Restaurant & F&B Interior Design in Dubai
Restaurants, cafés and bars built to move guests and stand up to service.
What is restaurant interior design in Dubai?
Restaurant interior design in Dubai covers the dining room, bar, guest flow and back-of-house, resolved together with the operator and kitchen consultant. Rectangle Interiors has delivered venues including Coya, LPM and Mott 32, designing and building each one turnkey with finishes chosen to survive a full service every night.
Restaurants, cafés and bars built to move guests and stand up to service.
A restaurant interior has two audiences — the guest and the operation. It has to feel like somewhere people want to be, while the kitchen, the flow and the covers all work behind the scenes.
It's work we know well. Our team has delivered some of Dubai's best-known venues, including Coya, LPM and Mott 32. We design the room, resolve the back-of-house, and build it to survive a full service, every night.
From a high-volume café to a fine-dining room or a late-night bar, the principles hold: an atmosphere that pulls people in, and a plan that still works when every table is full. Because we design and build in-house, the venue that opens is the one you signed off — delivered turnkey, on programme.
What we handle on a project like this.
Concept & atmosphere
The look and feel that gives the venue an identity guests remember and come back to.
Guest flow & seating
Covers, circulation and comfort balanced so the room feels generous but still works commercially.
Back-of-house coordination
Kitchen, bar and service routes planned with your operator and kitchen consultant.
Lighting & acoustics
Layered lighting and sound control so the room feels right at lunch and at midnight.
Hard-wearing finishes
Surfaces and materials chosen to take the punishment of a full service, every night.
MEP, extract & approvals
HVAC, kitchen extract and the municipality, food-safety and civil-defence submissions, handled as part of the fit-out.
Joinery, bar & millwork
Bars, banquettes and fixtures built in our own workshop to fit the space exactly.
The design brief changes considerably with the format. These are the F&B venue types we deliver most often in Dubai.
Fine dining
Rooms where the interior is part of the offer — lighting, acoustics and spacing designed around a longer sitting.
Casual & all-day dining
Higher turnover and mixed use through the day, so layout and durability matter as much as atmosphere.
Cafés & coffee shops
Compact footprints where the counter, queue and seating have to resolve without crowding the room.
Bars & lounges
Bar build, back-bar display and lighting that works at both an early evening and a late-night setting.
Hotel & resort F&B
Venues inside a hotel, designed to the operator's standards and coordinated with the wider property.
Cloud & production kitchens
Back-of-house led projects where compliance, extract and workflow drive the whole layout.
What sets our work apart.
Brand narrative through design
We build your culinary identity into every design element, from the theme to the materials.
Optimised floor plan & flow
We plan covers and circulation for maximum usable space without crowding the room.
Back-of-house that works
Kitchen, bar and service routes are resolved with your operator and kitchen consultant.
Hard-wearing finishes
Surfaces and materials are chosen to survive a full service, every night.
Seamless project management
Experienced project managers run the build so you can focus on the opening.
Timely completion
We work to efficient processes so the venue is ready for service on schedule.
From first sketch to the day you get the keys.

Restaurant & F&B — your questions answered.
Working out a budget first? Use the interior fit-out cost calculator for a planning estimate before you get in touch.
Have you worked on well-known restaurants?+
Yes — our portfolio includes venues such as Coya, LPM, Mott 32, Signor Sassi, Gaia and others across Dubai's dining scene.
Do you design cafés and bars too, or only restaurants?+
All of it — cafés, coffee shops, casual and fine dining, bars and lounges. The approach adapts to the format, but the goal is always a room guests enjoy and an operation that runs smoothly.
How much does a restaurant fit-out cost in Dubai?+
It's priced per square foot and depends on size, finish and how much back-of-house is involved. Use our cost calculator for a planning ballpark, then we'll quote your exact venue properly.
How long does a restaurant fit-out take?+
It varies with size, condition of the space and approvals — a compact café is far quicker than a large fine-dining venue. We agree a realistic programme up front and hold to it because design and build sit with one team.
Do you coordinate with our kitchen consultant and operator?+
Yes. We work alongside your kitchen consultant, operator and brand team so the front and back of house resolve as one design.
Can you handle the approvals for an F&B fit-out?+
Yes — municipality, food-safety and civil-defence approvals for the fit-out are managed as part of the project.
