Russian chef Vladimir Mukhin will open Sakhalin Abu Dhabi 

The White Rabbit chef is behind the cool culinary concept.

Abu Dhabi is home to world-class dining destinations. Now, Sakhalin Abu Dhabi has been announced, and is a creative collaboration between restaurateur Boris Zarkov, chef Alexey Kogay and White Rabbit Family’s brand chef, Vladimir Mukhin. 

Inspired by Sakhalin Island, Russia, the location acts as a crossroads for two cultures. Sakhalin is an island in the Pacific Ocean, north of Japan. The brand can already be found around the world in cities including Bodrum, Moscow, and Istanbul. 

If the existing venues are anything to go by, Abu Dhabi is in for a terrific treat. Sakhalin’s menus around the world combine elements of Asia and the Mediterranean, from the cuisine to cooking techniques. Each dish aims to take diners on a discovery of flavours. 

Vladimir Mukhin is a Russian chef who has worked on the Sakhalin concept. He started his career when he was 12 years old. He is famous for being the head chef at White Rabbit in Moscow and Krasota Dubai. He also featured on the Netflix documentary, Chef’s Table. 

While the opening date and location for Sakhalin Abu Dhabi have not been confirmed, Sakhalin Dubai is also in the works. The venue will be located on J1 Beach, and include indoor and outdoor seats. The terrace boasts light blue and white seats on the terrace. The interior space includes a classy, contemporary look with a bar, countertop dining and plush sofas. Plus, a generous wine cellar and even a fish tank.
