Supporting local? Check out these homegrown happenings in Dubai this week
From indie food brands and locally brewed coffee to creative workshops, boutique fitness, and thoughtful design, there's no shortage of talent being built right here, by the people who call this city home. These aren't just businesses, they're reflections of culture, community, and hustle. So this week, we're celebrating the best of local: bites to try, products to shop, things to do, and brands to support. Odeon Two local names, one epic collaboration. Beloved French spot Odeon has a brand new dish on their menu, and it's a collaboration so cool you don't want to miss it. Sample the brand new French onion soup burger – the first of a series created by Hani AlMalki, more popularly known as Bedouin Foodie on social media, of his own special dishes on select Dubai menus. A crazy cool fusion of two classics.
