The Maine Oyster Bar & Grill
“A Dream Come True”
Tucked away in a hotel loading dock, on the edge of Dubai's sprawling coastline, The MAINE Oyster Bar & Grill is a seaside brasserie devoid of any pretension or gimmickry. The MAINE has already made quite a mark on Dubai’s dining scene winning ‘Best Newcomer’ from What’s ON Magazine and ‘Best Seafood Restaurant’ from BBC Good Food, Whats ON and TimeOut. Owned by Pine Tree State BVI and managed by Water Grill FMS plans are already underway for three more outlets in Dubai by summer 2019, with international expansion planned for London and Hong Kong. As an expression of their North American roots, Montreal gastropreneur Joey Ghazal, serves up a slice of culinary nostalgia for those longing for an honest dining experience. Of course no brasserie experience is complete withot a glistening raw bar that anchors the room serving seafood towers, fashionable crudo and oyster galore. Boasting crowd-pleasing brasserie fare the family style menu runs the gamut from steaks and chops, to fresh fish and seafood, to pot roasts and steamers, bolstered by a slim unpretentious wine list.
The long-bar at The MAINE attracts an eclectic crowd of young urbanites downing good old-fashioned cocktails by the bucket. Blending a post-industrial design aesthetic with a laid-back New England extravagance, the retro-vintage feel pays homage to the immortal charm of the state whose slogan justly proclaims 'The Way Life Should Be'.
