The first restaurant which grabbed my attention is The White Canary at Gulshan 2. They are bringing a refreshing twist to the World Cup experience. Besides the regular live screenings, the café is introducing a rotating FIFA menu inspired by whichever countries are playing that night.

This special menu will allow you to pair every match with flavours from the competing country and also allow you to experience a mini cultural journey.

From there, Secret Recipe is keeping things simple yet exciting across all of its outlets consistently. The venue offers daily live screenings, comfortable seating, and a wholesome vibe that welcomes friends and family to enjoy football nights. You can get coffee, dessert, or a full meal while watching the game.

Of course, football deserves food that matches the excitement, and Meat Theory in Banani is answering that call. They are hosting live screenings throughout the tournament while serving a specially curated FIFA menu with discounts, giving supporters another reason to gather and celebrate every unpredictable moment with hearty comfort food.

Galito’s is also embracing football fever across its Gulshan 1 and Dhanmondi outlets by screening every match live. Football fans can fuel the excitement with the Match Day Combo for Tk 1,295, or they can choose the Kick-Off Combo for Tk 995, making it easy and affordable to enjoy great food while cheering with fellow supporters.

But as we know, not every football night needs a heavy feast, right? Sometimes, all we want is a good cup of coffee, great ambience, and 90 uncontrollable minutes. And that is exactly what Crimson Cup is offering. Crimson Cup’s every outlet is screening matches daily, creating a perfect meeting point for fans who love caffeine and football together.

If you are looking for something which will make match day even more memorable, then Renaissance Dhaka Gulshan Hotel is where you should step in. The Renaissance Dhaka Gulshan Hotel is going all out for this year’s World Cup, from decoration to menu.

They are hosting daily live screenings paired with two exclusive FIFA dining experiences. The MATCH BOX is available at Tk 2,500 for two people or Tk 4,000 as a family-sharing option, while the MATCH COMBO is priced at Tk 3,500, turning every fixture into a complete celebration package.

For those who prefer a more refined café setting with some croissants and pastries, with football drama like a cherry on top, then Delifrance Bangladesh is opening their doors across all outlets for you. The elegant ambience offers a relaxed alternative to louder venues for friends, family or colleagues who want to enjoy tournaments with coffee and pastries.

Meanwhile, Domino’s Pizza at its Gulshan 1 outlet is making match nights even more tempting than they already are with their exclusive Tk 499 offer curated especially for the FIFA season. Daily live screening with an energetic atmosphere, but football fans should remember that seats are limited, so prior registration is required.

Finally, ending the list with another café in Dhanmondi, which is Coffee Avenue. A big, spacious place that will give you a cosy neighbourhood feel. A good place to enjoy daily live screening with family and friends is also to celebrate every goal with strangers like a shared victory, no matter which team finds the net.

What makes this year’s World Cup season extra special is not only the football itself but also the sense of community growing around it. Across Dhaka, restaurants and cafés are going all out, from giant screens to menus.

Streets are full of flags and jerseys, friendly rivalries have returned, and every goal sparks cheers across neighbourhoods. The only difficult decision left is choosing where you are going to experience the next kick-off.
