Dubai’s Moonrise and Beirut’s Beihouse are coming together for a one-night-only collaboration in Dubai. The dinner will take place on Tuesday, 17 November 2026, where Chef Solemann Haddad welcomes Chef Tarek Alameddine and the Beihouse team to Moonrise for an exclusive four-hands dinner.

The collaboration brings together two of the region’s highest-ranked dining destinations. Moonrise holds the No. 10 in MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 and has retained its MICHELIN star since 2023. Beihouse ranks No. 5 on the same list, earning the titles of Best Restaurant in Lebanon and Highest New Entry. Both chefs have also received One Knife recognition at The Best Chef Awards, with Tarek becoming the first Lebanese chef to receive the distinction in 2025.

While their culinary backgrounds differ, both chefs share a deeply personal approach to cooking, shaped by their upbringing, regional food cultures and a constant curiosity for ingredients and techniques.

Born and raised in Dubai, Solemann has developed his own interpretation of “Dubai cuisine”, bringing together regional ingredients, personal experiences and contemporary techniques to reflect the evolving culinary identity of his hometown.

Tarek’s cooking is rooted in the traditions of Aitat, the mountain village outside Beirut where he grew up surrounded by foraging, seasonal produce and the preservation of ingredients. On the night, guests can expect signature dishes from Beihouse, like the “Transparent Batata Harra”, Kibbeh Nayeh Tartare, and Shawarma with flaky steak.

At Beihouse, Tarek draws on those experiences to explore Lebanese cuisine through its ingredients, flavours and culinary traditions. Fermentation and preservation play a central role, supported by the restaurant’s dedicated research and development kitchen, where familiar ingredients are studied and approached in new ways.

Chef Solemann Haddad, Founder and Chef of Moonrise, said: “What I love about Chef Tarek’s cooking is how much of it comes from the food he grew up with, but he’s taken those ideas in a completely different direction through his work with fermentation and preservation. At Moonrise, I’m always exploring new ways to express Dubai through food. We have different starting points, and I think that’s what makes cooking together exciting.”

Chef Tarek Alameddine, Chef and Co-owner of Beihouse, said: “I grew up watching my grandmother ferment kishk on the rooftop in Aitat. Preserving ingredients was simply part of life, and those memories still shape the way I cook today. Chef Solemann has his own relationship with the food of Dubai, and I’m interested in exploring where our approaches meet. ” The dinner will take place at Moonrise, where both chefs and their teams will work side by side to create an experience specifically for the occasion.
