The designer restaurants most worth a visit in 2026 are Beige Alain Ducasse Tokyo (Chanel), The Polo Bar in New York (Ralph Lauren) and Ceresio 7 in Milan (Dsquared2), which we could confirm as operating. Fashion houses have gone from haute couture to haute cuisine, and this list covers eight of them and what happened since we first published it.

The old title promised nine, but the original text listed eight, so we have kept eight. You will love how fine restaurants incorporate Chanel or Versace elements into the setting.
1. Chanel: Beige Alain Ducasse Tokyo
The restaurant sits on the 10th floor of the Chanel Ginza building and is a collaboration between Chanel and chef Alain Ducasse. The menu mixes French and Japanese ingredients, with dishes inspired by Chanel’s signature elements. A 2026 listing shows it in the Michelin Guide Tokyo with one star and a new chef since April 2026. Some sources cite two stars, so check the current guide before you book.
2. Versace: Vanitas, Gold Coast
Vanitas was one of the restaurants at Palazzo Versace on the Gold Coast, serving on dinnerware from Versace’s porcelain collection by Rosenthal. In 2023, Versace decided not to renew its branding agreement, and from August 1 the hotel became The Imperial Hotel. We could not confirm whether Vanitas still operates, so check with the hotel.
3. Armani: Armani/Nobu, Milan
The Armani/Nobu restaurant in Milan was formed by chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa and Giorgio Armani. We did not recheck its current status for this update.
4. Roberto Cavalli: Cavalli Restaurant & Lounge, Miami
The Italian designer Roberto Cavalli teamed up with chef Stefano Mazzi to create a Miami restaurant serving Italian cuisine with Tuscan influences. We could not confirm that it is still open.
5. Ralph Lauren: The Polo Bar, New York
The Polo Bar sits a few steps from Ralph Lauren’s Fifth Avenue flagship, at 1 East 55th Street, and is still listed there with evening hours Tuesday to Saturday. In July 2026 it was reported that the restaurant is in talks to relocate to the ground floor of a new office tower at 625 Madison Avenue, expected to open in 2029. Neither side has publicly confirmed it.
6. Bulgari: Rivea, London
Bulgari worked with Alain Ducasse on Rivea in London, with dishes inspired by the French and Italian Rivieras. We could not confirm that Rivea is still the restaurant at the hotel, so check before you book.
7. Dolce & Gabbana: Martini Bistrot, Milan
Dolce & Gabbana collaborated with Martini on a small restaurant and bar next to its menswear boutique on Corso Venezia in Milan. Its current status is unconfirmed.
8. Dsquared2: Ceresio 7, Milan
Ceresio 7 is on the penthouse floor of the Dsquared2 headquarters, with a restaurant, bar, terrace and two pools looking out over the Milan skyline. Its site names chef Elio Sironi and shows it operating.
