A new chapter in culinary innovation unfolds as FZN by Björn Frantzén opens its doors in Dubai, offering a dining experience that fuses Scandinavian precision with Japanese artistry. This highly anticipated sibling to Frantzén in Stockholm and Zén in Singapore brings an exclusive nine-course tasting menu, meticulously crafted to delight with every dish.
The FZN Experience:
From the moment guests arrive, they are welcomed into a beautifully styled living room, setting the tone with curated canapés. A guided tour of FZN follows, immersing guests in the restaurant’s unique ambiance before they settle in for the main dining event. For a relaxed close to the evening, the journey continues with drinks and petit fours, complemented by a choice to relax on the 18-seat terrace with panoramic views of Dubai’s glittering skyline.
Wine Pairing & Curated Cellar:
FZN’s extensive wine collection features over 1,300 labels, from boutique wineries to globally celebrated names, and includes exclusive selections debuting in Dubai. Pairings are offered in a variety of options—traditional wine, non-alcoholic, or a fusion of both—catering to each guest’s unique preference.
Design & Atmosphere:
FZN’s intimate space reflects the Swedish design roots of its sibling restaurants, with every detail speaking to craftsmanship and legacy. To elevate the sensory experience, a playlist of 300 songs, handpicked by Björn himself, sets the mood, blending seamlessly with the ambiance.
This is Björn Frantzén’s second venture in Dubai, following the opening of Studio Frantzén, a social dining and bar concept that opens on October 31. A pioneer in modern gastronomy, Björn’s journey began in Scandinavia with Frantzén, which currently holds three Michelin stars and ranks No. 35 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. His success extended to Asia with Zén, which also earned three Michelin stars, underscoring Björn’s culinary excellence.
