Here are 8 brilliant things to do in Dubai this week.

Sunday February 10

1. Dine at the hands of the world’s best chef

Torno Subito is inspired by Massimo’s childhood on the Italian Riviera, and takes its name from signs that would hang in the shop windows when their owners would take an extended lunch break. Roughly translated, ‘torno subito’ means ‘I will be right back”.On the menu, guests can expect ‘deeply personal nostalgia’ mixed with ‘decidedly avant garde’ dishes on a menu of Massimo’s favourite recipes.
