Are you ready to experience the most hotly anticipated launch of the year? Time Out Market Dubai has announced its opening date – and there’s not much longer to wait.
Yes, it’s official. Time Out Market Dubai will be throwing open its doors at Souk Al Bahar on Wednesday April 7, and there’s absolutely loads to look forward to.
We’ve handpicked 17 home-grown restaurants to showcase their outstanding dishes at the market, so if you love delicious, innovative and utterly brilliant food, then you’re in the right place.
From pho to bao, ramen to ribs, desserts and coffee to pizza – and a whole lot more besides – the variety, all from Dubai restaurants, is vast.
Top names in the city opening in the Market include Masti, BB Social Dining, Vietnamese Foodies, Pickl, Pitfire, Brix, Nightjar, Reif Japanese Kushiyaki, Little Erth by Nabz&G, Scoopi Café, Long Teng and Al Fanar Restaurant.
And in exciting news there will be four brand-new concepts opening too – including folly Workshop by Nick & Scott, Fulvio’s, Two Leaves by Project Chaiwala, Local Fire by The Mattar Farm, and Liban by Allo Beirut.
There will also be three bars, showcasing mixed drinks from Time Out Markets around the world, as well as a special grape bar.
Spread over 43,000 sq ft at Souk Al Bahar in Downtown Dubai, there will be a huge, airy space indoors for dining, which will offer stunning views of Burj Khalifa through a high glass ceiling.
Fancy dining al fresco? There’s an expansive 3,000 sq ft terrace that wraps around the outside, with superb views of Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain.
Time Out Market Dubai isn’t just about food though – expect culture and entertainment on top of all the lip-smacking eats.
The market will be home to an art installation from Tarsila Schubert – a Brazilian-born street artist who’s now a UAE resident. The name may be familiar to art fans, as Schubert is famed for being the first female artist to paint a wall in Amman, Jordan, in celebration of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, so get your camera phones ready to click a snap of her mural at the market.
Plus, when restrictions are eased there will be everything from live music to open mic nights, poetry readings, comedy shows and more on a special stage inside the market.
Due to current guidelines, the market will open with reduced capacity, with carefully planned social distancing measures in place, while contactless payment will be available on the English and Arabic apps.
