For nearly twenty-five years, Coffeemania has stood as an iconic pioneer of refined, fine-casual dining, completely revolutionizing coffee culture and contemporary cuisine in Europe. Now, discerning epicureans in the region have a new destination to frequent. The award-winning brand has officially made its highly anticipated international debut in the UAE, opening a stunning flagship location on the Ground Floor of Dubai Hills Mall.
Spanning over 500 square meters of impeccably curated space, Coffeemania Dubai seamlessly blends haute gastronomy with world-class specialty coffee. It is a venue designed for the Durrah reader—vibrant, design-forward, yet deeply welcoming for families and food connoisseurs alike.
Design That Reflects Emotion and Elegance
Step inside, and the commitment to artisanal luxury is immediately striking. Envisioned by Studio APAA and lead designer Alexey Penyuk, the restaurant’s interior is a masterclass in material harmony. The centerpiece of the main dining hall is a breathtaking modular Murano glass chandelier from the Paysage series by Hannes Peer, its hand-cast glass petals casting a soft, intimate glow over a Gio Ponti-inspired mosaic floor crafted from mixed natural stones.
Rich African mahogany, smooth Carrara marble, and dramatic Breccia stone contrast beautifully against delicate Dedar silk wallpapers and supple Italian Lealpell leather. Custom-made sofas and Pedrali furniture invite guests to linger, while curated lighting by Delta Light, Charlotte Perriand, and Jaime Tresserra ensures that every corner feels perfectly zoned and beautifully intimate.
Adding to this sensory experience is a unique collaboration with the RARARES Gallery. The walls showcase hand-selected works by international and regional masters, including Tatiana Chursina, Ruslan Gudiev, and Fatma Lootah—the UAE Cultural Ambassador whose captivating canvases celebrate Emirati heritage.
Where Gastronomy Meets Specialty Coffee
The culinary offerings, helmed by Brand Chef Alexey Petrichenko—trained in Michelin-starred institutions across France and Sweden—balance comforting classics with fine-dining precision. Guests can indulge in signature staples like the flawlessly executed Olivier and Caesar Salads, alongside hearty, traditional mains such as the Pozharsky Cutlet and rich Beef Stroganoff served with velvety mashed potatoes. For a sweet finale, Head Pastry Chef Elena Zheleznyakova—celebrated as Moscow’s Pastry Chef of the Year—presents technically perfect desserts, including the legendary Honey Cake (Smetannik) and the delicate Rake.
Naturally, the coffee program is unparalleled. Sourced directly from trusted global plantations and roasted in small batches at the brand’s proprietary facility, the beans are brought to life by internationally lauded baristas. Led by Gleb Neveykin—a World Champion in Ibrik Coffee Brewing and the literal creator of the original “Raf” coffee—and R&D Head Irina Puzachkova, the beverage menu features cult favorites like Raf The Original, Raf Moss, and Latte Singapore.
Marking the first chapter of its expansion across the GCC, Coffeemania Dubai Hills Mall is not just a place to dine; it is an elevated emotional experience where architecture, art, and culinary mastery unite.
Coffeemania Dubai Hills Mall (Entrance 1) is open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 Midnight. Discover more on Instagram @coffeemania_gcc
