Dubai’s oldest licensed restaurant rebrands and reopens

Experience warm German hospitality at the authentic Der Keller set to reopen on September 1

Jumeirah Beach Hotel’s German favourite, Der Keller, has undergone a refurbishment and will reopen its doors on September 1.

The venue has welcomed a new Chef, German national Marcel Korpuka, who has designed an exciting menu including dishes from the three alpine regions; Austria, Switzerland and Germany.

Chef Marcel, who has extensive experience in German cuisine, says: “We’ve taken a new approach and included dishes and beverages from neighbouring countries including Austria and Switzerland. There’s now more choice than ever, while staying true to Der Keller’s heritage and our loyal supporters over the last 18 years.”

One of Dubai’s oldest restaurants (formerly located in Chicago Beach Hotel) Der Keller opened its doors in 1997 in Jumeirah Beach Hotel and has since become an institution among Dubai’s German community. Its updated menu complements the new alpine-inspired setting, while a range of full-bodied hops and hand-selected grape beverages perfectly pair with the traditional, rustic cuisine.

With generous portions and authentic dishes, the restaurant serves German meat dishes and will offer plenty of new additions including Swiss Raclettes and Austrian Schnitzel, among many other options.

Der Keller will be the first venue in town to mark the traditional German drinks festival Oktoberfest, with a special menu and great value promotions launching on 17th September.
