Dubai Restaurant Week returns from May 1 to 17, bringing together more than 125 restaurants across over 25 cuisines in a city-wide dining promotion. Moreover, the event aims to give diners easier access to some of Dubai’s most in-demand venues through fixed-price menus.
The programme offers two-course lunches for Dh125 and three-course dinners for Dh250. Additionally, participating restaurants are curating menus around signature dishes, allowing diners to experience core offerings rather than limited selections.
Strong participation from top-rated venues
This year’s line-up includes more than 30 MICHELIN Guide-listed restaurants, including a one-star venue. Furthermore, the roster featured names recognised by Gault&Millau and MENA’s 50 Best, reinforcing the event’s growing profile.
High-profile participants include international concepts such as Nobu, Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants, Akira Back, and Izu Ani. As a result, diners gain access to premium dining experiences at lower entry prices than standard menus.
Booking platform and broader market appeal
Dubai’s local restaurant scene also maintains a strong presence, with homegrown concepts such as Girl & The Goose and Gerbou included in the campaign. Additionally, cuisine options range from Japanese and Italian to Indian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American.
A key update this year involves reservations being available exclusively through Careem DineOut. Therefore, diners can browse participating restaurants and secure bookings through a single digital platform.
Dubai Restaurant Week has expanded significantly since its early editions, which featured around 30 venues. Consequently, it has become one of the emirate’s most anticipated seasonal dining events, offering consumers a cost-effective way to explore Dubai’s expanding restaurant market.
