Known globally for exceptional service that goes beyond expectations, Jumeirah Group, the global luxury hospitality company and member of Dubai Holding, has bought its celebrated hospitality and culinary expertise to EXPO Dubai 2020 via a unique partnership with ‘Schengen Lounge’, the exclusive fine dining restaurant at the Luxembourg Pavilion.

Since its inception, Jumeirah Group has continued to lead in hospitality, expanding its luxurious Arabian, home-grown hospitality brand internationally while pushing the limits of design, culinary and service expertise for guests across the globe to enjoy. As a unique addition to the brand’s list of innovative offerings, Jumeirah Group’s exquisite concept at Schengen Lounge epitomises the exposition theme of ‘connecting minds, creating the future’, providing a new and innovative way for visitors to Dubai to discover the Group’s immaculate guest experience and signature dining.

Under the helm of Michelin-starred Chef Kim Kevin de Dood and Jumeirah Group’s sous chefs Mario Coelho and Sam Vossen, and in collaboration with Madinat Jumeirah and Jumeirah Hospitality, visitors to Schengen Lounge can enjoy mouth-watering fusion cuisine from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The collaboration brings together a myriad of European flavours and styles, reflective of Luxembourg’s international community and diversity, for an experience that transcends borders. Signature dishes include FeierstengsZalot, a traditional Luxembourgish beef salad and homemade Kniddelen dumplings served with a modern, international, and an unexpected twist. Visitors can also indulge in dishes such as green dill oil and fennel, roast lamb served with potato waffles and mushrooms, and Trout Meuniere with a ginger-infused cream.
