Raemona Roundup // The Best Eats & Drinks to Book This Week In Dubai

From laid-back brunches and value-packed lunches to weekly dining deals and standout food moments, this week’s F&B roundup has plenty to bookmark.

Whether you’re planning a weekend catch-up or looking for an excuse to dine out midweek, here’s what’s worth checking out right now.

// Matcha at Peet’s Coffee

Peet’s is giving matcha lovers a new reason to pause with its all new Honey Cloud Matcha, a smooth, vibrant blend that pairs matcha with a touch of natural honey. The result is subtly sweet, gently energising, and easy to enjoy hot or iced. Whether you’re after a calm morning ritual or a mid-afternoon lift, this is one mindful indulgence that fits neatly into busy days.

// RedMart Launches at Kibsons

Kibsons has expanded its international grocery offering with the launch of RedMart, Morrisons and Iceland Foods on its platform, bringing Asian and British favourites to customers across the UAE. Shoppers can now access RedMart’s range of everyday Asian essentials alongside Morrisons’ own-label staples and Iceland Foods’ frozen favourites, all delivered with Kibsons’ signature speed and temperature-controlled logistics.

And guess what - they’ve also gone fully compostable with their delivery bags, switching to plant-based, biodegradable packaging as part of their ongoing push to make grocery shopping a little greener.

// Enjoy Homegrown at Time Square Center

As part of Times Square Center’s push for community-led, wellness-first experiences, homegrown Hola Zero Sugar Café (aka Hola Keto Desserts) has launched its new “You Move, We Brew” challenge. The idea is simple: hit 10,000 steps in a day, show your count at the café in Times Square Center, and you’ll get a free coffee, running until the end of the month. It’s a playful, feel-good way to encourage movement while rewarding mindful choices.

The café sits at the heart of the mall’s Picnic Square concept, designed to be more than a food court, and more of a social hub where “less fast food, more good food” is the vibe. Hola Zero Sugar Café fits right in with its keto-friendly, better-for-you menu, proving that clean eating can still be delicious. If you’re looking for a low-key wellness boost with a caffeine hit, this one’s worth the walk.

// The Best Roast in City at The Strand

The Strand is keeping the weekly dining calendar stacked with easy, crowd-pleasing deals. Sundays are all about comfort with a classic roast (think Yorkshire puds, roast veg and proper potatoes) from AED 90, while Tuesdays dial up the holiday vibes with Greek Tuesdays - two mains, a dessert to share and a bottle of wine for AED 330. Saturdays go full Mediterranean with Fed From The Med, offering a set menu paired with three hours of unlimited drinks or a soft package for long, leisurely afternoons.

Midweek is equally tempting: Wednesdays bring Steak & Wine from just AED 69 for steak frites and a drink, or AED 300 for a sharing feast with a bottle. Thursdays round things off with Tapas & Tipples - four tapas, dessert, a bottle of wine and complimentary cocktails for ladies - making The Strand a solid go-to for pretty much any day of the week.

// Great Deals at Ella’s Eatery

Ella’s Eatery is serving up laid-back, all-day dining deals that fit perfectly into the week. Mornings kick off with a new Breakfast Brunch, available daily from 8am to midday, offering a choice of three or five breakfast dishes with coffee or tea in a bright, breezy setting overlooking the Palm. It’s an easy, great-value way to start the day, whether you’re easing into the weekend or fueling up midweek.

Later on, things stay casual with Pizza & Wine on Wednesdays and Thursdays, Pasta & Wine on Mondays, and a lively Weekend Brunch from Friday to Sunday complete with live music and unlimited house beverages or soft packages, making Ella’s a solid go-to from breakfast through to brunch o’clock.

// Cornelia’s Craft Kitchen

Cornelia’s Craft Kitchen is rolling out a lineup of monthly dining experiences designed to cover everything from slow weekend mornings to smart weekday lunches. Highlights include the Breakfast Brunch Takeover every weekend, serving up a relaxed morning spread of either three or five breakfast dishes with coffee or tea, ideal for easing into the day without rushing.

During the week, the value-packed Business Lunch runs Monday to Thursday with flexible set-menu options, while Fridays are reserved for Teachers’ Brunch - a well-earned wind-down featuring sharing-style tapas and three hours of unlimited drinks. Consider your January dining plans officially sorted.

// UAE's Twin Chefs at The Coffee Club

The Coffee Club is starting the year with a limited-time takeover that brings a fresh Emirati flavour twist to the brand’s relaxed, welcoming café experience. Teaming up with the UAE’s youngest Emirati chefs, Abdulrahman and Maitha Alhashmi, better known as the UAE’s Twin Chefs, The Coffee Club introduces a limited-time menu that blends local favourites with the international brand’s welcoming, meet-up-friendly café experience. Available across all Coffee Club outlets, guests can enjoy à la carte dishes or try a curated 3-course set menu for only 159 AED for two. This exclusive collaboration has come together to celebrate everyday moments around the table, from a laid-back lunch to feel-good dinner plans.

The savoury lineup features dishes like the Twin Chef’s Signature Date & Lamb Meatballs and options of three loaded flatbreads: Chicken Shawarma, Beef Shawarma and a Creamy Short Rib option. These dishes blend the chefs’ most loved Emirati flavours with an Aussie-inspired flatbread twist. The menu also features signature gelato flavours from the Twin Chefs’ own concept (Savor by Twins), including Karak, Hibiscus, and a rich Saffron. The Twin Chefs x The Coffee Club limited-time menu will be available until 28 February 2026 across all Coffee Club outlets in the UAE.

// Buy The New Sage Dual Boiler Machine

Rounding things off for coffee enthusiasts, Sage took home the Best New Product Award at World of Coffee Dubai 2026 for its newly launched Oracle Dual Boiler machine. Recognised for its innovation and barista-level performance, the award cements Sage’s position as a go-to brand for elevating the at-home coffee experience.
