Shakespeare Middle East proudly carries forward the legacy of a beloved café-restaurant concept first established in Dubai in 2001. After two decades of influencing the F&B space and setting a standard for sophisticated, casual dining, we are excited to usher in a new era under fresh ownership.

The story of Shakespeare continues, now guided by a focused vision for the future. We have refined our offerings, ensuring that the acclaimed culinary tradition—featuring classic and contemporary fare inspired by the world’s most beloved cuisines—is richer than ever. Our current flagship location is open and welcoming guests at Bawabat Al Sharq Mall.

The unique Shakespeare aesthetic—an elegant blend of refinement and cosiness designed to evoke the charm of bygone eras—is being carefully maintained and thoughtfully integrated into our new spaces. We are pleased to announce the upcoming opening of a smaller version of our restaurant in Radiant Square, Abu Dhabi, in the next few weeks.

A visit to Shakespeare Middle East is an experience for the senses. Complementing our core restaurant offering is our renowned patisserie, crafted in-house using artisanal techniques and the finest ingredients. Guests can indulge in an exceptional range of classic French pastries, including petit fours.

We remain dedicated to creating memorable experiences and becoming an integral part of the communities we serve.
