Dubai’s dining scene has just gained a game-changing addition with the opening of Maison Dali, a new restaurant that promises to deliver a one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience. Located in the iconic The Opus by Dame Zaha Hadid in Business Bay, this exciting new concept is spearheaded by Tristin Farmer, a globally acclaimed chef with three Michelin stars under his belt. From innovative dishes to a surreal, Dali-inspired interior, Maison Dali offers a perfect blend of Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine, served in an atmosphere that exudes both elegance and quirk.
Maison Dali is not just another addition to the ever-growing list of new restaurants in Dubai; it’s a place where flavour meets artistry. Chef Tristin Farmer’s vision for the restaurant combines the best of Michelin-quality cooking with a relaxed, inviting ambience—creating a dining experience like no other. His years of expertise in world-renowned kitchens have led him to develop a menu that speaks to the soul, elevating simple ingredients to extraordinary new heights.
The menu at Maison Dali is a true fusion of Mediterranean and Japanese flavours, highlighting both the simplicity of the ingredients and the complexity of the flavours. Guests can enjoy a variety of inventive dishes, including King Crab Ceviche with fermented pineapple, trout roe, and tarragon, Smoked Lobster Donabe with sansho and black truffle, and Wood Fired Duck served with hoisin sauce and plum kosho. There’s also a strong focus on vegetarian offerings, with standout dishes like Potato Mochi with cacio pepe, black truffle, and vacherin mont d’or, and Smoked Shiitake with fermented kohlrabi and wild garlic.
One of the most exciting elements of the Maison Dali experience is its beverage programme. Curated by Vitor Hugo Lourenco, the cocktails are inspired by the seven global art disciplines, offering a sensory journey with each sip. The BARTENDER menu features drinks like the floral and elegant Symphony, the mellow Mist, and the smoky Lunar, ensuring there’s a perfect pairing for every dish. Additionally, the restaurant offers a unique non-alcoholic beverage programme that mirrors the depth of wine and sake, including creations like French Rose kombucha and Tomato, a mix of smoked cherry and Arabica coffee.
For those who enjoy an immersive dining experience, Maison Dali’s interior is nothing short of extraordinary. Designed by YDesign, the surrealist-inspired space features whimsical decor, mood-setting lighting, and playful art elements that engage diners visually. Whether dining indoors or on the intimate outdoor terrace with stunning cityscape views, Maison Dali promises to offer an unforgettable atmosphere.
The restaurant also boasts a private dining room that accommodates up to 12 guests, making it the perfect venue for exclusive events or intimate gatherings. And for those who want to continue the night in style, Maison Dali’s hidden Dali Supper Club, set to open soon, will be the ultimate late-night destination.
