6 brilliant spots in Dubai where kids eat free

It’s officially back-to-school season, and along with it come a few dining deals from restaurants helping little ones ease into the new year. And there’s some good news for parents, too. We’ve rounded up some of the best spots where kids eat free in Dubai. Yes, you read that right. From three-course meals to sweet treats, here’s where to treat the little ones without adding to the back-to-school bill. Treat yourself and your kids to an after-school lunch at ANA, an authentic Emirati contemporary restaurant that is offering a dining deal you cannot miss out on. Running until September 15, the diner is treating little ones to a complimentary kids’ meal when an adult main course is ordered. This is exactly what you need after surviving another chaotic school day. Quick detail to keep in mind: kids must wear their school uniforms to the restaurant to get the deal.

Kicking off the school year, pastel-hued French patisserie – Ladurée is giving away a little sweet treat to children who visit the stores in their school uniform. Parents, to avail, purchase a drink and dessert, and your little ones will receive a complimentary box of Eugénie biscuits. It’s perfect for little ones with a sweet tooth.

They are giving away free mango softies – not just to kids in uniforms – but also to university students and teachers. Running until September 7, all you have to do is show up in stores in your uniform or university ID in order to avail the offer. Seems like a win to us.
