9 farm-to-table restaurants in Dubai for nourishing meals
Once upon a time it was fashionable to add the words 'farm to table' to a restaurant description. Just a way to attract more of an audience and to appear different, but now it's evolved and grown into a culinary movement, led by environment and community conscious chefs and restauranteurs who are bringing local farms and farmers into the spotlight. Think fresh, seasonal produce – organic vegetables, free-range and ethically-raised meats, and non-processed dairy. These restaurants in Dubai offer just that. Teible Teible at Jameel Arts Centre is the seasonal, farm-to-table restaurant you need to try this summer. The spot sources 95% of its ingredients from within the UAE – 60% of its fruit and vegetables are supplied by Sharjah's The Greenheart Farm; meat products, such as beef, lamb and camel are sourced from Home Meat Farm; ingredients such as lemon verbena herbs and mushrooms are collected from My Farm Dubai. Guests visiting will see Teible's eco-friendly ceiling made from superfine wood wool sourced from an FSC-certified forest, countertops made with a date seed-based material, and walls built using discarded palm trees from Abu Dhabi.

Astronomer gets Chris Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow to 'answer' questions after Coldplay controversy
In a surprising turn of events, Astronomer has hired Gwyneth Paltrow to 'answer questions' from the internet. Paltrow and Martin announced their split in 2014, after a decade of marriage. This comes after the company's now former-CEO was mired in controversy after being seen at a Coldplay concert with the firm's HR head. Paltrow, who is a popular actor, says in the video that she has been hired on a "very temporary" basis to answer common questions that people have been asking on the internet. While the star doesn't actually answer any questions or address any real concerns that netizens may have conveyed earlier, the actor does redirect the conversation to the products that the firm already offers. Watch the video below: Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. — Astronomer (@astronomerio) July 25, 2025 Just last week, Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron put in his resignation, according to a statement issued by the tech company. The company said on X, "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met." "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO," they said.
