After the success of BB Social Dining at Time Out Market, co-founders Alexander Stumpf and Spero Panagakis has opened a brand new unit at Nakheel Mall’s Depachika food hall on Palm Jumeirah.
Panagakis spoke to Caterer Middle East about why the new launch made complete sense. He said: “With the success of Time Out Market in Souk Al Bahar and the growing trends of upscale food halls, it made complete sense to open in Depachika at Nakheel Mall. Further to our previous expansion, and since BB Social is all about inclusion, we wanted to reach a new demographic in a dry environment, which Depachika has developed beautifully.”
According to Panagakis, that is exactly what BB Social Dining is about. He said: “Our brand was created years ago as a casual dining destination to welcome the various communities of Dubai, a place where everyone can come as they are, curating their own dining experience freely, without protocol. We are proud to offer a slightly refined BB menu celebrating bites, baos and bowls as well as a great collaboration with Lyre’s Non-Alcoholic Spirits specialising in zero-proof cocktails.”
As well as BB Social Dining’s modern eastern cuisine and non-alcoholic cocktail trolley by Lyre’s, there is also a children’s menu. BB Social Dining at Depachika Food Hall is open daily from 10am to 10pm.
