Dubai is full of restaurant deals if you know where to look: weekday set menus, early bird offers, buy one get one apps, delivery promotions and free meals for creators. Here is how each one works.
Quick answer
The main food and restaurant deals in Dubai are weekday business lunches, early bird menus, buy one get one apps, delivery promotions and themed nights. Always check the terms and the venue's latest posts. Creators can eat free through Fleek Collabs in return for content.
The most common are business lunch set menus on weekdays, early bird dinner menus, buy one get one apps and membership programmes, delivery app promotions, and themed nights such as taco or steak nights. Hotels also run weekly themed dinners and brunches. Each type suits a different situation. Set menus are good for trying a premium restaurant cheaply, buy one get one apps suit couples and groups, and delivery promotions suit nights in.
Read what is included, the days and hours, whether the deal needs a booking, and whether tax and service are added. Compare the deal price to the normal menu price, not to the advertised saving. If a deal comes from an app, check whether the restaurant is still listed, as participating venues change.
Many lists online keep deals long after they end. Before you go, check the venue's latest posts or message them. Fleek only shows Collabs that venues have published themselves, with their own dates and terms.
Fleek is not a deals site and does not publish a fixed list of venue promotions, because prices, days and terms change often. What Fleek does have is live Collabs: Dubai venues offering a free meal, drinks, treatment or experience, and sometimes cash, to creators with at least 1,000 followers in exchange for agreed content. If you post about food and nights out, that is often a better deal than any discount. Browse the live Collabs, open one that suits you and apply on WhatsApp with the details already filled in.
If you run a venue with a promotion like this, the fastest way to fill it is to let local creators show it. List it as a Collab on Fleek for free, approve the creators you like and host them on a quiet night. Their reels and stories put your promotion in front of people deciding where to go this week, and you keep full control over who comes and what they post.
Instead of chasing discounts, many Dubai creators get hosted free through Fleek Collabs in return for honest content.
