The eighth annual FACT Dining Awards Dubai will take place on Thursday, 7 November at Palazzo Versace Dubai.


After almost a decade of dining in Dubai restaurants, FACT has become the authority when it comes to eating out in the city. This year, we will once again celebrate the best restaurants and bars at the FACT Dining Awards Dubai 2024. Here’s what you can expect from the lavish awards ceremony on Thursday, 7 November 2024.

Scheduled to take place overlooking the central pool at Palazzo Versace Dubai, this year’s FACT Awards will see 71 awards given out across 36 cuisine categories, covering more than 250 nominees. Eligible nominees will be contacted with details regarding the exclusive invite-only event.

Now in its eighth year, the annual FACT Dining Awards Dubai celebrates the city’s vibrant food and beverage scene. Winners are chosen based on public votes and critics’ opinions, with each category featuring two awards: the BEST and the FAVOURITE. The BEST is the critic’s choice, decided by the FACT editorial team and an independent panel of industry experts, while the FAVOURITE is determined through an online public vote.
