A Parisian Signature, Reimagined in Dubai.
In the heart of DIFC, a new Mediterranean address brings together French heritage, garden dining and the rhythm of an evening out.
DUBAI, NOVEMBER 2026. SOLENA by RASPOUTINE has arrived in Dubai International Financial Centre, introducing a Mediterranean dining destination shaped by French elegance, music and a distinctive sense of occasion.
Created by RASPOUTINE co-owners Logan Maggio and Alexander Ghislain with AlphaMind Hospitality, the restaurant offers a fresh expression of a name whose Parisian story began in 1965. Born from the atmosphere of a Russian cabaret, RASPOUTINE became a familiar presence in Parisian nightlife, celebrated for its theatrical interiors and unmistakable social energy. SOLENA translates that heritage into a more relaxed, dining-led experience.
Its leafy terrace offers an intimate counterpoint to the architecture of DIFC. Here, Mediterranean warmth meets Parisian polish, while a resident DJ and live vocalist gently carry the mood from dinner into a livelier evening.
The menu combines Mediterranean ingredients with French technique. Highlights include sea bream crudo with citrus and chilli oil, king crab salad with avocado and asparagus, and capellini with lemon butter and RASPOUTINE caviar. Turbot with caviar sauce and a classic Paris-Brest with praline cream and salted caramel add a sense of occasion. Cocktails take inspiration from the French Riviera, including Zenn Fizz and Sweetest Taboo.
Alongside its à la carte offering, SOLENA introduces the aperitivo-inspired Aperitivo Rendez-Vous and a curated SOLENA Dining menu. The experience moves naturally between food, conversation, cocktails and music. AlphaMind Hospitality, formed through Addmind Hospitality and ADMO Lifestyle Holding, is behind the project. SOLENA joins a portfolio that includes CLAP, KIRA, LITT, Bar du Port, Son of a Fish, Iris and RASPOUTINE.
