Louvre Abu Dhabi will be home to French hospitality company Barrière Group’s well-known brasserie-style restaurant Fouquet’s.
The first Abu Dhabi-based branch of the company will open in 2020, with the menu created in collaboration with renowned French chef Pierre Gagnaire.
Manuel Rabaté, director of Louvre Abu Dhabi, said: “Abu Dhabi is known for its collaborations with some of the world’s premier brands and this prestigious new partnership with Barrière Group is yet another fine example. With the opening of Fouquet’s at Louvre Abu Dhabi next year, the museum continues to bring unique and exceptional experiences to Saadiyat Island.”
Fouquet’s is a high-end brasserie-style restaurant with branches in Paris, Cannes, Toulouse, Marrakech and other international locations.
Designed by Jean Nouvel, the restaurant area at Louvre Abu Dhabi is made up of modular compartments taking inspiration from Arabic patterns. Nouvel has also designed furniture elements that complement the light-filled interiors and panoramic views of the sea.
