The Experience
We look forward to seeing how each evening at Moonrise unfolds. Each evening brings new conversations and moments that stay with us. That’s what makes service interesting for our team, even when we’ve prepared for it all day. Here’s a little more about the people, the place and the menu that make up an evening with us.
The Menu
Our menu is our take on “Dubai Cuisine”, which is shaped by the city Chef Solemann grew up in. This cuisine brings together ingredients from the region with flavours and techniques from the cultures that are part of life here. Every course offers a different way to taste the city we call home.
The Team
There are 17 of us at Moonrise, led by Chef Solemann Haddad. Every service is a team effort. Our chefs prepare each course in the open kitchen, while the front of house team looks after our guests at the table. Each team member brings their own expertise. The small space allows guests to see how we work together to give a memorable experience.
The Space
Moonrise has one table, 15 seats and an open kitchen. It’s a small space. Guests can see each course being prepared in front of them before it arrives at the table. Guests can ask about a dish, watch a finishing touch or just enjoy the evening as it unfolds.
The View
Moonrise sits on a rooftop overlooking Dubai’s skyscrapers. Chef Solemann grew up in Dubai and the city has always been part of the way he thinks about food. The view gives you a glimpse of that connection. Guests can take a moment to look out over the city and savour each course.
