1. Depachika
Located in the heart of the renowned Palm Jumeirah, Depachika at Nakheel Mall is a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts. Drawing inspiration from Japanese food halls, this unique space showcases a vast array of gourmet delicacies and bespoke treats. Depachika brings together local artisanal brands, entrepreneurs, global leaders, and breakthrough talents, creating a flexible and constantly evolving space.
This revolutionary food concept, inspired by the Japanese words 'depato' (department store) and 'chika' (basement), is a first in the UAE. Featuring numerous vendors offering a variety of artisanal food products, specialty coffee, retail, and gifting options, Depachika provides an immersive and theatrical experience, marking a fascinating milestone for the Middle East.
Food halls, once synonymous with cheap fast-food chains, have now become a global culinary sensation. Thanks to the arrival of Depachika in Nakheel Mall, Dubai now boasts a legitimate food hall, well worth every calorie spent. Developed by TGP, this project brought a touch of Japan to the UAE, offering a unique experience to its visitors.
