Because we always need a reason to eat, Monday is International Sandwich Day. Celebrate in style at the Pressman’s — a new sandwich shop opening the same day. The restaurant will serve fresh, hot, pressed sandwiches on focaccia bread — and said sammies will be made and served within 90 seconds. Perhaps the fastest food in Dubai. Pressman’s will be open daily 7am to 10pm. The restaurant is located in Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Cluster E. For more information, call 04 430 8282.
This month, the beloved Aussie restaurant Jones the Grocer has collaborated with Valrhona (the master of all chocolatiers!). JTG executive chef Patrick Trisch has created a Valrhona chocolate-inspired menu available at all Jones locations through November 16. The chocolate menu includes dishes such as cocoa rubbed BBQ beef short rib, spiced cocoa and black bean soup and 70 per cent dark chocolate two bean chilli con carne. www.jonesthegrocer.com
