Restaurant Gigi Rigolatto

The Middle Eastern debut of the international restaurant and resort project Gigi Rigolatto, renowned for its famous beach club in Saint Tropez and the Alpine restaurant Gigi Val d’Isère, is one of the main image-building projects of the new coastal complex J1 Beach in Jumeirah. In terms of atmosphere, it is perhaps the most luxurious. The area, designed by Paris-based architect Hugo Toro, a great admirer of Old-World splendor and the project’s permanent partner, includes two expansive terraces, an improvised Mediterranean garden, a bar, a pool, a kids’ circus, a pétanque field, a spa zone, a concept store, and the restaurant itself, which is decorated in the late art deco style. The menu features slightly modernized classic Italian and French dishes with an emphasis on seafood. This beachside restaurant in Dubai’s Jumeirah is slightly better than perfect.
