Dubai Restaurant Week has evolved into a full month-long dining celebration
Dubai Restaurant Week returned from May 1, 2026 much to the delight of foodies in the city. Initially set to run for just 18 days, the foodie treat has now expanded to a whole month ending on May 31, giving you even more time to discover the city’s top culinary hotspots. Guess it’s time to postpone that diet plan.
Over 100 restaurants across the city are participating giving you more than enough choices. For lunch, a two-course set menu is priced at a wallet-friendly Dhs125, while for dinner, a three-course set menu will set you back Dhs250, putting an affordable spin on Dubai date nights.
Guests can explore menus from some of the city’s most celebrated kitchens, from stalwart international imports to homegrown favourites.
New for 2026, bookings are exclusively available via Careem DineOut, making reservations even more seamless.
Which restaurants are taking part?
Whatever cuisine you’re craving, there are bound to be some choices.
Fine dining lovers will delight in seeing icons such as Zuma, La Petite Maison, Coya, Iliana, Gaia, Pierchic and Chic Nonna and Avli by Tashas taking part, with some offering dinner only, while others offering lunch and dinner menus.
If you’re after a meal with a view, At.mosphere Burj Khalifa is pairing French cuisine with sweeping Downtown vistas for dinner, while AURA Skypool Dubai is serving up lunch and dinner with vibrant Pan-Asian flavours and stunning Palm views.
