Set menus for less
Dubai’s dining scene is getting a new festival, and this one is all about celebrating the restaurants that have helped turn Jumeirah Lakes Towers into one of the city’s most exciting food destinations.
Running from 29 May to 14 June, Taste JLT will bring together more than 25 restaurants across the neighbourhood, each offering specially curated two and three-course menus at set prices starting from just AED 50.

The event is designed to encourage diners to explore the district’s diverse culinary offering, from homegrown favourites and hidden gems to internationally inspired concepts serving authentic flavours from around the world.
Over the years, JLT has quietly built a reputation as one of Dubai’s most diverse dining districts. Its walkable layout, waterfront setting and eclectic mix of independent restaurants have made it a favourite among residents in the know.
Taste JLT aims to showcase that variety by transforming the neighbourhood into a self-guided food trail, giving visitors the chance to sample multiple cuisines and discover new favourites over the two-week festival.
Participating restaurants include popular names such as Bait Maryam, Canary Club, Chalco’s Mexican Grill, CQ French Brasserie, Daikan Ramen, Hawkerboi, Kima Izakaya, Maiz Tacos, McGettigan’s, Mythos Kouzina & Grill, Nola Eatery & Social House, Pitfire Pizza, The Black Sheep and The Mad Greeks, alongside several other local favourites.
Many of the participating venues are independently owned concepts founded by entrepreneurs and chefs who have helped shape Dubai’s evolving food culture.
The festival not only gives diners an affordable way to experience a range of restaurants, but also shines a spotlight on the businesses that contribute to the city’s reputation as one of the world’s most multicultural dining destinations.
Taste JLT runs from 29 May until 14 June. Diners can browse participating restaurants and explore available menus throughout the festival period.
With menus starting from AED 50, it may be one of the most affordable ways to eat your way around one of Dubai’s best food neighbourhoods this summer.
