Ernst brings Bavaria to Dubai

Prost To Tradition

As the leaves start to turn and the scent of autumn fills the air, it’s time to dust off your lederhosen and dirndls because Oktoberfest is rolling into Bavaria. Oh wait— this is Dubai. But that does not mean we cannot bring the Oktoberfest atmosphere to the heart of the city. At Ernst Biergarten, we are pulling out all the stops to transport you straight to Germany with a feast of traditions and endless “Prost!”.

Our Culinary Director, Timo Gl?ckner , who has been working tirelessly to ensure that the Oktoberfest celebration is nothing short of spectacular, has shared insights into the preparations. And since he’s German, you know he’s serious about two things: beer and making sure there’s no shortage of it.

Dubai’s Most Authentic Oktoberfest Experience

When you step into Ernst Biergarten during Oktoberfest, you’re immediately transported to the land of Bavaria. From the first stein of frothy beer to the last bite of a hearty pretzel, every detail is crafted to celebrate its rich traditions.

Our guests have consistently praised our Oktoberfest celebrations, often commenting on how it feels like they’re experiencing the festival in Munich itself. The German fare and festive ambiance have made this event a hit year after year, drawing enthusiastic responses from both locals and visitors alike. Whether it's the lively music, the delicious food, or the friendly atmosphere, everyone loves the genuine Oktoberfest spirit we bring to Dubai.

So how do we ensure that the ambiance and overall experience at Ernst truly capture the spirit of Oktoberfest? Our culinary team goes above and beyond to recreate the essence of this iconic celebration. From the kitchen to the dining area, it’s a collaborative effort to make this event a success.

To make the celebration even more memorable, we’re featuring German bands that will have you clapping and dancing to traditional tunes all night long. Get ready for performances by Doe Mar Wa, famous for their vibrant traditional music; Smooth Connection, who’ll add a modern twist to classic Bavarian sounds; G?t Net, with their high-energy rhythms that will get everyone moving; Tim3less, a fan favorite known for blending traditional and contemporary styles; and Die Vlierl?nder Musikanten, who will bring the authentic Oktoberfest spirit with their lively performances.

What’s on The Table

Our F&B offerings are here to steal the show. If you're rolling in with a crew, our Sharing Pan for four guests, paired with a 3L Beer Tower, is basically a party in a pan. Whether you're a fan of halal or non-halal, we’ve got something that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.

The non-halal Sharing Pan is a meat lover’s fantasy come true: think pork knuckle, pork belly, pork ribs, smoked pork loin, pork bratwurst, and Nuremberg sausages, complemented by classic sides like mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and French fries.

For those who prefer halal, don’t fret—our Sharing Pan has got you covered with a mouth-watering mix of baby chicken, veal schnitzel, Bratwurst, Nuremberg sausages, lamb roast, paired with a selection of sides like mixed vegetables, potato-cucumber salad, among others.

We’re also relaunching our Oktoberfest-themed buffet brunch on Saturdays. Enjoy a range of traditional Bavarian dishes, live stations, and dessert selection- all crafted to enhance your weekend experience.

Our drink options are as epic as the food. Raise a toast with our Beer Tower or Paulaner Shoe (3L) or go big with The Viking Keg (30L). Whether you’re sipping a pint or sharing a keg with friends, Ernst has everything to keep the drinks flowing and the party going.

And if you’re still hungry, our regular à la carte menu is available throughout the festival. Because let’s face it, no one should have to choose between pretzels and schnitzels—why not have both?
