Novikov Restaurant & Bar opens today at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Dubai. The new 13,000 square metre restaurant serves up progressive Asian cuisine from Japan, China and Southeast Asia.
The restaurant is the brainchild of Russian entrepreneur and restaurateur Arkadiy Novikov. The restaurant already has popular locations in Moscow and London. This is the first Novikov Restaurant in the Middle East.
Novikov’s executive chef is Shane Macneill, who has previously worked in several Nobu Matsuhisa restaurants around the world as well as Yotto Japanese restaurant by Cipriani at Yas Marina & Yacht Club in Abu Dhabi. Signature dishes on the menu include the Novikov Peking duck, king crab leg wasabi gratin and toro tartare with caviar.
Novikov will have four distinct areas that encircle an open kitchen: a bar & lounge; a sushi counter; the main dining room; and a mezzanine private dining room. The two-level restaurant, which can seat 280 guests, will have its own main road entrance off of Sheikh Zayed Road.
Novikov is open nightly from 6pm to 11:30pm. The lounge area will stay open until 2am. For reservations, call 04 388 8744
