Robz' Chef's Table: Ossiano chef launches a supper club in Dubai
Robz' Chef's Table draws inspiration from his life and career.
Chef Robin Höfer has been making a name for himself in the dining world. At the MICHELIN-Starred restaurant Ossiano, he was nominated for Gault&Millau UAE's Future Great of the Year 2025. Now, he is creating a supper club in Dubai, Robz' Chef's Table.
Robz' Chef's Table draws inspiration from his life and career, and showcases Asian flavours. Robin has worked at some of the top MICHELIN-Starred restaurants around the world. The supper club offers a more personal dining experience, and is limited to only eight seats. Plus, guests can use cutlery passed down from his grandmother, Lore.
Robz' Chef's Table starts with a Tepache welcome drink. Robin hails from Germany, and adds some of the country's comfort food on the menu. Käse Spätzle has been elevated with black truffle, crispy onion and a salad bouquet.
The Golden Egg is inspired by his travels in Thailand, and combines lobster and tapioca pearls. The Tom Kha Soup blends French techniques with Thai flavours. Plus, the desserts hark back to his childhood memories in Germany.
The drinks menu at Robz' Chef's Table includes the German drink, Spezi, which is served with jelly, black lemon, kumquat and finger lime. The non-alcoholic pairing comes with homemade fermented drinks like kombucha and lemonade.
Robin explained: 'The Chef's Table is a testing ground for me to showcase my cuisine in my own kitchen. Each dish tells a story, taking guests through my culinary journey – from my apprenticeship in Germany to my most recent experiences working at World's 50 Best Restaurant Disfrutar in Barcelona and three MICHELIN-Starred Core by Clare Smyth in London. I am grateful to welcome diners into my home, where they become part of my dream to open my own restaurant'.
Robz' Chef's Table takes place three times a week. The prices start from AED 750 per person for non-alcoholic pairing, and AED 850 with wine pairing.

Inside Apollo, Palm Jumeirah's newest modern bistro concept
Say hello to Apollo – the latest in the recent stint of foodie openings in Dubai. Nestled by the waters of Palm Jumeirah in Palm Views West, this is a modern, all-day bistro serving up contemporary, inventive flare and that kind of cool, casual vibe that's all the rage in Dubai right now. Casual dining is an entire niche of it's own, an incoming renaissance of sorts after the tidal wave that was the 'luxury' restaurant. We all know them – fancy interiors with insane installations and hard-to-see lighting, gold-leaf-covered sushi and burrata on the menu, and an empty wallet by the end of the experience. Apollo brings a unique, fresh approach to the dining scene of Dubai – conceptualised by independent hospitality giants TABLE4TWO, the brains behind beloved homegrown concepts and Dubai originals like Rascals Deli, 'Za 'Za Slice, Rascals Bakehouse, and Dime Burger. The concept of Apollo is designed to follow the natural rhythm of the city, moving and flowing with Dubai's body clock, be it rushed business lunches, languid weekend breakfasts or long dinners. It transforms from day to night, but the energy remains the same. The interiors, designed in collaboration with Muqaddas Akkari Studio (MA Studio), combine the raw textures of patterned velvet sofas and rich wood textures with the soft tones of deep burgundy walls and moody lighting to create a space that is comfortable, and timeless. Clean lines, space-y silhouettes and a sort of stripped-down vision to it that is so popular in Dubai these days – the exposed vents, the barebones walls, the floor-to-ceiling windows. The whole space exudes a sort of retro cool, with minimal art and tasteful introductions of colour. On the menu, you can sample classic and comfort dishes like ceviche classico, Asian chicken salad, prawn sesame toast, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Peruvian grilled octopus, clam linguine, chicken pot pie, duck confit with arroz nikkei, Apollo burger with dry aged wagyu and caramelised pop-corn ice cream.

Inside CHAR x Around The Block, Nad Al Sheba's newest grill bar concept
Roll out the red carpet for we have a new chip on the block. CHAR is the latest venture by homegrown, Emirati-owned concept Around The Block, known and loved for its high-quality, handcrafted specialty coffee and a new avatar with every opening. The latest transformation is all about flames and fire-fuelled flavours, drawing inspiration from global classics and pairing it with a Dubai story. Located in the brand new Nad Al Sheba Mall, the space offers, a sleek, minimal experience, stripped down to bare brown tiles, smooth wooden furniture, low yellow lighting and the centre of all the action – the exposed grill, firing up your dishes for you. The grilled varieties come from all parts of the world, incorporating Asian and Middle Eastern influences – perhaps the hotbeds of open-flame cooking. Think chicken shawarma, chicken tikka, tenderloin, sea bass and more, all flame-kissed and served with a variety of cold plates and sides designed to complement the depth of smoke and char with bright, light flavours. Everything is bold, refreshing, rich and packs an indulgent punch. What's new? The space functions in a unique way – by day it is the Around The Block we all know and love, serving specialty coffees, comfort dining and that light, daytime atmosphere. After 2pm is when the heat and speed picks up, and CHAR is brought to life. You start with freshly-baked bread, finish with smoky, specialty non-alcoholic drinks, savoury tender meats and a fitting end – something sweet. It's the perfect day-to-night transformation, much like ATB's other concepts – The Kitchen by Around The Block in Wasl 51, and TŌRI at Al Khawaneej Walk, turning into a modern Japanese eatery in a Cinderella-esque fashion. CHAR x Around The Block, Nad Al Sheba Mall, now open, daily, 7am to 2pm, 2pm till late, @charconcept, @aroundtheblock Images: Supplied > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
