A Parisienne address legendary amongst the crème de la crème graces DIFC
The iconic and historic Raspoutine brand expands this fall to the very heart of Dubai – DIFC, following successful openings in Los Angeles and Miami.
Known to be the choice of global superstars and its ‘très’ select crowd, for the past 50 years Raspoutine has been an institution on the Parisian party circuit for the world’s most notable celebrities, tastemakers, and jetsetters.
Serge Gainsbourg, the Aga Khan, Rita Hayworth, Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kanye West, and the Count of Paris have all been regulars over the decades, as was Marlene Dietrich, who stole the scene on every occasion, from her favorite Raspoutine round table.
Whilst the Paris and Los Angeles venues are sought-after party-centric hotspots, expect a decadent dinner-and-party scene from the Dubai location, following its Miami sister and will offer an elaborate menu of reimagined Russian classic dishes with a French flair, such as Spaghetti & Caviar, Wagyu Beef Pirojkis and Duck & Foie Gras Pelmeni as well as the famous Raspoutine cocktails including Matryoshka, Tsar and Zolotaya Vishnya.
Set in an opulent and theatrical atmosphere, with Raspoutine’s legendary Deep House music as a backdrop, the interiors will reflect the signature red, with velvet touches and baroque style chandeliers, reimagining the extravagance of artist Erté.
Raspoutine’s international presence began to broaden under the vision of Logan Maggio and Alexander Ghislain, the two operating partners who fell in love with this mythical address and its hedonistic past.
“We chose Dubai for the development of the Raspoutine brand as the city represents one of the most exhilarating premium entertainment destinations in the world. In partnership with ADDMIND, a true market leader in the region, we are excited to introduce a unique luxury dining concept paired with an extraordinary nightclub experience”, says Alexander Ghislain, partner at Raspoutine
With ADDMIND’s continued expansion, their attitude towards constant innovation, and their clear mission to delivering captivating experiences, the partnership to bring Raspoutine to the region was only natural.
“ADDMIND is thrilled to partner with Paris Society for Raspoutine in Dubai. Raspoutine is a legend on the Paris nightlife scene, and we’re looking forward to introducing the brand’s inimitable glamour and spirit to Dubai” – Tony Habre, Group CEO Addmind.
Brian Bendix, CEO of Paris Society International, commented “Dubai truly is the world’s new gateway capital of hospitality and nightlife and for this unique Raspoutine opportunity we are tremendously proud to have partnered with the powerhouse of Dubai’s nightlife, Addmind, and it’s incredible team”.
