If you’ve ever been to Mayfair in London, specifically Berkley Square on a weekend, you’ll undoubtedly have seen the long line of people waiting to get into a restaurant on the edge of the park. That restaurant is Sexy Fish, with a name as Instagram-friendly as its interior. Lucky for you, that restaurant is now opening in the DIFC this autumn, under the moniker, Sexy Fish Dubai.

In being more specific, it is the restaurant group, Caprice Holdings, that is moving to Dubai.

The reason for its celebrity among curious patrons from, and outside of, London has as much to do with its name as the culinary delights it presents. And as the London, Miami and Manchester locations are all prone to the not-so-uncommon celebrity spotting, one can only assume the Dubai location will attract a similar variety.

“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 opporunity,” said Richard Caring, Chairman, Caprice Holdings. “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.”

Sexy Fish Dubai draws inspiration from the brand’s glittering heritage in London, Miami and Manchester – as well as the culture and energy of the city it will soon call home – the arrival in Dubai marks the next chapter for this world-famous restaurant and bar concept.
