Introducing The Showhouse, a novel dinner and performance concept by Solutions Group (the group behind En Fuego and STK), an exciting new addition to Dubai Marina’s eating scene. The Showhouse, which can be found within the Intercontinental Dubai Marina, is set to usher in a new era of joyful drinking in the city with its mouthwatering food influenced by French and Mediterranean cuisine and its captivating, multi-sensory presentations.
