The story
At Jumeirah Al Qasr in Dubai, French Riviera Beach brings the spirit of the Côte d’Azur to the Arabian Gulf. Mediterranean cuisine is served with elegant presentation, accompanied by gentle sea breezes and a relaxed beachfront atmosphere. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a setting that balances fine dining with the easy charm of a seaside escape.
The kitchen is led by Kim Joinié-Maurin, a chef whose career includes a decade alongside Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon and a pioneering role at Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. His French training and Mediterranean influences shape a menu that reflects both precision and a sense of place.
French Riviera Beach has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, placing it among Dubai’s notable dining destinations. The award underscores the restaurant’s commitment to refined French and Mediterranean cuisine in an exceptional beachfront setting.
From a beachfront breakfast that awakens the senses to a la carte lunches and dinners, the menu changes with the rhythm of the day. The dress code is smart casual or beach chic, and all ages are welcome. A curated wine list and cocktail menu complement the food, while shisha and scenic views add to the leisurely mood.
