Thomas Schmelter, Area General Manager for IHG Hotels at Dubai Festival City, said: “September brings a renewed energy to Dubai as residents return and the city’s dining scene moves into a new season. Pierre’s TT has established a distinctive place within Dubai Festival City’s culinary offering, and we wanted to mark its return with a gesture of appreciation for our guests. We look forward to welcoming familiar faces back and introducing new guests to the creativity, hospitality and sense of occasion that define the Pierre’s TT experience.”

Pierre’s TT enters the new season following further industry recognition in 2026, including Three Toques from Gault&Millau UAE and Gold in the Best Restaurant – Fine Dining of the Year category at the Middle East F&B Excellence Awards 2026.

Guests can explore the restaurant’s à la carte selection or opt for the signature five-course Menu Découverte, priced at AED 590 per person. The menu presents a contemporary journey through French flavours, reflecting Pierre Gagnaire’s culinary approach and the craftsmanship of the Pierre’s TT kitchen team.

Located on the promenade level of InterContinental Dubai Festival City, Pierre’s TT combines contemporary interiors with a waterfront setting overlooking Dubai Creek, offering guests a relaxed yet refined destination for an evening of contemporary French dining.

From Thursday, 3 September to Saturday, 5 September, guests dining at Pierre’s TT will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of French bubbles to celebrate the restaurant’s return for the new season.

Gymkhana, London’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, has officially opened its doors at Gate Village, Building 7, DIFC. Open nightly for dinner from 6:30 PM to 1:00 AM, the restaurant brings its celebrated Indian cuisine to Dubai, with a menu rooted in culinary traditions from across India, defined by bold, layered flavours.

The menu spans Nashta, Kebabs & Tikkas, Game & Chops, Curry & Biryani, and Sabzi, featuring all-time favourites including Kid Goat Methi Keema & Salli, Tandoori Masala Lamb Chops with Walnut Chutney and Chicken Butter Masala. These sit alongside dishes created exclusively for Dubai, including Jackfruit Ghee Roast, Makhmali King Crab & Malai Pyaaz, Imli Black Cod with Peanut Chutney, Wagyu Beef Sukka with Bone Marrow, Malvani Sea Bream and Goat Shank Nihari.

Set across two levels with an additional terrace, Gymkhana Dubai has been designed by Samuel Hosker of North End Design alongside Karam Sethi, evolving the distinctive design language established at the Mayfair flagship for its new Dubai setting. The material palette has been recalibrated with warmer timbers and lighter green hues, creating a brighter interpretation while retaining the character and elegance of the original.

Founded in London’s Mayfair in 2013 by siblings Jyotin, Karam, and Sunaina Sethi of JKS Restaurants, Gymkhana is one of the UK’s most in-demand restaurants. Taking its name from the elite social and sporting clubs of India, the restaurant pays homage to the institutions where members of high society gathered to dine, drink, socialise, and celebrate. After earning its first Michelin star within nine months of opening, Gymkhana was awarded a second Michelin star a decade later in 2024, cementing its status as a defining name in classic Indian dining.

Gymkhana is now open daily for dinner service. To secure a table, reservations can be made via the website.

Opening hours:

Americana Restaurants International Plc (“Americana Restaurants” or the “Company”) (ADX symbol: AMR / ISIN: AEE01135A222) (Saudi Stock Exchange symbol: 6015), the largest out-of-home dining and quick service restaurant operator in the Middle East, North Africa and Kazakhstan, today announced an exclusive development agreement with Taco Bell UK and Europe Ltd, a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM), to bring Taco Bell to the UAE, with plans to take the brand to additional GCC countries through a phased expansion.

The agreement opens an exciting new chapter in Americana Restaurants’ decades-long relationship with Yum! Brands, building on the successful operation of KFC and Pizza Hut across the region. Taco Bell brings something distinctly different to the portfolio: a bold, youthful brand built around craveable Mexican-inspired flavours, constant innovation and a strong connection with culture. Its addition marks Americana Restaurants’ entry into the fast-growing Mexican-inspired QSR category and reflects the Company’s continued commitment to evolving with its customers and bringing fresh, relevant dining experiences to the region.

With more than 9,000 restaurants worldwide, including over 1,200 restaurants across 40 markets outside the United States, Taco Bell has grown from a restaurant brand into a global cultural icon. Its bold approach to food, disruptive menu innovation and unmistakable personality have earned it a passionate following, particularly among younger customers looking for brands that feel fresh, expressive and different.

Bringing together Taco Bell’s global brand power, culture of innovation and unmistakable energy with Americana Restaurants’ proven operational excellence, deep regional expertise and track record of building iconic restaurant brands, the partnership creates a powerful platform to bring the Taco Bell experience to customers across the region.

The UAE will be the first market under the partnership to experience Taco Bell. With one of the world’s most diverse customer populations, a vibrant food culture and a constant appetite for what’s new, the UAE provides a natural starting point for the brand. From there, Americana Restaurants and Taco Bell intend to take the experience to additional GCC markets through a phased rollout, building a strong and sustainable regional presence.

Mr. Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of the Board of Americana Restaurants, commented:

“Taco Bell is the coolest brand in its category, built for a generation that wants great flavour, great value, and a little attitude. Young people in our region are curious and adventurous so brands should keep surprising them. Dubai adopts what’s bold and tells the world about it. We will start here, get it right, and scale Taco Bell across the UAE and the GCC.”

Sean Tresvant, Chief Executive Officer of Taco Bell commented: 

“For more than 64 years, Taco Bell has built a brand that consumers love – bold, distinctive, culturally relevant – and we’re just getting started. We’re excited to continue our strong international momentum in the UAE, to connect with a new generation of fans, and bring the creativity, innovation and unmistakable Taco Bell experience that only our brand can deliver.”

Ankush Tuli, Managing Director of Taco Bell International, commented: 

“The UAE represents an exciting growth opportunity for Taco Bell, and we could not have asked for a stronger partner than Americana Restaurants. Their operational excellence and proven track record of driving growth give us great confidence as we grow Taco Bell in this vibrant market and build the brand for long-term success across the region.”

This partnership further strengthens Americana Restaurants’ diversified portfolio and reinforces its position as the partner of choice for leading global restaurant brands seeking growth across the MENA region. As customers’ tastes continue to evolve, the Company remains focused on expanding its offering with brands that bring something new and distinctive to the region, while delivering sustainable long-term value for shareholders and memorable experiences for the communities it serves.
