Hop On a Culinary World Tour, But Without Leaving Dubai

30 May 2025

Yes, it is that time of year when the pavements sizzle, the sunglasses fog, and words “l'm not going out” mark not laziness but common sense. But staying in does not mean missing out — not in this city.
As the temperature climbs, so do the culinary opportunities. The A/C is blasting, the crowds have thinned, and if you are the kind of person who prefers your adventures served medium-rare with a side of truffle gnocchi, then congratulations — you have come to the right place.
June is no time for leisurely strolls or long-haul flights. It is, however, the perfect time to broaden your culinary horizons. Enter Restaurant Month at JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai, back again with a bang, a bite, and some very generous offers. From June 1 to 30, eight of the hotel’s award-winning restaurants are laying out the world on a plate — minus the jetlag, and overpriced airport sandwiches.
So, what is in there to expect?

Fine Dining — Prime68

Offer: 245 AED for a three-course meal

Prime68 Steakhouse

Let's begin at the top — literally. At Prime68, the views stretch across Dubai’s skyline, and the flavours are just as high-reaching. The award-winning steakhouse is serving a three-course set menu that feels far too luxurious for 245 AED.
Starters include French Onion Soup, Truffle Gnocchi, Caesar Salad, or Prime68 Steak Tartar. For the main event, choose from Roasted Loch Duarte Salmon, Pan-Fried Corn-Fed Chicken, Stanbroke Australian Black Angus, or even AACO Wagyu MB5 — because subtlety is overrated. End the meal with Manjari Chocolate or a proper Vanilla Crème Brûlée. It is elegant, indulgent, and possibly a little too good to be legal.

India — Rang Mahal

Offer: 145 AED for a three-course meal

Rang Mahal

Bold, bright, and brilliantly spiced, Rang Mahal is a sensory celebration of Indian cuisine. Begin with starters like Chit Chat Aur Chat or Tandoori Paneer before moving on to the serious stuff — Butter Chicken, Malai Kofta, or Lamb Rogan Josh, paired with Cumin Rice or Tandoori Bread. A range of sides are available for those who can't help but build a mini thali. For dessert, Rose Bapa Doi and Masala Chai Brûlée await — because even your sweet tooth deserves a cultural moment.

Thailand — Tong Thai

Tong Thai

Step into Tong Thai and you are immediately transported — not just by the décor, but by the deeply aromatic dishes that pack a flavour punch. Begin with Tom Yum Kung, Yum Som O (pomelo salad), Som Tum Malakor Kung (green papaya salad), or Larb Gai (minced chicken with herbs). Mains are no less generous: think Gaeng Kiew Wan Gai (green curry), Massaman Nua (beef curry), or the eternally comforting Phad Thai Kung Sod. End on a high with authentic Tub Tim Krob (water chestnut dessert) or the mango-glorious Khao Niew Ma Muang.

Japan — Izakaya

Izakaya

Casual, quirky, and always buzzing, Izakaya offers a three-course Japanese feast in its signature upbeat atmosphere. Start with Edamame, Miso Soup, or Seasonal Tempura. The star of the show is the Izakaya Uramaki — a selection of tuna, salmon, and avocado sushi rolled to perfection. Dessert comes in the form of Yuzu Cheesecake, proving once and for all that citrus and umami are soulmates. You will leave happy, full, mildly addicted to wasabi, and willing to finally make the trip to Tokyo real.

Italy — Positano

Offer: 145 AED for unlimited pizza, beverage, and dessert

Positano

Pizza lovers, this one is for you. At Positano, just 145 AED will get you unlimited access to the stone oven-baked pizzas of your dreams. From Diavola to Quattro Formaggi, Bufalina to Frutti di Mare, every bite is like a Vespa ride through the Amalfi Coast. Dessert options include two scoops of creamy Gelato, a classic Tiramisu, or a silken Panna Cotta. There is also a beverage included — because hydration is very Italian, especially when it is sparkling.

Europe — La Farine

Offer: 145 AED for a three-course meal

La Farine

Chic, contemporary, and very Parisian, La Farine is where you go when you want to feel like a lifestyle influencer but still eat properly. The three-course menu includes starters such as French Onion Soup or Niçoise Salad, followed by mains like Norwegian Salmon, Roasted French Corn-Fed Chicken Breast, or a Wagyu Striploin — with steak fries, naturellement. End your meal with your pick from La Farine’s infamous dessert counter.
Crave something a little different?
Here you go with even more options to choose from.

Bridgewater Tavern

Offer: 145 AED for any burger + two pints

Bridgewater Tavern

Pub vibes, elevated. Enjoy any burger from the menu — juicy, perfectly stacked, impossible to eat politely — with two pints included. Great for when you want dinner to come with a side of sport and zero judgement.

Kitchen6

Offer: 145 AED for a buffet

Kitchen6

Still hungry? Wander over to Kitchen6, the hotel’s legendary international buffet, where continents collide across multiple cooking stations. Salads, starters, mains, desserts — no rules, just your plate, your pace, and probably several returns to the station.
