At FRNDS, we bring together the finest elements of Japanese and Mediterranean cuisine to create something truly unique. If you’re looking for a fusion restaurant in Dubai that blends heritage with innovation, precision with soul, and tradition with flair, you’ve come to the right place.
Our philosophy is simple: every dish should be an experience. Whether you’re joining us for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we invite you to discover how two iconic culinary cultures can come together in perfect harmony.
Why We Draw from Japanese Cuisine
Japanese food is known around the world for its refined technique, attention to detail, and reverence for ingredients. At FRNDS, we honour that legacy by incorporating Japanese elements across our menu—from the Bluefin Tuna Tartar with Osetra Malossol caviar to our elegantly presented Wagyu Beef Tartar and octopus carpaccio served with lemon caviar.
Even our breakfast menu includes a Japanese touch, like avocado toast with masago and smoked salmon, bringing that same level of subtlety and balance to your morning routine.
Why We Love Mediterranean Flavours
Mediterranean cuisine brings a different kind of richness—one of vibrant colour, bold flavour, and heartfelt simplicity. We’ve taken that warmth and elevated it, using ingredients like burrata with grilled artichoke, charcuterie selections with Cecina and salami picante, and our signature foie gras terrine with orange marmalade on toasted gingerbread.
Our guests often tell us that this fusion makes them feel like they’re travelling across continents—without leaving their seat.
What Fusion Means to Us
To us, fusion isn’t just about mixing flavours. It’s about creating a culinary dialogue between two great traditions. It means balancing innovation with authenticity, and above all, making food that tells a story.
Take our lobster risotto à la Milanese, finished with black truffle and caviar—or our king crab éclair, topped with avocado and tarragon chips. Each dish is crafted to surprise and delight, while staying true to the roots of both cuisines.
