Overlooking Dubai’s infamous skyline with 180° terrace views, Ruby Ru welcomes guests to savour a relaxed sunset dining experience or enjoy a buzzing evening on the Creek.
The newly opened venue marks the latest addition to AlphaMind, a strategic partnership between ADMO Lifestyle Holding and Addmind, the leading lifestyle and entertainment group.
Drawing from French joie de vivre, Ruby Ru by Iris is a ‘café du soir’ rooted in a love of life’s simplest pleasures. Perched on an expansive terrace set against Dubai’s skyline, the concept welcomes guests through an arched entrance and into a lavish open-air space with an inviting bar and chic dining area. The décor evokes effortless elegance, with a thoughtful mix of materials including marbles, woods, and fabrics inspired by Parisian charm and luxury.
As for the menu, Ruby Ru offers indulgent French-Japanese cuisine featuring an array of comforting dishes such as Wagyu Beef Sando and Octopus Tiradito or, for mains, Japanese-Style Hot Stone Steak and Whole Sea Bass.
Ruby Ru by Iris has also launched a weekly programme of signature events. ‘Ruby’s Brunch’ brings delicious dining with a cocktail station and drinks packages every Saturday from 1PM to 5PM starting at AED 300. ‘Ruby’s Night’ is a treat for the ladies featuring indulgent mains with free-flowing wine and cocktails every Thursday from 7PM to 11PM – all for AED 120. And ‘Ruby’s Hour’ invites guests Sunday to Friday from 4PM to 8PM for a sunset drink or cocktail pitcher with special prices.
Wassim Zouein, Addmind Managing Partner, said “Today, our clientele are looking for meaningful dining experiences where the conversation is just as exciting as the menu or the music. Following in the footsteps of our hugely successful Iris venues, Ruby Ru by Iris is sure to resonate with our guests. Located where old Dubai meets new Dubai, it is a meeting place that embodies the charm and togetherness of a Parisian sidewalk café.”
While inspired by the elegance of Paris, Ruby Ru by Iris is deeply rooted in Dubai’s bustling city life. Whether for a laid-back drink or a spirited evening set against skyline views, Ruby Ru by Iris invites guests to find magic in the little moments.
