One of Monaco’s most sought-after restaurants opens its doors in Dubai.
Japanese-Thai restaurant MayaBay has long had an incredible reputation in Monaco for its luxe interiors and five-star cuisine and now the famous dining destination has arrived in the UAE marking its first departure from the European city. Located at Jumeirah Al Naseem resort in Dubai, MayaBay offers a fine fusion of Japanese and Thai cuisines, that will impress even the most demanding of guests.
The Asian dining destination is famed for its bold ambient red interiors which instantly capture your attention as you walk through the doors. The design is indisputably Asian – adorned with warm and intricately carved wooden panels accentuated by natural stones, red and green chairs, elegant crystal lights, and large glass windows that offer uninterrupted views of the picturesque Turtle Lagoon and the nearby iconic Burj Al Arab hotel.
