Patriotic feasts worth dining out on
National Day is on everyone’s minds this weekend, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafes using their menus to show their patriotism. Some of our favourites worth a try this weekend include Coya’s special dessert - the passion chocolate marquise, dark muscovado centred, maracuja snow (well, that’s a mouthful) - looks delicious. If that’s not mouthwatering enough, try the specially curated National Day menus at Burger & Lobster, 7 Elephants Dubai and other restaurants across the Emirates.

Artistic flavour comes to D3
If you have artistic flair and like the same in your dining experience, you'll want to seek out the new Italian restaurant at Dubai Design District. We're loving the colourful interior at Benvenuto al Larte Dubai, an outlet straight out of Milan offering a "multi-sensory" dining experience. The vibrancy of this D3 gem complements the menu, which features rarely seen dishes including oven-baked ziti ragu and truffled clams casarecce. It's worth putting on your dining hit list of new listings in the city. Call 04 240 0441 or see www.dubaidesigndistrict.com
Float into the weekend
If you've got friends visiting or just want a new take on The Dubai Fountain why not check out the view from the new floating platform. The Boardwalk is very cool in that it allows you to get up close to the world's largest performing water feature. Start from Burj Park or the fountain promenade and stroll down the 272-metre platform – you'll be just nine metres from the fountain itself. It's open from 5pm to 11pm daily and costs just Dh20. Well worth it, we'd say! Go to www.burjkhalifa.ae
