Dubai locals throng to Beach Canteen for food, entertainment, and celebrations

 


Residents flocked to the Dubai Food Festival, which began on Friday, the first day of Eid Al Fitr. Visitors were spoilt for choice as they sated their cravings with a vast selection of gastronomic options at Etisalat by e& Beach Canteen.

Etisalat by e& Beach Canteen, a component of Dubai Food Festival (DFF), comes back this year to celebrate the special 10th edition of DFF, which includes 17 days of food and entertainment.

The characteristic shipping containers used by the pop-up concept are famous for being turned into food stands. This event is free to attend and offers a fun beachside setting for friends, families, and foodies to enjoy the outdoors through can't-miss activities at each of its zones, each of which promises a distinctive experience.

The Beach BBQ zone will deliver the beach-side grilling vibes one likes as one strolls around the food bonanza. Visitors can choose from a variety of fresh-off-the-grill dishes in the zone, which is devoted to a variety of grilled treats.

Here are some of the Beach Canteen's top attractions, including distinctive restaurants and engaging events.

One of the places on the list you really must see is Alien Burger. Their limited-edition Holy Mushroom Sliders cost Dh49 and include two sliders with truffle mayo, a Wagyu burger, a Portobello mushroom, white and yellow cheddar cheese, and handmade mushroom sauce.

The black and gold burger costs Dh59 and consists of two Wagyu beef patties, truffle mayo, wild mushroom, and onion jam, all of which are topped with American cheese. The bun is made of black charcoal and is sprayed with edible gold.

Children must sample their Black vanilla ice cream, which costs Dh17 and is made of charcoal. It is prepared using pure vanilla cream and palatable charcoal.

In 2020, Not So Guilty launched as a digital brand. In the UAE, it presently boasts six sites spread among cloud kitchens. They are taking part in Beach Canteen Dubai for the first time with their own restaurant located in Business Bay. They assert that nothing contains hormones.

The Chips Oman Paratha is what you have to get. A handmade paratha is grilled to perfection to make it even crunchier, and it is served with crunchy chips and a touch of mayonnaise.

A package of panipuris stuffed with Oman chips and Cheetos is another delight. In place of the usual spicy water, a dash of hot sauce and labneh are added.
