Dubai, UAE – 30 April 2026
Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is set to take part in Dubai Restaurant Week 2026, offering residents and visitors a curated culinary experience across 13 of its leading restaurants. The citywide initiative, organised by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment under the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, will run from 1 to 17 May.
Widely recognised as one of Dubai’s premier dining destinations, DIFC will invite diners to explore specially crafted set menus across its restaurant portfolio throughout the 17-day event. Several venues will be participating in Dubai Restaurant Week for the first time, further enhancing the diversity and appeal of this year’s line-up.
A highlight of the programme is the value-driven dining offering, with select restaurants serving two-course lunch menus (starter and main, or main and dessert) priced at AED 125, alongside three-course dinner menus (starter, main and dessert) for AED 250. These curated menus represent a minimum saving of 30 per cent compared to standard pricing, and include vegetarian options and complimentary water.
Dubai Restaurant Week remains a key fixture on the city’s culinary calendar, celebrating the breadth of Dubai’s global gastronomy while delivering accessible fine dining experiences. Participating DIFC venues will present menus designed to showcase their distinctive culinary concepts and signature dishes.
“As a leading cultural and lifestyle destination in Dubai, DIFC is home to a diverse portfolio of globally recognised dining concepts,” said Saleh Al Akrabi, Chief Real Estate Officer at DIFC Investments. “Dubai Restaurant Week provides an ideal platform for our restaurants to present their offerings, and we are pleased to contribute to this citywide culinary celebration.”
Reservations for DIFC restaurants participating in Dubai Restaurant Week can be made via the DineOut feature on the Careem app, allowing users to browse menus and confirm bookings with ease. The platform offers flexible reservation options, including advance payment and instant confirmation.
Blending world-class dining with art, retail and lifestyle experiences, DIFC continues to position itself as a central hub for gastronomy in Dubai. The destination is conveniently accessible via the Dubai Metro, with Financial Centre Station located within walking distance, alongside integrated, ticketless parking solutions.
