Whissle is a Dubai based full service boutique hospitality company founded by Markus Thesleff and Ramzy Abdul-Majeed, who are the co-founders of the multi-award winning OKKU Luxury Japanese Restaurant and Lounge in the city (www.okku.com).
Whissle is committed to creating and developing exciting and dynamic hospitality projects including managing the expansion of the award winning OKKU brand. Following its success in launching OKKU, Whissle has also launched Sophie’s (www.sophiesme.com), a brand new gastro-cafe concept located on the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai with plans to open another six Sophie’s outlets in the UAE alone by the end of 2013. Sophie’s will add a new flavour to the hospitality industry by providing a healthy fresh and natural home-style dining option.
Whissle’s latest venture is RIVA Ristorante, Bar and Beach (www.riva-beach.com), located in Building 8, The Shoreline Palm Jumeirah. It offers an innovative and unique new dimension to Dubai’s beach scene by being the first standalone independent destination to provide a chilled out, stylish and relaxing atmosphere.
