Restaurant and cafe fit-out in Dubai
Food and beverage fit-outs carry more regulation and more services than almost any other commercial space. The kitchen, its extraction and drainage, and the approvals that come with them shape the design long before the seating and finishes.
Next step
Tell us the concept, the unit and whether it has an existing kitchen. We match you with F&B fit-out contractors.

- Front-of-house layout and seating
- Commercial kitchen layout and equipment coordination
- Kitchen extraction and fresh-air systems
- Grease traps and drainage
- Hygienic wall, floor and ceiling finishes
- Bar and counter joinery
- Lighting and acoustic treatment
- Authority and landlord approvals
The kitchen decides the plan
Where the kitchen goes is limited by where extraction can exit the building, where drainage and grease traps can connect, and where gas, if used, can be supplied. Those constraints are found in the landlord's base-build drawings, so they are reviewed before a concept is drawn. A beautiful dining room planned around an impossible kitchen location wastes weeks of design.
Hygiene is built in
Food areas need washable, non-absorbent finishes, coved junctions between floor and wall, and separate hand-wash points, and they are inspected against food-safety requirements before the outlet can open. These are not upgrades; they are part of a compliant kitchen and belong in the base quote.
Front of house sells the concept
Seating density, acoustics and lighting decide how the space feels and how many covers it turns. Hard finishes look good but make busy rooms loud, so acoustic treatment is worth budgeting from the start. Counter and bar joinery takes daily abuse and should be specified for it.
- Extraction route confirmed before concept
- Grease trap and drainage connections planned
- Food-area finishes in the base specification
- Acoustic treatment budgeted early

03QUESTIONS
- Do you coordinate kitchen equipment?
- Fit-out contractors coordinate the services the equipment needs — power, water, drainage, gas and extraction — with your equipment supplier. Agree early who supplies and who installs each item.
- Can an existing restaurant be refitted?
- Yes. Taking over a previous F&B unit can save on extraction and drainage, but the existing systems must be inspected to confirm they suit your menu and capacity.
