Landmark transformation of The Promenade will create Dubai’s next iconic dining destination
Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre has announced one of the most significant investments in its culinary history, unveiling plans for a landmark transformation of The Promenade that will redefine one of Dubai’s most established dining destinations.
For more than four decades, Le Méridien Dubai has played an integral role in the city’s culinary evolution, welcoming generations of residents, international travellers and discerning diners to its collection of award-winning restaurants. Building on this rich legacy, the hotel is embarking on an ambitious redevelopment that reflects both its confidence in Dubai’s dynamic dining scene and its long-term vision for the future of hospitality. The transformation will see three celebrated venues, Long Yin, Kiku, and the current Bebemos & Beef Bistro space, reimagined as immersive dining destinations that honor their heritage while introducing contemporary design, elevated culinary experiences and exceptional service.
A New Era for Long Yin
One of Dubai’s most iconic Chinese restaurants, Long Yin will return inspired by the rich cultural exchanges of the ancient Silk Road. The new concept will celebrate the diversity of China’s regional cuisines, bringing together the distinctive flavours of Sichuan, Cantonese, Hong Kong, Shandong and Su traditions through refined contemporary techniques, authentic ingredients and elegant presentation.
A beautifully redesigned interior, combined with personalized service and carefully curated dining experiences, will position Long Yin among Dubai’s premier destinations for Chinese cuisine.
Kiku Reimagined
Kiku will enter an exciting new chapter inspired by Omotenashi, the Japanese philosophy of wholehearted hospitality.
The reimagined restaurant will showcase premium ingredients sourced directly from Japan while introducing immersive culinary experiences including signature Omakase menus, traditional Tuna Ceremonies and an elevated Signature Ramen Bento Lunch. Every aspect of the guest journey has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate Japanese craftsmanship, authenticity and precision, creating one of the city’s most distinctive Japanese dining experiences.
An Exciting New Culinary Concept
Completing the transformation, the current Bebemos & Beef Bistro space will give way to an entirely new restaurant concept, adding another distinctive experience to The Promenade’s diverse culinary collection. Further details will be announced in the coming months.
“This is far more than a renovation. It represents one of the largest investments Le Méridien Dubai has ever made in its culinary future and reflects our long-term confidence in Dubai as one of the world’s leading gastronomic destinations. We are creating a new generation of dining experiences that honour our heritage while introducing innovative concepts designed to inspire both loyal guests and a new generation of diners.” – Shujaat Yar, General Manager, Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre.
Exceptional Dining Continues Throughout the Transformation
While The Promenade undergoes its exciting evolution, guests will continue to enjoy one of Dubai’s most diverse culinary portfolios. Award-winning restaurants including Casa Mia, Seafood Market, Yalumba, The Dubliner’s, Gourmandises, Latitude, Wanis, Sura and Mahec will continue welcoming guests, alongside the hotel’s renowned conference, banqueting and outside catering operations.
Warehouse will also enter an exciting new chapter through a partnership with Solutions Leisure, transforming into three vibrant social destinations: Lock, Stock & Barrel, The Lanes and The Yard. Each concept has been carefully designed to preserve the venue’s energetic spirit while introducing fresh experiences for a new generation of guests.
Later this year, Le Méridien Dubai will also unveil the all-new Le Méridien Village Terrace, a vibrant al fresco destination nestled within the beautifully transformed Le Méridien Village. Featuring a rotating collection of seasonal culinary pop-ups, from taco counters and aperitivo bars to steak frites and sushi concepts, the Village Terrace will introduce an exciting new outdoor dining experience unlike any other in Dubai.
