This year’s edition features a wide selection of restaurants recognised by leading culinary guides, including MICHELIN, Gault and Millau and MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants. Diners will have access to menus from more than 30 MICHELIN Guide listed venues, including one Michelin starred restaurant.

Alongside these global names, standout homegrown concepts are also featured, including Girl and The Goose Restaurante Centroamericano by Gabriela Chamorro.
Seamless Booking with Careem DineOut
New for 2026, bookings are fully integrated with Careem through its DineOut feature. This allows diners to move easily from browsing to reserving tables, while helping participating restaurants reach wider audiences through digital engagement.
“This year’s Dubai Restaurant Week demonstrates how much Dubai’s culinary scene has grown and the role it plays in shaping its future. When we first launched it, it featured only 30 restaurants, and now we have more than 125 participating restaurants championing an exceptional mix of homegrown and international venues, making Dubai Restaurant Week one of the most anticipated events in the city each year.” He added: “Thanks to our partnership with Careem, the booking journey is now more seamless than ever, connecting diners directly with the experiences that they are looking for.”
