One foodie who wholeheartedly believes the style of a space influences how people feel. One design devotee who adores bringing family and friends together around the table. One dream to open their own boutique café in Abu Dhabi, plus several years and the creation of the UAE’s most innovative and mysterious supper club, and you’ve got No. FiftySeven Boutique Café. In 2012, Buthaina Al Mazrui + Alamira Noor Bani Hashim co-founded The Dinner Club by No. 57 while beginning preparations to open their café. In just two years, their bold concept has grown into the most sought-after dinner invitation in the UAE. Each month, they transform unexpected locations into spectacular event spaces, where guests start the night as strangers and leave as friends. They meet and mingle with one another while enjoying a home cooked menu designed to complement the dinner’s theme. Buthaina + Noor have converted a construction site into a black-tie dinner, an empty floor of the World Trade Center into a boutique hotel, and have held a gourmet picnic at the fish market. It’s all about creating a unique and unforgettable experience for the lucky guests.
