Named after Azerbaijan's vibrant capital, Baku Café is where traditional Azeri flavours meet modern Dubai dining. The sleek spot first welcomed guests in 2017, later making the move to C2 to elevate its game – now with a curated selection of grape to match the menu.

Daikan Izakaya is bringing its legendary ramen and izakaya-sharing dishes to the lively C2 district at City Walk, Dubai. After closing in DIFC last year, the Japanese spot launched its first licensed branch.

On their soft opening menu, there are new contemporary dishes like wagyu cheese steak sandwich, lobster pops and crispy tuna bites katsu.
More dishes are expected to be added in the near future. And you can wash it all down with a selection of house drinks.

L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele

L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele is probably the most famous pizza chain in the world. The C2 location boasts two floors, Burj Khalifa views and a selection of Italian grape. Pizzas – which range from the minimalist marinara to the burrata-loaded 'Burj Khalifa via traditional Napoletana' – are only briefly waved inside the blistering oven before they're slid onto a plate and served.
The pizzeria, which was shortlisted in the Time Out Dubai Awards' Best Pizzeria category, hails from Naples, where hungry tourists queue from 10.30am to be first through the door at its original Italian location. Luckily for us, the Dubai branches serve pizza that is just as tasty. And if it's good enough for Julia Roberts i, it's good enough for us.

This isn't your average Italian joint. Here, passion's plated up with a side of swagger, bold flavours take centre stage, and every bite feels like a love letter from Rome. Think silky homemade pasta, blistered pizzas straight from the oven, vibrant salads, and flame-kissed grills that mean business.
Cool off with tangy house-made lemonades, small-batch ferments, or cocktails worth lingering over. And don't even think about leaving without an espresso hit of our deep, Italian-style roasted coffee. It's all about good vibes, great company, and food that makes you want to twirl your fork just a little slower.

Rare is a 130-seater venue that's expansive, with a spacious shaded outdoor terrace for those who like to enjoy watching the city come to life at night.
Inside, there are pockets of booths which provide a bit of privacy away from the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant. You can choose from the finest cuts such as the oyster blade with pebre and Amarillo chilli or striploin with wasabi cream and crispy batter. Sounds good, right?

Metal band announce final album and farewell tour 43 years after forming
A thrash metal band credited with helping to develop and popularise the genre have announced they are retiring. Formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine, Megadeth are known as one of the 'big four' of American thrash metal alongside Slayer, Anthrax and Metallica. Their debut album had moderate success, but it was after signing with Capitol Records that the band took off. Some of their platinum-selling albums included So Far, So Good…So What, Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction. The line-up has changed several times over the years, with Mustaine the sole member of the band to remain throughout. The current members are also, bassist James LoMenzo, guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari and drummer Dirk Verbeuren. However, this week Megadeth announced that their upcoming 17th studio album and 2026 tour would be their last. 'There's so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional,' Mustaine, 63, said in a statement revealing the news about the band he began over 40 years ago. 'Most of them don't get to go out on their own terms on top, and that's where I'm at in my life right now. I have travelled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them. 'We can't wait for you to hear this album and see us on tour. If there was ever a perfect time for us to put out a new album, it's now. If there was ever a perfect time to tour the world, it's now. This is also a perfect time for us to tell you that it's our last studio album. We've made a lot of friends over the years, and I hope to see all of you on our global farewell tour. Don't be mad, don't be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years.' The statement concluded with: 'We have done something together that's truly wonderful and will probably never happen again. We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it's played, and we changed the world. The bands I played in have influenced the world. I love you all for it. Thank you for everything.' Megadeath was formed after Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica, the band he co-founded. They temporarily disbanded in 2002 but re-established two years later. Their most recent album, The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!, was released in 2022. As of 2023, the band has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. Their farewell tour dates are yet to be announced. Megadeth was noticeably absent from Black Sabbath's recent Back To The Beginning farewell concert. More Trending In an interview with Burn! magazine, LoMenzo was asked about the band being the only one of the traditional 'Big Four' that did not play. 'I'm going to let the cat out of the bag. The truth of the matter is, I don't believe that anybody asked us, which was fine,' he said. 'Not everybody gets invited to every party. But at the same time, when we were in Europe last week, David said that he was reaching out to everybody and telling them that we were in the neighbourhood and that we were close enough to come. And if they wanted us to, we could stay over for a few days and work it out…if they wanted us to. I don't know what our manager had accomplished with that, but it didn't get accomplished, so we just came home.' Got a story?

It is the newest alternative flavour to the classic orange that the brand has released in recent years.

Yuzu was once the "hidden gem of Japanese cuisine", and is a fruit that has exploded in popularity in recent years. McVitie's have claimed the new flavour is a "must-try for foodies, trendsetters and flavour chasers alike." Packs have been spotted selling at Tesco, which was shared excitedly to the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group. Looking freshly stocked, the image was captioned: "OMG New In tesco Jaffa cakes Lemon flavour!!" The post attracted a significant number of responses, shares and comments from other users. One shocked member of the group wrote: "Aww didn't see them when I went today, have to look tomorrow. "Sounds a lovely flavour." Another added: "Had the hot honey last week those were good next to try this one." Some were less sure about the new flavour: "Hummmm idk how I feel about these lemon yes but lemon with chocolate humm idk." SWEET TOOTH 'A tangy twist', cry fans over 85p packs of Jaffa Cakes in a unique flavour Tesco has the new McVities Yuzu Lemon Jaffa Cakes that went on sale for the first time yesterday for £1.50 per 10 pack. With a Clubcard, they can be bought for just 95p. They are described as "Light Sponge Cakes with Dark Crackly Chocolate and a Yuzu and Lemon Flavour Centre". They have chocolate on the top, sponge cake on the bottom, and a tangy yuzy fruity bit in the middle. Highlights of the product are stated to be having no hydrogenated vegetable, no artificial colours or flavours, being suitable for vegetarians and "not you average citrus". Jaffa Cakes' marketing manager, Jessica Woolfrey, said: "Jaffa Cakes have always been a firm favourite, and the Yuzu Lemon flavour taps into a trend that's captured foodie taste buds everywhere. "Punchy and refreshingly tangy, it's a daring take on the original that is set to surprise and delight Jaffa Cake fans." This flavour is the second limited-edition variant of the popular British sweet treat to have launched this summer. In June, McVitie's got on the hot honey trend by rolling out their brand new "swicy" Hot Honey Jaffa Cakes flavour. The same month, they introduced their first non-fruit flavour since the Jaffa Cake was made in 1927. It was the new Cola Bottle flavour, which became at various UK supermarkets – including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Iceland and Co-op.

Destination X thrown into chaos as police interrupts next episode of BBC show
Destination X fans were left in stitches as the BBC reality competition is thrown into chaos BBC's fresh globetrotting reality series Destination X descended into mayhem after Italian authorities disrupted production. Fronted by Welsh comedian Rob Brydon, the programme follows 10 contestants on an epic European journey aboard a coach with tinted windows, visiting stunning but enigmatic destinations. During each episode, participants face trials to secure hints that might assist them in solving one crucial puzzle: precisely where on Earth have they landed? Competitors build partnerships and feuds throughout their quest, all vying for a substantial monetary reward. At the conclusion of Thursday's episode (August 14) of the programme, audiences received a preview of the forthcoming instalment which spiralled into disorder when local authorities disrupted shooting, reports the Express. As the group neared a border checkpoint, Italian officers seemed to stop the coach, declaring "you have no permit". It was then that BBC production staff informed the team: "Just bear with us please, we're having some issues with local authorities". Police subsequently enquired: "How many people on the bus?" before a crew member was spotted conversing with them prior to yelling: "We need to find the paperwork now". It wasn't long before supporters flocked to X - previously Twitter - to voice their theories online. One viewer wrote: "Not the police getting involved, my word" whilst another quipped: "The next location is Venice jail [laughing emoji]" as a third added: "Messy TV at its finest [cry-laughing emoji]." However, some viewers were sceptical about the police intervention. One viewer scoffed: "Not falling for that! [cry-laughing emoji]" while another chimed in with: "Not real police I reckon." A third viewer noted: "That police happened on the US version too" and a fourth quipped: "Yeah sure there are cameras everywhere and the Italian police would definitely allow it to be filmed as they raid the bus." Executive producer Dan Adamson previously told the Mirror: "We crossed a lot of borders and there was always a chance that we were going to have officials trying to board the bus, and so we had to have plan Bs, which we had fake uniforms that we would then do a second boarding of the bus to try and pretend it was just part of the room.' The dramatic twist followed an episode that left fans feeling short-changed when Rob announced that no contestants would be leaving the reality show that night. Viewers quickly took to social media to vent their frustration. One disgruntled fan blasted: "What an absolute waste of an episode" and another concurred: "What an absolutely, pointless, waste of time this part of the show has been. Honestly don't see any point to it other than filler." Another viewer agreed, stating: "So if you skip this episode apart from the first five minutes you wouldn't miss any of the game process" while a third lamented: "This format is nonsense? Poor man's Traitors." Destination X is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
