The restaurant unites UAE-based chefs to Cook for Lebanon.

Community spirit runs deep in the UAE. From sharing fridges during Ramadan to rescuing stray animals found along highways, the community always looks for ways to give back. Now, the culinary community is coming together for a great cause. 

Taking place at Bistro Des Arts on Sunday, 27 October, Cook for Lebanon is a charity event where some of Dubai’s most celebrated culinary names will unite to lend support to those affected by the recent tragic events in Lebanon. It also aims to pay homage to Chef Greg Malouf, a global culinary maestro, who passed away last month.

Ali Fouad from Jumeirah Al Qasr, Bethany Kehdy, author of The Jewelled Table and The Jewelled Kitchen, Rita Soueidan of Maisan 15 and Marwan Sardouk of KATA are coming together to curate this five-course menu. Each chef will bring their personal flair and expertise, ensuring that this dining experience is nothing short of exceptional.
