About this experience
Seven Paintings is an immersive dining show in Downtown Dubai that serves a seven-course tasting menu inside a piece of theatre. Each course is built around one artist - Michelangelo, Banksy, Picasso, Pollock, Warhol, Dali and Van Gogh - and arrives with projection, sound and storytelling that turn the table itself into the canvas.
The format its creators call Dineamation blends fine dining with animation and interactive performance, so guests are part of the action rather than an audience for it. Expect to paint a salad Pollock-style, to eat a Picasso, and to take a bite out of a Warhol soup can - anyone taught not to play with their food will need to reconsider.
The show runs on Friday evenings only, from 8pm to 10pm, at Sofitel Dubai Downtown. A welcome cocktail or mocktail opens the evening and valet parking is included. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus are both available - choose yours when you book. Smart casual dress code; please arrive by 7:40pm.
