the market with a blend of top-tier dining, an award-winning drink selection, innovative culinary teams, and exceptional entertainment offerings.

The news was originally announced on the Sexy Fish website. The restaurant’s Dubai debut is expected to offer the perfect mix of decadent food, innovative beverages, and brilliant entertainment from lunch through dinner and beyond.

We’re hoping the Dubai outpost will retain the signature dishes of the original Sexy Fish, such as duck salad, vegetarian sushi, smoked tuna belly, crispy eringi mushroom, black cod, and king crab, with the addition of new dishes and seasonally inspired flavours. 

Sexy Fish Dubai enters the Middle Eastern market from the globally renowned restaurant group Caprice Holdings. Owned by Richard Caring, the restaurateur is behind world-class venues, including the private members’ club Annabel’s.

“The Middle East, and Dubai specifically has made its mark on the map as a global pioneer of innovation, welcoming an array of diverse and discerning diners. We are thrilled to bring Caprice Holdings, our rich heritage, and expert know-how to a region that is bubbling with potential and opportunity. We look forward to bringing our unique approach to the region’s competitive and glamorous F&B landscape with the launch of Sexy Fish Dubai,” says Richard Caring, Chairman of Caprice Holdings.
