Father’s Day in Dubai lands on Sunday, 21 June this year, the same third-Sunday-of-June date most of the world keeps. It is not a public holiday, so think of it less as a long weekend and more as a single, well-timed excuse to feed the man properly.
The good news is that Dubai treats it like a sport. Roasts, steaks, skyline lunches, free pints, a golf tournament you can actually win medals at, and a few places where dad just eats or drinks for free if the family shows up. Some of these run only on the day. A handful are ongoing Sunday deals that happen to fall perfectly. We have grouped them by the kind of day you are after, with prices, timings, and any catches, so you can book the right table instead of the loudest one.
A quick note before you scroll: most of these are family-style offers built around dad bringing the crew, not solo treats. Read the conditions on each. And whatever you pick, book early. Father’s Day in Dubai fill the week before, not the morning of.

Father’s Day in Dubai 2026: quick FAQ
Sunday 21 June 2026. The UAE follows the global third-Sunday-of-June date. It is not a public holiday.
CÉ LA VI comps the set lunch for dads, City Social has dad dining free on the Soft Package brunch, and McGettigan’s, McCafferty’s and Swingers all give dad a free drink. Novikov throws in a free dessert and a grooming voucher with any meal.
Most of these are built for families. Several, including CÉ LA VI, City Social and The Beam, have free or reduced kids’ pricing. Check each venue, since a few brunch sittings elsewhere in the city are adults-only.
