WHEELER’S, DIFC, DUBAI

MARCO PIERRE WHITE’S SEAFOOD SPECIAL
Following the launch of Frankie’s by Marco Pierre White in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and the recently closed Titanic by Marco Pierre White at The Melia Dubai, RMAL Hospitality has brought the infamous chef’s seafood restaurant Wheeler’s to the UAE.

Aiming to stand out with a clean, minimalist look, the restaurant hopes to echo the original 1856 Wheeler’s of St. James concept in London, but with some features implemented to appeal specifically to the local audience.

Wheeler’s features white walls, a 2300-glass tube chandelier running through the outlet, sea-inspired artwork and mother-of-pearl napkin rings — all reminding diners that seafood is the outlet’s primary focus.

CEO of RMAL Hospitality Anthony Liddiard says: “Dubai is glamorous and glitzy and the bar is raised every six months. What we have to do is spend a lot of money on the design and fit out of the restaurant because international visitors’ and residents’ expectations are very high of a premium restaurant.”
