A new month means new flavours, and October at Uptown Dubai kicks off with a major arrival. Lana Lusa, the much-loved Portuguese-Mediterranean restaurant, has opened its doors at SO/ Uptown Dubai, bringing soulful dishes, warm hospitality, and a taste of Portugal to the heart of the district. Known for its authentic sharing plates and vibrant atmosphere, Lana Lusa adds a fresh dimension to Uptown’s dining scene, making it the must-visit spot this month.
October has plenty more in store. From indulgent Parisian brunches to football screenings and family-friendly fun, here’s everything you need to add to your calendar this month. Saturday Nights take on a sophisticated flair at Citronelle, where dim sum becomes a fine art. Indulge in 14 handcrafted pieces, each designed to surprise and delight with delicate textures and bold flavours. From steamed dumplings bursting with freshness to delicious vibes, this curated menu is more than a meal, it’s an experience. Saturdays are all about indulgence, and the Uptown Marche brunch delivers just that. Step into a lively Parisian street market reimagined in Dubai, complete with live stations that bring the charm of boulangeries, trattorias, and poissonneries right to your table. Freshly baked bread, handcrafted pasta, and a showcase of seafood delights make it a feast for the senses. Add in the brasserie’s chic interiors, natural light, and the signature French touch of Amelie Poulain-inspired hostesses, and you’ve got the perfect weekend escape. At Brasserie Uptown, every evening is a celebration of French dining. Mondays bring unlimited Steak Frites for the classic at heart, Tuesdays feature Raclette with all the right cold cuts, and Wednesdays are all about Crepes. Thursdays celebrate fresh mussel, Fridays bring cheeky burgers and milkshakes, while Saturdays draw inspiration from Parisian markets and Sundays are reserved for the roast. With a different indulgence every night, it’s the perfect reason to come back again and again.
With football season in full swing, Savant has made sure you don't miss a single goal. With beIN Sports streaming live on big screens, this sleek lounge transforms into the ultimate match-night destination. Settle into stylish seating, sip signature cocktails, and enjoy special chef bites. Thursday evenings are redefined with Nine to Wine, a ladies’ night made for unwinding in style. From 6PM to 10PM, ladies enjoy free-flow house wine, with the option to indulge in the Antipasti Bar brimming with cold cuts, cheeses, and Mediterranean favourites. Gents can join the experience, which includes access to the Antipasti Bar and a minimum spend on drinks. With Savant’s DJ and a magician weaving tricks around the lounge, the space is filled with energy and excitement. Fridays are for dancing, and Sur’s ladies’ night delivers the perfect start to the weekend. The menu includes everything from sushi to fried calamari, and guests can enjoy three complimentary house drinks. With the DJ spinning until late, it’s the ideal spot to let loose and soak up Uptown Dubai’s nighttime energy. Citronelle has reinvented weekday lunches with bowls poached full of Pan-Asian flavours. Choose from steaming ramen, tangy pad thai, fragrant laksa, or creamy green curry, each layered with authentic ingredients and bold sauces. Sur’s take on the business lunch brings the flavours of the coast to your table, while Brasserie Uptown offers weekly French favourites with modern flair. Uptown Social keeps it fresh with a two-course menu that balances comfort and variety, and also starts mornings strong with eggs cooked your way paired with any beverage. Sundays are made for families, as kids decorate their own pancakes with berries, whipped cream, and nuts—fun, tasty, and guaranteed to put a smile on their faces.
