Any culinary connoisseur can attest to the richness of Dubai’s restaurant scene. Much of it unfortunately took a major hit this year due to the pandemic though. To survive the slew of unexpected lockdowns, even the finest of Dubai restaurants have shifted to more COVID-friendly delivery options.
But now, six months in, COVID-19 restrictions have finally been eased, and things are looking up. Some of our favourite eateries re-opened their doors, with safety measures in place, of course.
Under directives from the Ministry of Health, restaurants are now able to seat at a full capacity. Social distancing is still a must, a two-meter distance must be placed between all tables.
Understandably for some people though, even with such measures, dining out is still too much of a risk; especially as coronavirus numbers surge once again. The good news is delivery options are now endless, so you can enjoy your favourite meals from the comfort of your own home.
