Mina Brasserie at within Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre proudly announces the highly anticipated return of globally celebrated chef and restaurateur Michael Mina to Dubai. From Friday, October 30 to Wednesday, November 4, Chef Mina will personally curate a series of off-menu creations at his DIFC restaurant, offering guests an intimate and rare opportunity to experience his signature cuisine first-hand and discover a selection of dishes created especially for his visit. Throughout the week, guests will also have the chance to meet Chef Mina, as he spends time in the restaurant sharing his culinary perspective and connecting with diners, bringing a personal connection to the experience that reflects the spirit of his hospitality.

With a career spanning over three decades, Michael Mina has established himself as one of the most influential and distinguished figures in the culinary world. Born in Cairo and raised in Washington, he has built an award-winning portfolio recognised with prestigious Michelin stars and accolades from the James Beard Foundation. Revered for his talent of fusing cultural influences and ability to continually shape the dining landscape, Michael Mina has positioned him as a defining name in the world of contemporary cuisine.

The exclusive visit comes at an exciting time for the Michael Mina brand, as the celebrated chef continues to expand his global culinary footprint with a series of landmark openings.

In 2025, Bourbon Steak San Francisco opened to widespread acclaim, fuelled by a high-profile collaboration with four-time NBA champion and entrepreneur Stephen Curry and the adjoining launch of The Eighth Rule bourbon bar. The debut marked a major homecoming for Mina and underscores his status as a visionary in contemporary American dining. This year, Chef Mina and his Mina Group team have opened Acqua Bistecca, and Italian restaurant in Estero Bay Florida, and have upcoming restaurant openings in Portland, Oregan and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Nestled in the heart of DIFC, MINA Brasserie evokes a sophisticated and inviting ambiance, from the contemporary interiors and the lushly landscaped terrace, where diners can enjoy energising breakfasts, elegant lunches, intimate dinners, and vibrant evenings with friends & family. Every experience reflects the refinement and warmth that have come to define both MINA Brasserie and Chef Mina’s distinctive approach to dining.

Chef Michael Mina’s exclusive presence at MINA Brasserie this October offers Dubai’s diners the unparalleled opportunity to experience the passion and creativity of a true culinary icon, whose influence continues to shape the future of dining around the world.
