Local tip for dining out

If you’re after a great meal in Dubai without the usual crowds, try visiting some of these top rated places during weekday lunch hours. Many restaurants in areas like JLT and Al Safa offer quieter dining experiences then, and you might even spot a weekday-only menu or deal. Also, try exploring side streets off the main boulevards in neighbourhoods like Business Bay , some well-rated spots are easy to miss but well worth the short walk. Keep an eye out for seasonal menu changes, which often happen around the cooler months from November to March, and you’ll get a taste of special dishes that don’t run all year.
