Bareburger will make its Dubai debut in October at Festival City Mall, with three more locations to follow.

The burger restaurant from New York City serves organic food, natural ingredients and free-range meats.

The Dubai outlet has been designed by Bareburger co-founder and chief design officer John Simeonidis Jr., who said “we wanted to keep the familiar look and feel of our restaurants as well [as] build them within our typical sustainable efforts".

He added: "With that said, sourcing local and reclaimed materials was very challenging. Fortunately, the wealth of knowledge our local partners brought to the process along with the expertise of Keane Brand LLC, the final result is a restaurant that I am proud of, and immensely thankful to have taken part in” 

Bareburger CEO Euripides Pelekanos commented: “No matter where you are in the world, your most valuable assets are your partners. Just like back home, the success rate of any development is anchored in the people behind it.

"Having local partners who know the landscape of the country, the cities, the neighbourhoods and the projects, and who have the proven experience to bring an idea to life, has made this endeavor an experience I’m happy to be a part of.”

Dubai Festival City Mall has revealed that it expects to offer a total of 50 dining outlets by the end of 2016. It described Bareburger in a statement as serving “organic fare for health nuts”.
