The short version
Trade Center is the working spine of Sheikh Zayed Road, the run from the World Trade Centre and the convention halls down to the Fairmont and One Za'abeel. The lunch here is built for the office and exhibition crowd, which means fast, fairly priced and plenty of it.

Ernst Biergarten's Bavarian lunch is AED 75, Tandoor Tina's Express Lunch AED 85, and Lady Bird from AED 99. Climb to Esco-Bar at AED 105, Pepperoni Comedy Club at AED 105, Fumee Steakhouse at the Fairmont at AED 119, Andaliman at AED 125 and Yubi Handroll at AED 155.

Good to know
Set lunches run weekdays from around noon to 3pm, and the area's exhibition calendar drives the crowd. When the DWTC has a big show on, the nearby tables fill fast and early, so book or go before noon. The express lunches at Tandoor Tina and Charlie Lane are made for a tight schedule.
Parking around the World Trade Centre and along Sheikh Zayed Road is metered and busy, but the World Trade Centre metro stop sits right on top of much of the list, which is the easy way in. The Fairmont and One Za'abeel rooms have valet and basement parking.

What time is the business lunch near the World Trade Centre?
Weekdays, mostly noon to 3pm. The express menus run through the lunch hour and the pace is brisk, since this is an office and exhibition area. Each venue below lists its exact days and times.

Where should I eat near a DWTC exhibition?
