Welcome to our universe
Nestled on the rooftop of Eden House in Satwa, we’re a 15-seater chef’s table restaurant. Led by Chef Solemann Haddad, we serve an ever-evolving degustation menu that shines the spotlight on the diversity of ingredients & culinary heritage that the Middle East has to offer.
Our story is deeply rooted in the region, but it’s told through a global lens, working with artisans from all around the world, serving their craft and produce in their optimal state to amplify, refine, and reimagine the flavors that define our home.
Solemann Haddad
Solemann Haddad is the self taught Chef and Founder behind Moonrise. Moonrise is shaped by the city he was born and raised in - Dubai. Solemann developed his own approach to cooking without formal culinary training or classical mentorship.
Solemann’s Dubai upbringing became the starting point for what he now defines as ‘Dubai Cuisine.’ His vision is derived from Middle Eastern ingredients with a particular influence from Japanese flavours. While rooted in Dubai, his cooking embraces global influences. His culinary style is driven by curiosity and a focus on ingredient sourcing.
Moonrise is built around ingredients from homegrown artisans, mills and growers across the UAE and leading producers from around the world. His work has earned him the 2022 MICHELIN Young Chef Award and Gault&Millau’s Future Great of the Year. The recognition has established Solemann and Moonrise within Dubai’s evolving dining scene.
