In partnership: In Dubai, October brings more than just the first hints of cooler weather. It’s a month that paints the city in shades of pink, a global symbol of hope, solidarity, and the ongoing fight against breast cancer. This year, the IHG Hotels at Dubai Festival City are joining the conversation in the most heartfelt way they know how: through food, drink, and shared experiences.

Moving beyond a simple campaign, they’ve woven a thread of purpose and connection through three of their most beloved venues. It’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect over beautifully crafted moments, all while supporting a cause that touches countless lives.

As Thomas Schmelter, Area General Manager, beautifully puts it, “At its core, hospitality is about connection, and these moments embody that spirit.”

Here’s how you can savour the flavour of the season with purpose.

For a Lively Evening

Every Tuesday this month, the Belgian Café transforms into a hub of warm camaraderie. Their ‘Pink Code’ evenings are less about a simple promotion and more about creating a space for togetherness. For three hours, you can enjoy unlimited pink beverages for AED 129, paired with 25% off food. It’s the perfect setting for laughter-filled catch-ups with friends, where every clinking glass carries a whisper of solidarity.

For a Poignant Pause

Sometimes, a single drink can tell a story. At Vista Restaurant & Terrace, the ‘Blush of Bravery’ beverage is exactly that. A delicate blend of lychee, citrus, and floral notes, this elegant creation is more than just a refreshing sip at AED 65. It’s a quiet, dignified toast to the incredible courage and resilience that defines so many in our community. It reminds us that the colour pink carries a weight and a meaning far deeper than its lovely hue.

For a Touch of French Elegance

For a truly refined tribute, CHOIX by three-Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire has curated a collection of pink-inspired desserts that are as meaningful as they are exquisite. Indulge in the playful ‘Trio in Pink’ macarons or the stunning ‘St Honoré Rose’, a delicate masterpiece of puff pastry and rose cream.

You can also experience their specially curated Parisian Afternoon Tea – Pink Edition. Served daily from 12 pm to 6 pm for AED 125 per person, it’s an expansive selection of Parisian delights, making for an afternoon of pure, purposeful indulgence.

This October, let’s make our dining choices count. It’s a chance to create beautiful memories while honouring an even more beautiful cause.
