Finding unique and educational Children's activities in Dubai in 2026 can be challenging. This new event series, focusing on kids' dining etiquette at Novikov Café in Dubai Mall, aims to address that by combining lunch with a manners lesson. According to the restaurant's announcement, the "Dining Etiquette for Kids" series will launch this month, offering children a chance to learn essential table skills in a relaxed setting overlooking the Dubai Fountain.

The sessions are designed for children aged 6 to 12 and act as an alternative to standard educational workshops or play areas. It joins a growing list of interesting options for dining in Dubai Mall, but with a specific focus on building confidence at the table.

The Concept: An Engaging Novikov Café Kids Event

The one-hour session is guided by etiquette professionals alongside the Novikov hospitality team. The goal isn't just about knowing which fork to use, but building confidence in social dining situations. The curriculum covers correct cutlery use and general table behaviour, delivered in an interactive format that keeps kids engaged rather than lectured.

The setting helps set the tone. Located in Fashion Avenue, the venue offers a premium atmosphere that gives children a real-world environment to practice what they are learning immediately.

The experience is paired with a three-course lunch, so the children apply their new skills as they eat. The menu has been designed to be kid-friendly while still requiring the use of cutlery and proper dining mechanics.

The meal starts with a pumpkin soup, followed by a main course of boneless chicken breast served with vegetables. For dessert, there is a red velvet cake. The restaurant confirmed that vegetarian options and other dietary requirements can be accommodated if requested in advance.
