Whether you’re looking to treat yourself, take a break from everyday food or simply try a new dish that’s too hard to make at home, a number of high-end restaurants are now offering takeaway and delivery options.
Here are high-end options to order in from:
La Petite Maison
The French-Mediterranean restaurant has teamed up with Deliveroo to offer its much-loved cuisine for home delivery.
Starting Wednesday, April 1, residents in areas close to the restaurants in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can order from a specially curated menu that includes dishes like burrata with tomatoes and basil, warm prawns in olive oil, grilled lamb cutlets with smoked aubergine, roast baby chicken marinated in lemon, vanilla cheesecake and a selection of make-at-home mocktails.
The restaurant is also committing to delivering the full “LPM experience”; orders will include the restaurant’s trademark table décor – a bottle of olive oil, lemon, and a freshly-baked baguette. Orders will also be delivered in a canvas tote, with each of these sustainable bags hand-painted by a member of the team.
And to add the final touches to a date night, a playlist will be available on Spotify titled LPM – La Vie en Rose.
Delivery is available in the Deliveroo radius, along with pick-up options.
Coya
Peruvian favourite Coya has launched its Coya 2 U service, meaning curb-side pick up for Dubai residents as well as delivery to customers living in Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Manara and Al Wasl.
Order dishes like arroz nikkei, costillas de res, pollo a la parilla and maki roll de aguacate and they will come in biodegradable boxes.
In addition, every order comes with the ingredients for the signature guacamole and chips that guests can recreate at home, and a complimentary Peruvian vitamin boost (with ingredients like ginger, honey, fresh passion fruit seeds and lime juice).
Coya 2 U is available every day from 12:30pm to 10:30pm. For more information, email reservations@coyarestaurant.ae or call 04 316 9600.
Couqley
The French bistro has launched Couqley at Home via Deliveroo’s contactless delivery, giving residents living in the vicinity the option to tuck into its signature steak frites and more while staying in.
Some of the dishes being delivered include its gourmet steak cheese burger, the chicken and mushroom tagliatelle and Couqley’s cheese board.
Meanwhile, budding chefs can also take advantage of its BBQ boxes filled with prime beef and signature sauces that allow them to grill their own steaks and burgers. A two-hour notice has to be given for orders of the burgers and steaks.
Couqley at Home is also available for pick-up from its JLT location, after orders are placed through email, WhatsApp, website or social media.

The high-end Japanese establishment is ensuring loyal fans in Dubai and Abu Dhabi continue to get access to its fare.
Home delivery will be available from 12pm to 11pm daily. Orders can be made by calling 052 353 5591, 050 902 2878 or 050 152 2878 in Dubai and 052 239 6226 or 052 398 8438 in Abu Dhabi, with the restaurant delivering parcels themselves.
In Dubai, the restaurant delivers to all areas except Dubai Marina and Deira. In Abu Dhabi, it delivers until Mohamad bin Zayed city and the islands around.
Deliveries take 60 minutes, and can be paid via card or cash - but there is a minimum spend of Dh500.

The hidden gem in DIFC is delivering some of its fancy comfort food favourites.

Tank warfare
Lt Gen Erik Petersen, deputy chief of programs, US Army, has argued it took a “three decade holiday” on modernising tanks.
“There clearly remains a significant armoured heavy ground manoeuvre threat in this world and maintaining a world class armoured force is absolutely vital,” the general said in London last week.
“We are developing next generation capabilities to compete with and deter adversaries to prevent opportunism or miscalculation, and, if necessary, defeat any foe decisively.”
Sheer grandeur
The Owo building is 14 storeys high, seven of which are below ground, with the 30,000 square feet of amenities located subterranean, including a 16-seat private cinema, seven lounges, a gym, games room, treatment suites and bicycle storage.
A clear distinction between the residences and the Raffles hotel with the amenities operated separately.
