Residents and visitors will also be able to take advantage of exclusive offers by purchasing the DFF Pass on sale in early 2018 offering citywide deals and promotions throughout the DFF period. Highlights of the 2018 edition will also include Beach Canteen, Hidden Gems, Taste of Dubai, and Dubai Restaurant Week. Dubai Restaurant Week is a ten-day event—taking place from 22 February to 3 March 2018— that is set to provide both residents and tourists with the opportunity to experience a bespoke three- course meal at 15 of the city’s finest restaurants, for just AED 199 per person.
For those looking for a true taste of haute cuisine, the likes of Jean-Georges and Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen will be sure to live up to high expectations. Scape Restaurant and Bar, which sold out all seatings at last year’s edition, is also back to offer its exquisite Cali-fusion cuisine. Diners can embark on a culinary journey across the world – tour the Mediterranean when dining at Villa Beach; feast like a Maharaja at Jodhpur Royal Dining; and dive into authentic Asian flavours at Wakame. Meat lovers can sink into succulent Argentinian steaks at Asado, while Rockfish andThe Atlantic are set to bring together a variety of delicious seafood on your plate.
While tucking into sumptuous meals, diners can also feast their eyes on spectacular city views at the likes of folly by Nick & Scott at Madinat Jumeirah, Asia Asia at Pier 7, or Simply Italian at Club Vista Mare, Palm Jumeirah. While Dubai fine dining classics such as Pai Thai are a part of Dubai Restaurant Week, this year’s line-up also features new culinary gems like LIMA Dubai and Toro + Ko.
