We are proud of our existing restaurant chains that are currently doing well in the UAE. Taking this success forward and using the experience to develop our new restaurants is our main aim for 2014. We are currently exploring locations for the new restaurants and feel this is a critical factor in terms of the potential footfall.

Due to the innovative projects that attract worldwide attention, the UAE is one of the most popular tourist destinations around the globe and we have seen major developments in the Food and Beverage market over the past five years. In addition to this, the UAE is home to a huge expat population leading a rapid paced lifestyle, often dining out and demanding international concepts with great value for money.

Crème De La Crème wants to take advantage of this growing market and expand its hospitality business as a result of the high foot traffic from both tourists and the local population. Crème De la Crème will target the full service restaurants positioned in the mid-end market segment.
