Groupe Barrière continues its international development with the opening of a new Fouquet’s in Dubai in the first quarter of 2023

Paris, 23rd of November, 2022. Buoyed by the success of the recently launched Fouquet’s at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the brand is extending its reach to another of the region’s iconic destinations: Dubai, with a unique location overlooking Burj Khalifa, the highest tower in the world.

A Parisian institution for more than 120 years, Fouquet’s is continuing its international growth with a new property in the United Arab Emirates.

Staying true to its vision of having a presence in unique destinations, the legendary establishment from 99 Avenue des Champs Elysées will be opening its doors at the start of 2023, with views over the Burj Khalifa. Set over 4 floors and covering a surface area of more than 1,400 m², this new establishment will comprise a pâtisserie, a bar, the iconic brasserie, private lounges, and a rooftop boasting stunning views.

A go-to destination for fans of the silver screen and the jewel in France’s culinary crown, Fouquet’s is a symbol of Parisian art de vivre that dates back more than a hundred years. This new establishment is in line with Groupe Barrière’s desire to boost the development of this iconic brand through a clear and coherent repositioning strategy based on strong foundations.

For Alexandre Barrière, Strategy & Development Executive Vice President: «This new Fouquet’s in Dubai is a great source of pride for the group, but it also confirms that our international development strategy is paying off. I am thrilled with our recent openings in St Barths, Abu Dhabi, and just a few weeks ago, in New York too. This is just the beginning; the group will continue its international development under the Barrière and Fouquet’s brands, two names which symbolise French art de vivre, with other developments soon to be announced in the new year.”
