Children aged 6 to 12 can learn table manners over a three-course meal at Novikov Café in Dubai Mall, which is running a monthly Children’s Etiquette Class.

The one-hour sessions, priced at AED 165 per child, will take place on 9 October and 13 November from 2pm to 3pm.

Etiquette professionals will lead the class alongside the café’s team.

Children will learn how to use cutlery confidently, read a table setting and pick up on dining cues, as well as how to interact politely with others at the table.

The organizers say the aim is to help children feel more comfortable and assured in a range of dining settings.

It’s a fresh option for families looking for something different to do in Dubai, pairing a fun afternoon out with skills children can use well beyond the table.

The lessons are built around the meal itself. The set menu starts with carrot soup, followed by crispy chicken breast with creamy mashed potato, and ends with red velvet cake.

Novikov Café describes the class as an afternoon activity for families at Dubai Mall that combines a meal with social skills children can use on other dining and social occasions.
