Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Restaurant Secret’s Inc, the region’s largest & oldest F&B Incubator firm, is set to launch the region’s first, all-year-round pop-up venue showcasing new F&B creations within a vibrant, trendy bistro setting. Nestled in the heart of Al Wasl, Jumeirah, 1640 Bistronomy promises a gastronomical European bistro experience and will act as an evolving space that showcases its own portfolio of F&B brands, limited edition pop ups whilst also functioning as a solution for up-and-coming F&B brands to test their concepts.

Set to open on November 15th, 1640 Bistronomy will function as a gastronomical hub providing unique F&B solutions, operating as both a pop-up concept in the AM hours for local brands to takeover and trial menus and concepts, and an all-day dining restaurant in the PM-operated by 1640 Bistronomy.

1640 Bistronomy was inspired by the expansive pursuit of good food and drinks, and superlative F&B dreams. Supported by Founder Gabrielle Mather’s 27 years of experience developing more than 400 F&B businesses & brands for Dubai & the world, 1640 Bistronomy was built to provide Dubai with a multi-purpose F&B hub that offers superlative dining experiences, whilst nurturing entrepreneurial spirit by presenting an affordable pre-launch solution for start-up homegrown restaurants within a full-fledged experiential F&B unit.

The old world charm & romance of good F&B & an acute understanding of urban sophistication of Dubai is reflective at 1640”.
