Guests arriving at the restaurant will instantly feel in familiar surroundings with its ‘industrial’ interior design, inspired by the recognizable setting of the TV series, complete with a dedicated bar. Food will be served on classic white ‘casual’ china with sturdy, yet lightweight, cutlery ensuring the focus remains firmly on food.

“Dining at MasterChef the TV Experience, will be an entirely immersive experience,” said Fraser-Smith. “It will establish an emotional connection, through food, and nurture a passion for cooking at all levels of expertise across all ages and cultures, which is vital in a cosmopolitan hub such as Dubai.”
