      Known for its vibrant dining scene, Dubai has a plethora of restaurants with a host of irresistible business lunches you simply can’t miss.
      Designed for a luxe networking experience or even to take a break from the mundane routine of a 9 to 5, a business lunch is quick, convenient and fancy, making it the perfect meal to savour in the emirate.
      If you need to recharge those creativity levels and tuck into lunch outside the office or if you have to sign a business deal with a client, there are plenty of business lunches in Dubai to choose from.
      Quite often it’s important to have a change of scenery during the day to switch off for an hour and simply laugh and unwind. Dubai is home to several  Michelin-recognised spots in Dubai, Green star, and Bib Gourmand spots where the finest quality resides.
      Here are some options depending on the dress code of the company or industry:
      Business Formal
      A well-fitted pantsuit or skirt suit, blouse, and closed-toe pumps. Neutral or soft colors work well.

      Business Casual
      A blouse or tailored top with dress pants or a knee-length skirt, paired with flats or low-heeled shoes.
      Smart Casual
      A stylish blouse or dressy top with tailored pants or a midi skirt, complemented with low heels or chic flats.
      How to accessorise
      Keep accessories simple and tasteful. A watch or small jewelry is appropriate. If it’s cooler, a light blazer or coat is a good choice. Neutral tones like white, beige, navy, and black tend to look more professional, but don’t shy away from a pop of color if it’s appropriate for the setting.
      Hence, with our hectic schedules and day-to-day meetings, trying out new spots can be a challenge, which is why several top-rated eateries in town offer set business lunch menus for the busy bees in the city. From LPM to Zuma, the city offers the best without breaking the bank.
      So, if you’re looking for where to dine next, Emirates Woman has curated the ultimate guide of fine-dining restaurants in Dubai for an elegant midday meal.
