Restaurants to try in Dubai this week

The heat may be relentless but so is Dubai's dining scene. This week's list is all about flavour, flair and a little bit of fun. From French seafood with Provençal polish to wagyu paired with wine that deserves a standing ovation. Whether you're after a beachside brunch, a pool party with bottomless everything or a dinner that feels like a holiday, here's where to eat this week Lobster Night at Café L'Occitane Just because you couldn't make it to the South of France this summer, doesn't mean you can't experience French flair at it's finest. Imagine a lobster beignet in one hand and and a glass of French fantasy in the other as the smell of lavender hangs in the air. Except, instead of being in a sun-drenched courtyard in Provence, you're in Dubai. The south of France lands in City Walk with Café L'Occitane's new Lobster Night. This four-course seafood showcase leans into Provençal charm with finesse and flavour. The beignet comes first, light and crispy, with a punchy basil and lime aioli. Then a crab and lobster cake alongside a fresh tomato relish. The main plate is a lobster tail dressed in garlic butter with mashed potatoes on the side. Dessert is a strawberry shortcake topped with lemon verbena Chantilly and basil sorbet, elegant without being overdone. Location: Café L'Occitane, City Walk Times: Monday to Friday, 5pm till close Cost: Dhs200 per person Contact: +971 4 403 2301 Wagyu & Wine Wednesdays at Akabeko Wagyu and wine on a Wednesday is what happens when the midweek slump gets an upgrade. This Wednesday, why not try the seven-course dinner at Akabeko's, which pairs rich wagyu flavours with off-menu wine selections. Your night will start off with Wagyu carpaccio and curry arancini, then prepare your taste buds for skewers, sushi and a seasonal steak. Two desserts finish it off, both made with roasted Hōjicha tea. Each week feels tailored and the wine pairings are refreshed monthly.

If your IG feed needs an update and your belly needs a bite to eat, consider heading to Praia's for their Secret Ladies Day. They turn Thursdays into a glam mix of poolside fun and California lounge energy. The vibe is sleek, the playlist is loud and the views stretch from the pool to the sea.

The Friday Night Spice Club offers a seafood-driven menu with smoky grills, spiced marinades and cocktails laced with botanicals. It's a sharing-style experience under the stars, with soft lighting, relaxed music and dishes that don't shy away from heat.
