Sponsored: New look, new menu, new cocktails, new experience…
For many years, Asia Asia has been a staple in Dubai’s nightlife scene offering delectable Pan-Asian bites, lively entertainment, and mesmerising views over Dubai Marina.
The brand’s flagship Pier 7 hotspot has recently undergone a major refurbishment, worth over Dhs11 million.
The restaurant reopened to the public on Saturday, June 10 with the same mysterious Geisha-inspired aesthetic you know and love but with some cool new features including an open kitchen, extended bar space, and live cooking stations.
As well as a brand-new look and feel, the revamp includes an upgraded menu with exciting new Pan-Asian dishes to try and a tasting menu.
As you enter, the exquisite restaurant immediately transports you to the ancient Spice Route with new furniture and art sourced all the way from Thailand and South-East Asia, vibrant pops of fuchsia, gold touches, and plush velvets bridging the gap between tradition and contemporary.
Soft lighting adds to the ambiance, dramatising the open kitchen and breathtaking marina views.
