As the temperature begins to ease, Bahrain’s food scene is heating up. With voting for the Fact Dining Awards Bahrain 2026 opening this month, we explore the culinary trends shaping tables around the world and at home. We also look ahead to the Autumn-Winter fashion season, while spotlighting open calls for artists and designers for the Bahrain Pavilion in Venice, a Paris residency programme and this year’s Muharraq Nights.
Meet Bahraini writer, director and producer Aziz Altamimi, and fill your social calendar with concerts, comedy, cat yoga and coffee championships. Dining takes us from refined Indian cuisine at Rasoi to a leisurely lunch at BO.SABI and seafood night at Choices, alongside conversations with hospitality personalities including Hawar Resort by Mantis GM Dennis de Groot, Four Seasons Hotel’s Chef Francesco Acquaviva and The K Hotel’s Siddiqa Ali. On the road, we test-drive the Range Rover SE, escape to Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino and unwind at Novotel Bahrain.
