Restaurant fit-out in Dubai — from concept to opening night
Concept to operating restaurant — the F&B work of the studio.
F&B interior design and fit-out for Dubai restaurateurs and hospitality operators. Concept, operations brief, design, build, opening.
This is one of twelve services held in-house by Montaigne Design. We do not subcontract the parts of the room that matter most — drawings are produced by our designers, joinery by our workshop, lighting by our team, and procurement is held by us. The contractor builds. We design and supervise.
Engagements typically begin with a private conversation in Dubai or Shanghai. Our minimum project fee is AED 400,000, and we respond within one business day.
What This Includes
Four pillars of the engagement
Operator's Brief
We design from the service plan outward — sightlines, acoustics, table spacing, kitchen pass.
Brand Identity
If you are a new concept, our Singapore studio can develop the brand alongside the interior.
Material Resilience
Finishes specified for daily wear — not for the opening photograph. Surfaces that age in, not out.
Opening Night
We stay through the soft opening. Snagging, lighting programming, and final adjustment happen on site.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Do you design restaurants in Dubai?
We do. Fine dining, casual dining, cafés, bars, and lounges. Our hospitality background means we design from the operator's service plan outward.
Can you help with restaurant concept and branding?
If you are a new concept, our Singapore studio (XY Branding) can develop the brand identity, naming, and graphic system alongside the interior.
How long does a restaurant fit-out take?
Six to twelve months from concept to opening, depending on scale and authority approvals. We stay through the soft opening for final adjustment.
