QWERTY

Qwerty is a cosmopolitan restaurant, wine bar and grill at Media One Hotel, inspired by Quentin, the editor once tipped as the next Anna Wintour.
The menu travels the world, from Shinjuku ramen and Riviera carpaccio to New York-style pastrami, alongside comfort classics and thoughtful vegan dishes.
Inside, it feels like a relaxed press room, where conversation flows and champagne often arrives  early. With a dog-friendly terrace, a consciously sustainable wine list and a lively weekly rhythm, Qwerty is where stories meet flavour.

LUNCH AND DINNER

From business lunches to after work catch ups, our seasonal menus are packed with fresh ingredients and gastropub favourites, all with a creative twist. Think Scotch eggs with house piccalilli, braised lamb shepherd’s pie, fish and chips done right, and bold vegetarian options. Whether you’re after a light bite or a hearty dinner, our à la carte menu has something for everyone.

Step outside to our laid back terrace and enjoy open air dining in the heart of Media City. With chilled music, comfy seating and a casual vibe, it is perfect for weekend lunches, evening drinks or a quiet pint in the fresh air. We are also pet friendly on Saturdays and Sundays so feel free to bring your dog along.

EVENTS & PROMOTIONS

Ladies night

Thursdays at Qwerty feel like the front row of Quentin’s past life, bold energy, confident crowds and women who own the room. Enjoy three complimentary cocktails when you reserve in advance, each crafted with the same cosmopolitan spirit that defines Qwerty’s menu. Expect a DJ set that mirrors the rhythm of a press room on a good day: upbeat, clever and impossible to ignore. Come for the drinks, stay for the stories that always seem to follow.

Every Thursday – 6pm onwards

The Sunday Roast

Slow roasted meats carved to order, crispy roast potatoes, glazed carrots, red cabbage with cranberries, seasonal greens and all the trimmings that make a Sunday feel complete. It is unhurried, warm and built for the kind of table where conversations stretch naturally. Two for one all wines. The terrace stays relaxed and friendly and yes, dogs are welcome. AED 135 for the main or AED 175 for the full three course experience. 

Every Sunday – 12:30pm onwards

After work happy hour

When the newsroom day winds down, Qwerty switches to its favourite editorial ritual, the after-work happy hour. Enjoy cocktails and grazers from AED 39, each with a story behind it. The Martinis’ nod to his London years, the schnitzel bites trace back to a Vienna assignment gone sideways, and the mini fish and chips land on the table the way comfort food lands in a press room: fast, honest, and necessary. 

Daily – 4:30pm to 7:30pm

Martini & Fries Night

A Qwerty classic born from Quentin’s strangest comfort ritual, a martini and a plate of fries after filing a difficult story in New York City. ‘’’The adult happy meal’’ as he likes to call it, with the iconic Qwerty’s fries. Crisp, clean, salty, perfect. Enjoy any martini paired with fries for AED 75. It’s elegant, cheeky, unfussy and, somehow, exactly what you need.

Tuesdays & Wednesdays – 7pm onwards

Couples who book automatically enter a raffle to win an AED 5,000 Sephora voucher because every love story deserves a glamorous sequel.

Saturday 14th February –  6pm onwards

Pisco Sour & Ceviche Night

A nod to Quentin’s months chasing a travel story through Lima, this night brings the bright, fresh flavours that stayed with him long after the assignment ended. Enjoy a Pisco Sour and a ceviche bite for AED 65. Choose from sea bass, tuna or shrimp, each cured with intention, each carrying the punchy, light, after-work energy that made ceviche his personal reset. 

Thursdays & Fridays –  7pm onwards

Business Lunch

Business lunch at Qwerty is fast, sharp and crafted for people who make decisions on the move. Enjoy a two-course menu for AED 90, that is delivered at a fast pace, over a 45-minute lunch experience; built around continental dishes with Qwerty’s cosmopolitan twist. The menu changes weekly, seasonal, intentional, and paced so you can return to your day without rush. 

Monday to Friday – 12pm to 3pm
