Sometimes it’s nice to take the kids for lunch and have them do something else, other than say……. sit at the table. There’s only so much colouring they can do before they start asking for the phone. Well, we all know that family brunches are fabulous for keeping kids entertained, but what if you don’t wanna do the whole shebang? Maybe you just want to have an easy lunch, and the kids could – say, do some pizza-making?
Lucky for us, there are a handful of restaurants in Dubai that offer pizza-making as well as a range of other cooking activities, with lunch. Here’s our little list. Enjoy!
