Part of: Top 20 Steakhouses in Dubai →
Dubai opened a remarkable number of steakhouses in the last few years, and the smartest of them now do something quietly brilliant at lunch: a set menu that puts a proper cut in front of you for a fraction of the dinner bill. If you only ever go to these rooms after dark, you're overpaying.
We ranked these ten steakhouse lunches in Dubai for 2026 on value, the quality of the cut at midday, and how the room works for whatever you're there to do — close a deal in DIFC, treat a visitor, or simply have the best-value steak of your week. Set-lunch prices are noted where they run one.
The 10 Best Steakhouse Lunches — Ranked
Ranked by our independent score across repeat visits in 2024–26. We pay for our own meals. Prices are approximate per person and shift with seasonal menus.
Beefbar

Best for: a DIFC power lunch, a quick stylish steak · Skip if: a long lazy meal

Best for: value business lunches, Argentinian beef fans · Skip if: a quiet solo bite

Your Questions Answered
Which steakhouse has the best lunch deal in Dubai?
Gaucho's DIFC set lunch (from around AED 130) and Beefbar's express lunch (from around AED 145) are the sharpest-value steak lunches in the centre. For a view, Prime68's business lunch is excellent.
Do Dubai steakhouses do set lunch menus?
Many do. Gaucho, Beefbar, Prime68, Carna, BOA and CUT all run set or business lunches priced well below their à la carte dinners — typically AED 130–220 for two to three courses.
Is a steakhouse lunch cheaper than dinner in Dubai?
Much cheaper. The same cut that runs AED 300–500 at dinner often appears in a AED 130–220 lunch set, making midday the value sweet spot for Dubai steakhouses.
Which steakhouse lunch is best for a business meeting?
Beefbar and Gaucho in DIFC for speed and value; Prime68 and CUT by Wolfgang Puck when the view and the room need to do the talking.
