Fancy dining around Dubai with FooDiva?

dine-around

‘Fun is the new fine dining’ is an intimate and mystery dining experience tasting handpicked dishes from three best-in-class restaurants in Dubai – all in one night by FooDiva herself as your personal guide. The upcoming series of #DineAroundDubai events showcase a new restaurant itinerary. What can you expect?

  • Each of the three high-end restaurants serve a different course and cuisine, with platefuls of fun foodie trivia by FooDiva.
  • Start the evening at our first secret restaurant with Ruinart Champagne and canapés.
  • The evening progresses with signature dishes at each of the three restaurants, presented by the chefs and paired with wine courtesy of MMI. A sommelier from The Tasting Class will explain the wines.
  • At the last mystery restaurant over desserts, we will showcase the art and science of tea pairing with the founder of Dubai-based premium artisan tea producer and retailer, Avantcha Tea.
  • All restaurants are in close proximity – with car transfers provided.
  • The evening starts at 6.30pm and will end at approximately 10.30pm in a different venue to the first restaurant. The meeting point of the first restaurant will be advised in advance. The rest will remain a secret!
  • Cost: AED850 per person to include all food, Champagne, wine and car transfers. All guests will receive a gift bag with vouchers from MMI, Le Clos and Al Hamra Cellar, as well as delicious goodies from premium artisan producers Avantcha Tea, Lakrids by Johan Bülow gourmet chocolate liquorice and Protein Bakeshop guilt-free truffles.
  • Only 12 spots available! Advance booking with pre-payment is required.
  • Note: restaurants do change to retain an element of mystery.
  • Monviso WaterStay tuned for new #DineAroundDubai & #ThreeChefsDinner experiences in 2019.

    Hi,

    Can I join a planned tour as a solo diner along with other people who sign up or are they private tours for groups that come together?

    thanks
    Hala

    • FooDiva July 3, 2015 at 5:56 pm

      Yes of course you can join in Hala. Anyone can sign up. Each dine around is for up to 12 people 🙂 Thanks.

    Good afternoon,

    Do this event cater also for vegetarians?

    Sounds very interesting, really like the concept

    Thank you and best regards?
    Nadege

    • FooDiva November 16, 2015 at 2:58 pm

      Hi Nadege – whilst we do cater for a few dietary requirements, we’re unable to make the event completely vegetarian as it wouldn’t be representative of each restaurant’s signature dishes.

    I would be interested in joining to a venue that serves a variety of GLUTEN FREE besides ‘usual rice cakes’.
    I have both gluten and salicylates sensitivity – dining out can be daunting.

    • FooDiva January 18, 2016 at 4:51 pm

      Hi Chelsea. It won’t be on the 12th sadly. I am looking at 7th March TBC. Do you live in Dubai or are you a visitor?

    Hi Samantha,

    Just a note to say thank you for a fantastic evening.

    It was such a great experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the selection of restaurants. Looking forward to the next event ..

    Best wishes

    Dear Samantha,
    I am interested to join during weekend, National day long weekend as I am based in Abu Dhabi.
    Have a great day and kind regards,
    Elena

    • FooDiva November 23, 2016 at 12:38 pm

      Hi Elena,

      We don’t have one over those dates. Dine arounds are typically on a week night. If you can’t make 28th November, the next experience will be on the 30th January. Alternatively if you can get a group of eight people together I can organise one just for you, at a date that works for you.

      Thanks,
      Samantha

    Hi there,

    I’m wondering if you have a dine around planned at some point between 22nd Feb and 3 March?

    Thanks,
    Xanthe

    • FooDiva January 22, 2017 at 2:30 pm

      I’ve emailed you directly Xanthe 🙂

  9. Suzannah October 31, 2017 at 10:32 pm

    Hi, would you let me know when the next available date is please?

    Thanks

    Suzannah

    • FooDiva November 1, 2017 at 10:09 am

      Hi Suzannah – I have just set the date. 29th January next year. Does that work for you? If you’re able to attend, please use the booking link on http://www.foodiva.net/events Thanks 🙂

  10. Smeetha January 25, 2018 at 3:45 pm

    Hello, I’m interested in this with my partner, but he doesn’t eat any fish or any fish derivative. Can this experience be tailored for him around that requirement?

    Thanks

    • FooDiva January 25, 2018 at 3:49 pm

      Hi Smeetha. Yes of course 🙂 We can tailor the menu to dietary requirements. Thanks.

    Dear Samantha,

    Just wanted to thank you again for organizing such a fantastic “Dine Around Dubai” event last evening.

    Absolutely loved the selection of restaurants and menus, as well as the incorporation of European Cheeses of course. ?

    Cheers,
    Lavina

    • FooDiva March 12, 2018 at 12:06 pm

      So sweet of you Lavina to leave such a thoughtful comment on the website itself. A pleasure to host you. The success of any dine around is down to the guests and their great company 🙂 Until the next one! Cheers, Samantha.x

I’d love to receive your feedback, so feel free to comment any time.
