Cannes celebrity hotspot Baoli is opening its doors in Dubai. The restaurant-cum-nightspot is one of the French Riviera’s most famous party spots, and has welcomed the likes of Bono, Jay Z and Eva Mendes in the past. Baoli's Dubai outpost has been in the works for some time, and it looks set to open its doors later this year at the <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/business/banking/abraaj-asked-to-vacate-a-difc-office-by-end-of-the-month-1.774362">Gate Village</a> 11 in Dubai International Financial Centre. While details on the venue are being kept under wraps, the ninth-floor spot is likely to follow a similar concept to its Cannes flagship – a restaurant, bar and some form of outdoor terrace. The food at Baoli is a fusion of Mediterranean and Asian fare, with a particular focus on fresh seafood. Baoli will be in good company in Gate Village 11; <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/food/popular-new-york-restaurant-and-celebrity-hot-spot-indochine-is-opening-in-dubai-1.886889">New York celebrity hotspot Indochine</a> is also set to open its first international branch there later this year, alongside Madrid favourite Amazonico.
