Celebrating summer with a seaside escape<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

If you want to escape Dubai this weekend to the UAE capital, then this is the place to go. Indulge in a summer of coastal celebration courtesy of Italian craftsmanship and seaside escapes. The Saadiyat Beach Club and Malfy Gin have collaborated as an ode to the renowned Italian philosophy la dolce vita (the sweet life). The beach club will be hosting a brunch that follows the theme of a Malfy farm. With a dedicated Malfy gin trolley for guests to enjoy a personalised gin and tonic. Alongside a seafood station and a selection of citrus-led sweets. Combining the essence of a farm and beach to build on the concept of sustainability and seasonal inspiration.<\/p>\n

Start the weekend off with a fiesta<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

The end of the work week calls for a lively celebration, which calls for a night out at Amaru’s Fiesta Fridays. Where Latin rhythms set the tone for a vibrant weekend ahead, and live tango performances provide much-needed entertainment after a week of drawn-out meetings. With flavours that celebrate the Latin American spirit, and savoury dishes such as Pacific Gold Ceviche, the Beef Empanada and more. Enjoy the height of fine dining this weekend for just Dhs250.<\/p>\n

Experience Dubai at its finest hour<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

Experience the relaxed ap\u00e9ritif culture of the French Riviera with Carine’s Golden Hour experience. Enjoy an unhurried experience and slow down with elegant French-Mediterranean sharing plates with the backdrop of the sun setting on the horizon. With dishes such as the indulgent truffle tart, salmon tartare with mandarin dressing and the crispy spicy calamari and zucchini. Whether you’re joining colleagues to celebrate the end of the work week, meeting friends to kick off the weekend or simply looking for a beautiful setting to enjoy the sunset, Golden Hour at Carine offers a fresh way to experience one of Dubai’s most-loved restaurants. <\/span>Available daily at Dhs128 from 4pm to 8pm.<\/p>\n

A treat for the caffeine lovers<\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

Cool down from the infamous Dubai heat with Caffine & Culture’s summer menu this season. Centred on the philosophy that coffee should be enjoyed in an unhurried manner – as opposed to the usual grab-and-go. Exploring aromas of freshly roasted beans that are versatile in order to suit differing palates.\u00a0 With four distinctive flavour profiles, including Watermelon, Peach Colombia, Lychee and Tobacco, each crafted through a considered co-fermentation process. If you’re looking to catch up with a friend whilst simultaneously fueling your caffeine addiction, this spot is for you.<\/p>\n
