This weekend marks the final opportunity for Dubai residents to experience some of the city's top restaurants at affordable prices. The Summer Restaurant Week (SRW), concluding on September 3, offers a 10-day culinary celebration, allowing food enthusiasts to savor signature dishes at Michelin-starred establishments and other well-known venues for prices between Dh69 and Dh150.
As part of the Dubai Summer Surprise program, SRW highlights the city's rich and varied dining landscape. It features lunch specials at Dh95 and dinner selections at Dh150, making it a popular choice among local food lovers. Some selected spots are also presenting enticing breakfast options at just Dh69. Vince Ristorante, an Italian restaurant in JBR, has reported a significant surge in customer interest and new patrons due to the campaign.
Dubai resident Aruba Khalid, who enjoys discovering new dining spots, recently visited the Michelin-starred 11 Woodfire for the first time, thanks to its Dh150 dinner menu. She expressed her satisfaction with the meal and plans to revisit with her husband. The extensive restaurant lineup, meticulously selected by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), has attracted a record number of participants, totaling over 60 this year, according to Sara Sultan Yousuf Hassan Janahi, senior manager of events planning.
Food aficionados can explore a diverse array of cuisines, from Middle Eastern and Italian to Indian and European, with participating restaurants including Arabian Tea House, Thiptara, Shamiana, and Beefbar Dubai. The complete list of participating restaurants is available on Open Table, facilitating easy bookings. Concurrently, the Dubai Summer Surprise concludes this weekend, featuring final discounts of up to 90% on various lifestyle, beauty, electronics, and fashion items across the city.
