Dubai Restaurant Week is back, and if you have been waiting for the perfect excuse to finally try that restaurant on your list, this is it. For a limited time, some of the city's most talked-about dining spots are offering specially curated set menus at fixed prices, making it easier than ever to eat well without overthinking the bill.
Whether you are in the mood for a long, leisurely lunch or a dinner worth dressing up for, there is a table with your name on it. Here is where to go.
Le Petit Beefbar, DIFC
A laid-back spin on the beloved Beefbar concept, Le Petit Beefbar brings French and international flavours to DIFC in a setting that channels vintage brasserie charm with Art Deco touches. The menu leans into quality meat-led dishes and street food-inspired plates, making it a great pick for a relaxed but well-fed night out. Available daily, 8pm to 2am.
Fay @ Culinara
Chef Ali Elbourji brings a fresh perspective to Lebanese cooking at Fay, located inside the striking Culinara food hall at One Za'abeel, 100 metres above the city. The food is rooted in Lebanese tradition but reworked with a modern sensibility, and the views across Dubai make the whole experience feel that much more special.
AMARU Dubai
AMARU Dubai brings its bold Latin American cuisine to Dubai Restaurant Week with a three-course dinner menu priced at AED 250 per person. Set inside Souk Madinat Jumeirah, the restaurant pairs vibrant flavours like slow-cooked Asado Negro and Pacific Gold Ceviche with 360° projection mapping and a pulsing music programme, making it as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate.
Shang Palace, Shangri-La Dubai
One of Dubai's most respected addresses for Cantonese cuisine, Shang Palace has built its reputation on handmade dim sum and the kind of classical Chinese cooking that rarely cuts corners. This Restaurant Week, the kitchen puts forward an exclusive menu served at lunch and dinner, giving you a proper reason to finally get a table.
UNCUT, DIFC
New to DIFC's ever-growing dining scene, UNCUT brings a fresh take on international cuisine by weaving together European, Middle Eastern and Asian influences into a menu built for sharing. The food reimagines familiar flavours in ways that feel both unexpected and satisfying, all with a terrace view of the city skyline. A solid addition to this year's lineup.
Two Birds One Stone
Rooftop dining with a view and an Australian accent on the menu — Two Birds One Stone at the Sheraton Grand Hotel is one of those spots that works just as well for a relaxed midday meal as it does for an evening out. The Australian-inspired menu brings a laid-back confidence to the table, and the city views do not hurt either. Available for lunch and dinner during Restaurant Week.
Punjab Grill
Punjab Grill brings Indian cuisine to the table with real confidence, anchored by tandoor cooking and a menu that travels from street food classics to bold, spice-forward mains. Set inside Anantara Downtown Dubai Hotel, the open kitchen adds a nice energy to the room. A solid choice if you want Indian food that goes beyond the expected.
