Dine from Dhs125 at these top restaurants this Dubai Restaurant Week

Your tastebuds (and your wallet) will thank you this Dubai Restaurant Week…

Dubai Restaurant Week is back in full swing and bringing deals you can’t miss this summer. Running until May 25, this is the best way to dine at some of the best, most expensive restaurants in Dubai, but for less. Tuck into two-course lunch and three-course dinner menus for a fraction of the original cost at some of the most-talked-about venues in the city – more than 100 of them to choose from this year.

The deal…

Each restaurant will present an exclusive set menu featuring a two-course lunch for Dhs125 or a three-course dinner for Dhs250 per person. Bookings are now open, and you can make yours on Visit Dubai or the Dubai Restaurant Week official booking partner, OpenTable. Due to limited-time menus and high demand, early reservations are highly recommended.
