THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25
This weekend marks the return of the long-awaited Dubai Food Festival, a highlight of the culinary year that kicks off its eighth edition with 17 days of gastronomic activity across the city.
Running from February 25 to March 13, the annual extravaganza includes three weekends of food and dining experiences, and this year focuses on four highlights of Dubai’s foodie scene: rich culinary diversity, authentic and homegrown cuisine, unique restaurant experiences, and exceptional value for money.
From street food sizzlers and family friendly fare to fine dining decadence, DFF also includes Dubai Restaurant Week, which features exclusive menus at more than 30 exceptional restaurants. Meanwhile, Foodie Experiences offers innovative dining concepts including Chef’s Tables, Masterclasses, and chef collaborations, while highlights like Etisalat Beach Canteen spotlights Dubai’s evolving international and local food scene, as well as an array of locally established homegrown brands.
