Taste of Dubai 2011

March is a happening month for Dubai, and what better way to hit it off than with Taste of Dubai. My favorite nibblefest annually turns Dubai Media City amphitheatre park into a smorgasbord of delicacies from all over town.

With DMC towering all around, chefs and restaurants offer their distinctive culinary icons in sample-sized but hearty morsels.

  2. Eh, I'd say the food prices in Dubai restaurants are fairly competitive.

    French restaurants? Hmm, there's Entrecote Cafe de Paris, Madeleine, Eric Kayser and such. It's not one of the dominant cuisines here, but there are quite a few places here serving French.
