Being based in the Dubai Marina end of town and having school pick ups means we rarely get the opportunity to do a business lunch, what more drive all the way to DIFC or Downtown Dubai for one. The times that we do have the chance – it’ll just have to be in and around our neighbourhood. That, for us, and many mums who live in this area and all those who work here – would be the Dubai Marina, Bluewaters, JLT and the Palm Jumeirah. Here;s a list of all the business lunch offers that we have found in and around the Dubai Marina end of town.

Hopefully you’ll find time to sneak one in before, or after school pick ups! Follow us on Instagram as we explore the Business Lunches in Dubai!

Public Holidays : All venues highlighted in blue are still offering their business lunch offer. Call before you go.
