Shakespeare and Co., a cafe-restaurant concept established in Dubai by Dr Edward Saad in 2001, has flourished over the past two decades. The cafe has become a leading player in the casual dining sector, redefining and influencing the UAE’s catering landscape.
With 32 locations across the UAE and eight more franchised stores in the wider GCC, Shakespeare and Co. serves over five million customers every year. Its growing menu combines the classic and contemporary, drawing inspiration from the world’s most popular cuisines and attracting much acclaim along the way.
The restaurant’s eye-catching interiors, curated by Shakespeare and Co.’s in-house design team, combine elegance and cosiness and evoke the ambience of Parisian cafes of the past.
As well as its cafe-restaurant, Shakespeare and Co. is renowned for its patisserie and chocolate offerings, both of which can be purchased online. Using the finest and most exotic ingredients, Shakespeare and Co.’s highly skilled artisans create delectable treats, including classic French cakes, petit fours, ice creams, sorbets and gourmet chocolates.
Thanks to its commitment to producing the finest goods and delivering extraordinary dining experiences, Shakespeare and Co. is now very much a part of the fabric of UAE, becoming the go-to place for baked goods, indulgent deserts and a break from the busy city.
