Red Rock BBQ to Open at Ras Al Khaimah’s Jebel Jais in November 2025

Red Rock BBQ Opens This November

Red Rock BBQ will open in Ras Al Khaimah this November, adding a new dining concept to the Jebel Jais 2025–2026 season. Located on Jebel Jais, the UAE’s tallest peak, the restaurant introduces a fire-led menu directed by Chef Iker Zapata Errasti. It is positioned as a destination for visitors and residents engaging with the wider offerings on the mountain.

The space is designed around open-fire cooking and the use of locally sourced ingredients. The setting aims to connect guests with the surrounding landscape through an approach that highlights technique and the role of flame in preparation.

“At Red Rock, we wanted to create more than a meal. We wanted every visit to be a journey that immerses guests in Ras Al Khaimah’s extraordinary landscape, while celebrating the artistry and theatre of flame-led cooking,” says Nazli Sonmez Vallee, Chief Brand Officer at RIKAS Hospitality Group. “From the open-fire culinary experience to the mountain-inspired interiors, every detail has been carefully considered to delight the senses,” she added.

The opening aligns with Ras Al Khaimah’s ongoing development of its dining landscape. The emirate is working with international partners and chefs to expand the range of culinary experiences available, including concepts that integrate regional produce, modern techniques, and collaborative menus.

Visitors will be able to spend time at Red Rock BBQ in different ways, whether dining around the open flame, arriving for drinks at sunset, or choosing a later seating. The restaurant’s service approach and environment are curated to support these varied guest experiences.

Beyond its role as a dining venue, the restaurant contributes to Jebel Jais’ positioning as a location for both leisure and food-led activity. The menu will include ember-roasted meats and produce influenced by Mediterranean styles, with an emphasis on technique, ingredient selection and consistency.

"We are delighted to introduce Red Rock, a new barbecue dining concept at Jebel Jais, brought to life with the expertise of RIKAS Hospitality Group. This restaurant will elevate Ras Al Khaimah’s dining scene and offer residents and visitors even more exceptional experiences. We are especially excited to open in such an extraordinary destination, where life comes together,” says Donald Bremner, CEO of Marjan Lifestyle.

Red Rock BBQ will open this November, welcoming guests to experience the new dining option at Jebel Jais. Reservations are recommended.
