Opening its doors in June at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai, Jean-Georges Dubai features two distinct spaces housed under one roof — the fine dining venue, JG Dining Room, and a relaxed all-day dining concept, JG Kitchen. The JG Dining Room highlights Vongerichten’s signature and three-course prix-fixe menus, offering traditional tastings of seasonal dishes and caviar creations including Sorrento lemon gelée with caviar crème fraiche, and warm glazed potatoes with caviar, tapioca and herbs. JG Kitchen, meanwhile, serves seasonal produce, executed with a progressive touch, encouraging social dining through various sharing concepts. With proven track record and exposure to the hospitality sector across North America, Australia, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, Jhingan has been associated with the set-up and launch of numerous F&B concepts, clubs, franchise restaurants, and five-star hotels during the course of his career. He was part of the Jean-Georges New York team prior to moving Dubai and has also overseen international F&B operations alongside various other Michelin-starred chefs such as Shaun Hergatt, Laurent Tourondel and Antonio Carluccio. Through the GFD Group, Jhingan aims to offer an unrivalled guest experience that balances regional insight with international F&B experience and a personal commitment to every brand in the company’s portfolio. Other GFD brands include Brandi Pizzeria, Miskeh Lebanese Restaurant, Serafina Dubai, and Real Madrid Café.
