Frankie Dettori rides to success again with new ME restaurant

Following a successful launch in Shanghai, Rmal Hospitality has opened its second Frankie's restaurant outside the UK in Dubai and is set to be the latest hot-spot for the discerning UAE diner.

Speaking at the ceremony Frankie Dettori commented 'Rmal Hospitality has successfully taken the Frankie's dining experience and exported it to new markets such as China and the Middle East. I am confident that Frankie's will be as popular in Dubai and Shanghai as it is in London.

'Marco Pierre White and I had the vision of creating a restaurant that incorporated our passion for excellent food with a certain flair that would make it unique. Frankie's is a place where traditional Italian cuisine meets a contemporary twist, which is reflected in the elegant styling.'

Capitalising on the emergence of lucrative consumer markets in the Middle and Far East, Rmal Hospitality's business strategy is to bring world-class hospitality concepts to new markets demanding exclusive international brands.

'Following feasibility studies in both China and the Middle East we have identified a growing trend for the increased demand in international hospitality offerings. We are committed to delivering and managing brands such as Frankie's to supply this demand and promote world class dining experiences,' said Rashid Al Fahim, Managing Director of Al Fahim Group.

The event saw a host of Dubai's movers and shakers attend the sophisticated launch party and rub shoulders with the likes of Sir Bob Geldof and champion boxer Chris Eubank.

'Having Frankie here to host the opening party is testament to the champion jockey's involvement in the restaurant and the efforts that have been put into launching the restaurant and bringing exceptional dining concepts to a receptive and discerning Middle East audience.

'We will continue the momentum of success and have many new leading hospitality developments coming online in the near future,' said Anthony Liddiard, CEO of Rmal Hospitality

Frankie's is Dubai's latest hot-spot and provides chic Italian cuisine in a contemporary setting.
