New York's EMM Group will open the first international outpost of the Catch New York brand in Dubai in early 2015, marking the start of its global expansion.

The restaurant will be located at The Fairmont Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai.

The opening date has not yet been confirmed but it is expected to open late January or early February, the company said in a statement.

The company, led by hospitality veterans Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum, has attracted a loyal following among the A-list with its contemporary yet classic dishes by executive chef Hung Huynh, winner of the US cooking competition reality show Top Chef.

Remm said: “We have nurtured Catch New York and seen it grow into a brand that appeals to the contemporary diner in search of a complete dining experience.

"From the menu itself to the unique service style and the energy that permeates the dining room, the brand is inherently global and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to enter the established Dubai hospitality market."
