Dubai Food Festival
Dubai has a diverse cultural hub where the food scene is lively, diverse, and possibly overwhelming due to its variety and choices. Dubai Food Festival (DFF) is an annual event that celebrates all aspects of gastronomy in the city.
This festival emphasizes the abundance of delicious food options in Dubai. Its specific dishes highlight the city’s culinary variety. Here are some highlights from the past years:
Dubai Restaurant Week
Popular restaurant outlets in Dubai including Bread Street Kitchen, Bella, Toro Toro, and Al Nafoorah collaborate to organize “Dubai Restaurant Week”. Here dinners can enjoy two-course lunches starting at AED 95 and three-course lunches starting at AED150 at participating restaurants. It offers special lunches and dinner menus, culinary master classes, limited edition launches, retail promotions, and the opportunity to take a virtual food tour around the world in Dubai.
Finding the Hidden Gems
A key goal of the festival is to allow visitors to explore Dubai’s culinary scene including its less well-known areas like backstreets and hidden downtown alleys which offer unique food experiences. Lesser known eateries participate in the festival aiming to impress visitors and gain their votes in order to be declared the winners of the competition.

DFF goes beyond just eating and satisfying your hunger; it encompasses all aspects of the culinary world. Under the foodie experiences of the festival, visitors can participate in culinary workshops, themed food tours, exclusive testing menus, and attend master classes hosted by famous chefs in Dubai. It provides a glimpse into the world of culinary creativity and innovation.
