Midweek indulgence has a new home in Downtown Dubai. Couqley French Brasserie is set to launch its Cheese & Wine Night, debuting on Wednesday, 21 January 2026, transforming Wednesdays into an evening of flavor, fun, and French-inspired dining. 

 A celebration of classic French gastronomy and relaxed luxury, the weekly Cheese & Wine Night invites guests to unwind, savor, and linger over a thoughtfully curated selection of French cheeses, sourced from the country’s most celebrated regions—from the delicate organic goat’s cheese of Centre-Val de Loire to herb-kissed sheep’s milk from Corsica, nutty Comté from Jura, floral-coated Tommette from Savoie, and the buttery classics of Burgundy and Normandy. 

Guests will also enjoy free-flowing French wines, including Colombelle Blanc, Colombelle Rosé, and Colombelle Rouge, each chosen for its fresh, aromatic, and approachable character. Together, these wines and cheeses create a midweek ritual that is indulgent yet approachable, perfect for food lovers, wine enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a vibrant evening out in Downtown Dubai.
