Have a holly jolly festive time out at this casual-premium French bistro in Downtown Dubai.

The holiday season is a time for catching up with friends and family, treating the kids, or even getting better acquainted with the in-laws. A delicious meal out complete with warm interior and even warmer service can really tick all the boxes.

It has never been easier to find enticing, gluten-free, and plant-based dishes in Dubai.

Among all the oat milk lattes and the plates of non-dairy cakes and the Instagram-breaking plant-based burgers, it is sometimes easy to forget what is actually behind veganism. Bounty Beets at the Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre in Garhoud is a great reminder.

How do you make a Sunday family brunch even better? Add a side of live entertainment of course.

If you're looking to close the weekend with family, head to the vibrant The World Eatery at Sofitel Dubai The Palm for their Family Fiesta Brunch: a great time out complete with free-flowing drinks, music, children's activities, and a freshly prepared buffet with influences from Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

We had the opportunity to try out this colourful brunch in Dubai, and here are our thoughts!

If you live in the city, you would know that a Ladies Night out is tradition for expat women.

For a much needed mid-week catch up, gather the girls and take the night off with an authentic Italian Ladies Night in Dubai at Rosso, located in Amwaj Rotana Jumeirah Beach Road.

Rosso is an established venue at Amwaj Rotana, a traditional Italian brassiere with fabulous food and service. They've introduced a great new Ladies Night concept that is just too good to not share.
