Things to do in Dubai this week: A Green Feast, Wrestling Chaos and Disney on Ice

Morning! Dubai’s got a buffet of chaos and charm this week.

Start with The Green Edit Brunch where three of the city’s boldest chefs gang up for a feast that’s as eco-conscious as it is indulgent. Swing from opera tears at La Bohème to belly laughs at The Laughter Factory, and then lace up for a night of body slams at WrestleFest DXB.

Toss in dandiya dancing with Falguni Pathak, Disney magic on ice, and even a wedding show for anyone plotting their “I do’s.” Whatever your mood, the city’s serving it up.

LOWE, Teible and BOCA are joining forces for a brunch that puts creativity and sustainability on the table. Think zero-waste cooking, locally-sourced ingredients, and dishes that twist familiar flavours into something completely new. Add in oysters from Dibba Bay, wines from Journey’s End and plenty of good company, and you’ve got one of Dubai’s most original dining experiences this month.

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🍝 - Vera Versilia: Pasta, Crudo and Tuscan Swagger
📍 - Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, 2nd Floor
⏰ - Mon - Sun 12:00 PM - 11:30 PM
📷 - @veraversilia

Picture this. You’re two bites into a seafood tower and already planning your next visit. The chef is slicing crudo so thin it practically disappears, while the Pasta Lab has you rethinking every bowl of spaghetti you’ve ever had.

Drinks are coastal, desserts hit like a love letter from Florence, and the whole place carries that smug “I know a spot” energy.

Walk in hungry, walk out convinced you’ve unlocked Italian living.

ACTIVITY ALLEY

🤼 - Dubai Pro Wrestling: WrestleFest DXB
📍 - Warehouse 4, Al Quoz
📅 - Saturday 20th September
⏰ - 7:00 PM
📷 - @wrestlefestdxb

Body slams, flying elbows, and more drama than a Turkish soap. Dubai Pro Wrestling is back at Warehouse 4 with homegrown stars like Shaheen, Jay Lamrod and Kuya Burn stepping into the ring. It’s loud, it’s over the top, and it’s everything you secretly want from a Saturday night. Cheer, boo, lose your voice, then argue all week about who should’ve won.

FRESH EXPERIENCES

❄️ - Disney On Ice: Into the Magic
📍 - Coca-Cola Arena
📅 - Thu 18th to Sun 28th September
⏰ - Morning, afternoon and evening shows
📷 - @cocacolaarena

Belle fights off cabin fever in a castle, Moana ropes Maui into saving the day, Miguel strums his way through the Land of the Dead, Elsa throws a winter tantrum, and Rapunzel finally gets out of the tower. It’s Disney, it’s on ice, and it’s loaded with the kind of spectacle that makes kids gasp and parents suddenly nostalgic for VHS tapes. You’ll sing along, even if you swear you won’t.
