Solemann Haddad

Born and raised in Dubai to a French mother and Syrian father, Chef Solemann Haddad grew up at the crossroads of cultures, where family meals and everyday life were shaped by flavours from around the world. To him, there was never a single cuisine, only the vibrant mix he came to know as “Dubai cuisine”. Those early experiences continue to guide his cooking at Moonrise, where Middle Eastern, Japanese and French influences come together in a style that is deeply personal, full of character and a true reflection of the city he proudly calls home.
