Being single in the UAE is pretty tough, there’s no access to popular dating apps and everyone else seems to be married or in a serious relationship. Luckily, this Valentine’s Day BookMunch is hosting a quirky night that could lead you to Mr Right.
As the old saying goes: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Taking this old proverb seriously is BookMunch, a charming café located in Wasl Square, Jumeirah, that is taking upon itself to help the lonely hearts club in Dubai.
On Valentine’s Day, BookMunch will be hosting a night “filled with fun, laughter and good food”. Offering a unique approach to romance in which your dietary preferences could lead you to the date of your dreams.

It’s all about speed plating. Confused? Don’t be. Let us take you through it. BookMunch will lay out a table with their canapés and mini bites along with a stack of empty Munchboxes.
Ladies go first, naturally, with the females asked to head to the table of food and select yummy items they love and put them inside the box.

Gentlemen, follow suit. But instead of selecting canapés for their own box, the guys go through the boxes already filled by the women. They then choose which ever box that has the most appealing contents for them, et voilà a potential match is made.
Tickets for the BookMunch speed plating costs Dhs140. For reservations, call (04) 3884006, or visit here more details.
Alternatively, if speed splating is the last thing on your mind and you wish to stay in on February 14, BookMunch have created bespoke sugar cookies in the shapes of frogs and hearts (Dhs15/cookie), as they say, “You need to kiss many frogs before finding your prince.” It’s an interesting approach to selling cookies, but we’re not complaining.
