Dubai Neighbourhood Guide: DIFC

Explore Dubai's neighbourhood, DIFC, through the culinary lens of two homegrown restaurants, offering unique gastronomic experiences to all gourmets.

The Dubai International Financial Centre neighbourhood (more commonly known as DIFC) is more than just a financial hub. It’s a place that brings together culture, arts, financial institutes and, of course, gastronomy. Here, you’ll find everything from art galleries to MICHELIN restaurants, banks to cafes, often frequented by people of diverse backgrounds to work and play. Its eateries range from fine-dining to quick bites, but each mirroring the neighbourhood’s multicultural landscape.

In this video, we explore DIFC through the culinary lens of two homegrown restaurants, offering unique gastronomic experiences to all gourmets.

One of the zone’s early tenants, Green Star Boca celebrates Spanish and Mediterranean culture, and of course sustainability in the much-loved Gate Village. While Bib Gourmand Ninive pays homage to the iconic hanging gardens of Ninawa in Iraq through its décor, as well as the traditional sharing-style deeply ingrained in Arabic hospitality.
