London's Café François will open a brasserie in DIFC in early 2027
The French brasserie from the team behind Maison François is coming to DIFC, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.
Café François, the London brasserie from the team behind Maison François in St James's, will open its first Dubai restaurant in DIFC in early 2027, FACT Magazines reported.
It will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, with mostly French classics. In London the menu includes house coffee and pastries, rotisserie chicken, steak frites and snail croquettes, and trolley service is one of its signatures. Studio Shayne Brady is designing the Dubai room to echo the Borough Yards original, with oak-panelled banquettes, mosaic tiles, neon signs and the brand's clocks. The opening is a joint venture between Group François and Keybourne Group.
There is no exact opening date, address within DIFC or price list yet. Founder François O'Neill called it "a love letter to the café culture we have enjoyed on our travels". Until bookings open, follow the restaurant's announcements for the date.
