Renowned Nigerian-born chef Izu Ani, celebrated for his culinary prowess at La Petite Maison and La Serre Bistro & Boulangerie in Dubai, is gearing up to unveil his latest venture – Maison La Plage. Nestled on the pristine shores of Palm Jumeirah, this beach club promises to transport visitors to the sun-kissed landscapes of the South of France, offering not only a scenic retreat but also a delectable taste of Mediterranean cuisine.

Chef Izu Ani’s culinary journey reflects his passion for food, culture, and language. Having collaborated with culinary luminaries like Philip Howard, Jacques Chibois, and Pierre Gagnaire, Ani has honed his craft, infusing his creations with a blend of expertise and cultural richness. Departing from Emaar Hospitality’s La Serre Bistro & Boulangerie in 2016 marked a new chapter, leading to the establishment of successful ventures such as Izu Brasserie, Izu Bakery, Carine, Gaia, and Fika.
