Paris Society Announces New Openings Across Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, and Abu Dhabi

Paris Society will introduce MŪN, its contemporary Japanese restaurant born on the Champs-Élysées, to Dubai’s J1 Beach, leading a new phase of expansion across the UAE. 

A series of openings from late 2026 into early 2027 will extend the group’s portfolio across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, encompassing restaurants and beach destinations, and multi-concept dining.

MŪN will bring together contemporary Japanese cuisine, Parisian glamour and a festive spirit, with an indoor restaurant and outdoor garden by the beach. Dishes designed for sharing will anchor the experience, while music and a relaxed atmosphere will invite guests to linger over dinner and drinks.

“Bringing MŪN to Dubai has been an ambition for some time,” says Rizwan Kassim, CEO of Paris Society. “Its Japanese cuisine and Parisian character add a distinct experience to the city’s dining offer. At J1 Beach, we see an opportunity to contribute to a destination where dining is central to the appeal of the beachfront. This opening reflects our confidence in Dubai and in the people who will help us build the next chapter of Paris Society here.”
