Restaurants

Four chef nights, 6 to 25 November.

A Thai regional menu on the Palm, a Oaxacan supper club, a five-course surprise in Jumeirah 1 and a garden dinner at Expo City, from AED 290 to AED 495.

Four placesChecked 3 November 2026Prices in AED

Four set menus over the next three weeks, each cooked by a chef away from their usual kitchen or in a format that does not run every night. All four are booked in advance and priced per person.

They are listed by date. The supper club in Jumeirah 1 runs five evenings, so it is the easiest to fit in; the other three are single nights.

Hours and prices change. Check with the venue before you go.

The four, side by side.
