It is the last weekend for Dubai residents to try out some of the finest restaurants in the city at very economical prices. The 10-day Summer Restaurant Week (SRW), which ends on September 3, gives food lovers the chance to enjoy signature menus at Michelin-starred restaurants and other popular eateries at prices ranging from Dh69 to Dh150.
A part of this year’s Dubai Summer Surprise programme, the event celebrates the city’s diverse and dynamic dining scene. Serving up lunch deals for Dh95 and signature dinner dishes at Dh150, the SRW is a firm favourite among food lovers in the city. Select venues are also offering delectable breakfast menus priced at just Dh69.
One of the restaurants offering the breakfast menu is Italian eatery Vince Ristorante located in JBR. According to a restaurant spokesperson, the campaign has seen a tremendous response from diners and had brought in several new customers.

Dubai resident Aruba Khalid loves to explore new restaurants in the city. Earlier this week, she dined at the Michelin-starred restaurant 11 Woodfire for the first time and tried out the signature menu. “A friend asked me if I wanted to try it out because they have a dinner menu for Dh150,” she said. “Even though I had heard about the restaurant, I had never gotten around to trying it. So this was a good chance to do so.”
She said she thoroughly enjoyed the meal and already had plans to return. “I want to bring my husband and come back here,” she said. “I am glad that I got to try this place out on a budget.”
The expansive list of restaurants has been carefully curated by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) and according to a spokesperson, drew unprecedented interest from restaurants. “We have over 60 participating restaurants this year,” said Sara Sultan Yousuf Hassan Janahi, senior manager of events planning. “This is the highest number of participation we have ever had. These restaurants are partners of ours and continue to associate with us throughout the year.”
Foodies can enjoy a wide variety of cuisines ranging from Middle Eastern and Italian to Indian and European. Restaurants participating in the campaign include Arabian Tea House, Thiptara, Shamiana and Beefbar Dubai. The full list of restaurants can be found on Open Table, which will also allow diners to make bookings.
This weekend also marks the end of the DSS, which will bring with a final weekend of discounts of up to 90% across several leading lifestyle, beauty, electronics, and fashion brands across Dubai.
