These openings on Bluewaters Island promise beachside bites and bliss.


It’s autumn, and in Dubai, that means it’s the perfect season for events, outdoor dining, and new openings. Following the same philosophy, Rikas Hospitality Group is all set to expand its presence in the region with two new openings. Get ready to welcome La Cantine Beach and Gohan to the newly opened Delano Dubai.

Located on Bluewaters Island, La Cantine Beach and Gohan promise to elevate your dining experience at the boujee beachfront location. Contrary to their counterparts in Jumeirah Emirates Towers, these openings come just in time for the cooler months offering waterfront dining and relaxed vibes.

Gohan La Cantine Beach

Gohan at La Cantine Beach is now open, promoting traditional Japanese flavours with views of the water. With indoor and outdoor seating, a terrace, and a bar, you’re in for a truly delicious experience. The name translates to “meal of any sort” and refers to any cooked rice dish. The menu is all about authentic Japanese flavours and includes Beef Sando, Crispy Chilean Sea Bass, robata-grilled dishes and sushi. Plus, there are desserts ranging from Marinated Citrus to Matcha Sponge Cake.

“We are thrilled to open Gohan at La Cantine Beach, a concept that brings together the refined art of Japanese dining with the relaxed luxury of a beachfront lifestyle. Dubai’s culinary scene continues to evolve, and with Gohan, we are adding a new chapter that celebrates the beauty of Japanese flavors in a unique, coastal setting. We can’t wait to share this experience with both Dubai residents and international visitors.”- says Rizwan Kassim, Founder and Managing Partner of RIKAS Hospitality Group.

La Cantine Beach opened its doors at Delano Dubai in October, bringing the charm of La Cantine Du Faubourg to the beach. With a pickleball court, a volleyball court, children’s activities and gym equipment on site, it’s the perfect spot to break a sweat before taking a dip in the ocean. And with the Dubai Fitness Challenge rolling in next week, this is the perfect excuse to get a headstart.

Now all the fun is sure to build up an appetite and La Cantine Beach delivers with a menu of marvellous Mediterranean cuisine. Plus with a live DJ spinning beats, you’re sure to have plenty of fun in the sun. But the highlight of the venue is the 1969 Fiat Giardiniera located in the family pool area, which doubles as an ice cream car, offering six gelato flavours.
