Foodies, guzzlers, and every muncher in between, this one’s for your curious tummies. Here are our five most beloved F&B trends in Dubai this year.
1. The Japanese New Wave
The Japanese New Wave is taking Dubai by surprise. It is an art of mixing high quality ingredients with unique skills of acclaimed talented chefs using simplistic methods to preserve the unique flavors of the Japanese cuisine. To the delight of Japanese cuisine addicts, it doesn’t break your budget should you decide to venture out for a delish Wagyu Sando or an amazing Mushroom Clay Pot Rice. The JNW is fairly new and affordable, and is currently being implemented at restaurants like Reif Kushiyaki and 3Fils – Japanese galore and in great unconventional style, and doesn’t cost a limb or two!
2. Veganism
How often do you hear “Vegan” in Dubai?
Not that you already didn’t know, but veganism is a full-on vegan way of life, which means even excluding dairy and eggs from your diet, not just meat. Have you watched What The Health on Netflix yet? Veganism has become the most Instagrammable meal on social media platforms – surprisingly more than cheesy french fries, and influencers all around the world have increased its popularity even more than ever. For a vegan restaurants it’s definitely a challenge on each step, from finding right the product to the recipe management and serving, but it sure is worth it! The greener your feed looks, the more likely you are up-to-date with the trend of leading a healthy lifestyle.
3. Hydroponic Farming
Amongst the many healthy salads we consume today in the UAE contain “Hydroponics”. Ever wondered how your salad magically contained brussel sprouts? In case you don’t know, brussel sprouts can only grow in frosty conditions. Believe it or not, restaurants are going neck and neck with their wider selection of vegetables to make their menus even more colorful, without involving Jack and the Beanstalk. Hydroponic farming involves man made farming without the use of soil but instead water, H2O is used in the process of farming vegetables with the right climate (Greenhouses) in order to grow your favorite fat burners. Our customer Baker and Spice in Dubai sources many of their green products from Dubai’s very own farms that have executed this unique farming method which also involves not only the farming but a top-notch software for process management.

4. Virtual Kitchens
With technology at its highest peak, Asian food being served at the comfort of your couch while your favorite show is on has now become as much the norm as it being served at a restaurant, minus the waiters, white plates and the urge to get comfortable, but who really cares when you’ve got Netflix?
Our client Miyabi’s Thai Chak, one of many virtual kitchens operating in a closed kitchen and reaching its customers via smartphone applications like Zomato or Talabat uses advanced POS system technologies to pick up and manage delivery orders to ensure all your feel goods are delivered warm and hot to your doorstep for you to devour.
5. The Keto Diet
What do they say about Keto in Dubai?
Keto is hands down the most overused food-related word this year, and EVERYBODY is either talking about it, looking it up on Pinterest, or doing it; and all for the right reasons! It’s pretty, healthy, filling and delicious. Here is the point where the modern IT can help: calories, allergens, science level precise portions and recipes. Fun fact: The Ketogenic Diet began as a dietary treatment for epilepsy and brain tumors almost a century ago, neurologists came up with this legendary diet way before it was cool. The Keto Diet has evolved rapidly into becoming a lifestyle, and a conversation starter between the millennials of 2019 while turning into the new gluten-free!
