Choose one of these gourmet grocery stores in Dubai instead of your usual the retailer Carrefour whether you’re entertaining friends, getting ready for a date night, or you’re just feeling fancy.
Prime Gourmet
With more than six locations across the city, Prime Gourmet’s premium cuts are simple to find and perfect for your upcoming cookout or backyard barbecue. This butchery has every kind of meat you could possibly want, from melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu steaks to sausages for the grill. But meat isn’t the only issue. There’s now a huge variety of dairy, seafood, and even pantry items at Prime Gourmet.
The Meat Avenue
The Meat Avenue began at a small butcher shop in JLT with the goal of providing premium meats for home cooking. It has since grown to a second site on Jumeirah Beach Road. The Umm Suqeim store is where foodies can feast their eyes and appetites on a wide variety of products, from the walk-in cheese room, butchery, and the grocery space where you can pick up sauces, oils, and condiments for every meal. At both, you can shop a wide variety of top quality prime cuts from around the world. Adjacent to the store is a modern steakhouse and smokehouse restaurant featuring a cuisine centred around meat and featuring only the best cuts. It’s the ideal place to stop when you’re looking for gourmet products.
Depachika
Situated within Nakheel Mall, Depachika Food Hall is a must-see for both its dining options and retail selection. Some of the city’s most popular restaurants, like Lime Tree Cafe and Daikan Ramen, can be ordered for takeaway. However, you can also shop for a wide variety of take-out goods here. Get premium meats from Prime Gourmet, explore The Cheese Room’s selection of over 100 cheeses, and get some sweets to-go from Scarlet’s Patisserie.
Odeon
If you visit Odeon for anything other than the delicious French cuisine at the fine dining restaurant on the first floor and the opportunity to speak with the incredibly affable husband and wife owners, Thomas and Morgane, then make sure to get some fresh French products from the market on the ground floor. Discover vegetables you never knew you needed—many of which are imported specifically for Odeon and sourced from all around France—in every aisle. The Beach Road culinary attraction invites you to load up on artisanal cheeses, fine pastries, delectable fish, quality meats, and daily chef-prepared meals—the latter of which are ideal for those days when you just can’t bring yourself to cook.
Eataly
You need look no further than Eataly to find exquisite Italian produce. They have a licenced restaurant and a retail market at their Pavilion at the Beach location, both of which are stocked with produce so you may make La Dolce Vita in your own kitchen. In addition to delicious chocolate indulgences at the venchi chocolate concession and a walk-in cheese room filled with scented fromage, you can also buy a bottle of wine to go with your goods thanks to a partnership with MMI.
Jones The Grocer
One of the most beloved all-day restaurants in Dubai, this Australian-born restaurant, deli, and cheesemonger has sites all around the city. They’re well-known for their hearty sandwiches, wine and cheese evenings, and breakfasts, but if you’re just picking up a few snacks, their brand of oils, cheeses, and sweet and savoury preserves are available on store shelves. Their hampers are a great option for a present that your culinary buddy would appreciate.
