Downtown Dubai is currently preparing for a culinary takeover that blends the heat of the Americas with the sophistication of curated vintages. On Thursday 29 January, Time Out Market Dubai will host a rare Wine and Dine experience at The Editor’s Table. Led by the talented Chef Omar Rodriguez of Slab Cocina, this eight-seater event is designed for those who appreciate bold flavors and the interactive art of wine pairing.
Modern food culture is shifting toward hyper-intimate experiences that prioritize quality over volume. Much like the growing demand for clean beauty in skincare, diners now seek transparency and a direct connection with the artisans behind their meals. Slab Cocina captures this sentiment by focusing on seasonal ingredients and authentic techniques. By stripping away the noise of a crowded dining room, this event allows guests to focus on the subtle Middle Eastern influences and vibrant Latin American foundations that define Chef Omar’s specific style.
The evening functions as a delicious competition of skill and taste. Guests will enjoy eight distinct wine tastings, each expertly matched to a course from the Slab Cocina menu. From zesty Peruvian ceviche to rich Mexican tacos, every plate serves as a canvas for the sommelier’s expertise. The human element is front and center as diners are invited to vote for the best pairing of the night, ultimately crowning one wine expert the winner. It is a social, high-energy format that turns a standard dinner into a lively debate about flavor and profile.
- Date is Thursday 29 January from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM
- Price is set at AED 550 per person inclusive of pairings
- The location is The Editor’s Table in Souk Al Bahar
- Tickets are available exclusively through Platinumlist for this eight-seat event
This collaboration reflects a commitment to bold innovation by merging the casual market atmosphere with the refinement of elite fine dining. It is the perfect opportunity for professionals and food enthusiasts to escape the city’s fast pace and indulge in a considered, slow-paced evening of excellence. As the rotating lineup of chefs at Time Out Market continues to evolve, this specific night stands out as a celebration of craft, heritage, and the joy of shared discovery.
Spaces for this exclusive dinner are extremely limited and expected to sell out quickly. Join the movement toward intentional dining and secure your seat for a night that promises to be the highlight of your January!
