Paris Society will introduce Mūn, its contemporary Japanese restaurant, to Dubai’s J1 Beach, leading a new phase of expansion across the UAE.
A series of openings from late 2026 into early 2027 will extend the group’s portfolio across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, encompassing restaurants, beach destinations and multi-concept dining.
Mūn brings together contemporary Japanese cuisine, Parisian glamour and a festive spirit, with an indoor restaurant and outdoor garden by the beach. Dishes designed for sharing will anchor the experience, while music and a relaxed atmosphere will invite guests to linger over dinner and drinks.
“Bringing Mūn to Dubai has been an ambition for some time,” says Rizwan Kassim, CEO of Paris Society. “Its Japanese cuisine and Parisian character add a distinct experience to the city’s dining offer. At J1 Beach, we see an opportunity to contribute to a destination where dining is central to the appeal of the beachfront. This opening reflects our confidence in Dubai and in the people who will help us build the next chapter of Paris Society here.”
Additional openings across the UAE include:
Anzu Beach Club: A new Mediterranean beachfront destination at Al Hamra Boardwalk, Ras Al Khaimah, developed and managed by Paris Society in partnership with Al Hamra. Bringing fresh energy to Ras Al Khaimah’s coastline, Anzu Beach Club will introduce a new destination where Mediterranean flavours, poolside afternoons and music come together.
Gigi Caffè: A new expression of Gigi Rigolatto from Paris Society, coming to Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Grove, developed by Aldar. Saadiyat Grove is a luxury retail and dining destination in Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Cultural District.
Siga Siga: A new Greek dining destination within 25hours Hotel One Central. Bringing the warmth and spirit of Greek hospitality to the heart of Dubai, Siga Siga will introduce a contemporary Greek taverna inspired by parea, the tradition of bringing friends together over food and conversation. From relaxed daytime dining to evenings with a livelier atmosphere, the destination will combine indoor and outdoor spaces, a garden terrace, a bar and music featuring DJs and live percussion.
The UAE pipeline follows a year of international openings, from Gigi Rigolatto and Maison Revka in Bodrum to Mimi Kakushi in Paros, Ninive in Bahrain and the group’s arrival at Delano Miami Beach. Looking ahead, Paris Society’s 2027 development programme spans Saudi Arabia, Europe, the United States and the Maldives, alongside further projects in the UAE.
“The strength of a brand is knowing what to preserve and where to adapt,” adds Kassim. “As we enter new markets, our focus is on keeping the character guests recognise while building a restaurant that belongs in its destination.”
