For when you need a break from the home or work office…

After a long time of working remotely for many of us, it’s nice to get a little change of scenery. Whether you’re working from home or back in the office, why not organise a lunch date with a friend to help change things up a bit?

You could even take your laptop and spend the rest of the afternoon working there.

Here’s 6 great lunch deals to try in Dubai this week…

Charcoal Garden

If you live or work around Media City, Charcoal Garden is a fairly new restaurant that needs to be on your visit list. The restaurant has a relaxed, sports bar sort of a vibe and there’s an excellent business lunch deal. Priced at Dhs48, you’ll tuck into fresh salads to start, a choice of two mains, plus a dessert. Dishes change every day.
