Dubai's best foodie experiences in April

With a focus on sustainability, JA Beach Hotel has launched an innovative culinary experience aboard a luxurious boat called Sirene, with locally sourced ingredients. Savour the freshest seafood served with theatrical flair during this five-course feast, where each dish narrates a story about pressing environmental issues. Arrive at 7pm for a 30-minute moonlit tour of the property's marina area and then dive into delicious plates – which look nothing less than impressive works of art – of zesty scallops mousse, tiger prawns and pan-seared seabass for AED399 per person.

Conrad Dubai has launched a new campaign to reduce food waste during the Holy Month. Measures such as local sourcing, digital tracking to predict future procurement and production needs, composting leftovers and promoting plant-based plates have been put in motion to minimise negative environmental impact. Iftar here is priced at AED240 per person and features farm-to-table favourites, a dedicated vegan section and details about food-related emissions next to each dish on the menu.

There’s a new chocolate shop in town and they’ve got everything from velvety caramels to nutty pralines and glazed bonbons to make all your sweet dreams come true. Ganache Chocolatier at Alserkal Avenue is a homegrown concept that sources the finest ingredients from countries like Switzerland, Belgium and France to create premium handmade chocolates. All their offerings – over 100 varieties – are produced in-house in their factory, so you can vouch for their freshness and quality. Best of all? There’s a wrapping and customisation counter on-site with an option to pick and pack your favourites in a box of your choice.
