Beach, food and fun- Dubai Food Festival’s Beach Canteen

Last Wednesday, the chubby hubby and I were fortunate enough to witness the kick off to the Dubai Food Festival’s first ever Beach Canteen. The venue was at Kite Beach near the beach road which boasts of a clear view of the Burj al Arab.

There are actually three beach canteen locations- Jumeirah 1 Open Beach, Kite Beach and Sunset Beach – and will be open from 27 February to Saturday, 8 March. Built from refurbished cargo containers, the Beach Canteen will serve up affordable fare daily from 16 restaurants across the Emirate.

When we got there and saw all the palatable possibilities, my pregnant heart did flip flops.

So if you are looking for a place to relax, hang out, PIG OUT, then head on out to the different venues of Dubai Food Festival’s Beach Canteens. Open Daily from 12 noon to 11 PM. They even have live music, table tennis and foozball!
