"Cargo brings the ambitious, bustling vibe of the East to the Middle East, which fits perfectly in Dubai Marina’s ever growing community,” said general manager Robbert Heller.

“It is a locally created concept by long-time residents of the Marina, understanding the needs of the surrounding clientele of well-travelled diners who know good service, good food and good drinks. Cargo offers them just that, in a relaxed environment, perfect for socialising for work or pleasure.”

The brand is a UAE-developed concept, specifically designed to cater to the Dubai Marina community and its surrounding areas. In the coming months, the venue will offer extended weekend hours, a brunch, a ladies’ night concept and more.
