A key part of the two-week long event is Dubai Restaurant Week, when some of the best restaurants in Dubai curate menus and meal experiences specifically for the festival.

Gaucho opened its first Argentinian restaurant in London in 1994, taking inspiration from Argentina with a vision of bringing the world’s best steak to the UK. Our food has a contemporary global influence, based strongly around modern Argentina. Notably the best quality steak in the world, our beef comes from Argentinian, premium Black-Angus cattle bred at hand-selected farms.

Carnival by Tresind

It is a celebration of modern Indian cuisine. Dining at Carnival is a gastronomic fiesta that pushes boundaries to transcend into a nostalgic culinary experience, taking you back to days of yore.

Bleu Blanc

Michelin-starred American chef David Myers brings the rustic charm of a French farmhouse to Dubai in the form of Bleu Blanc. The highlight of the restaurant is its wood-fired grill, reminiscent of the hearth in a country home. The grill will also be taking center stage during Restaurant Week, with a selection of dishes including charred octopus and roasted sea bass.

Seven Sands

With the UAE’s rich coastal history, it should come as no surprise that Seven Sands has a great seafood selection.
