In a move similar to what Welly’s did with Shiba Inu, a Dogecoin-inspired restaurant, Doge Burger, has opened in Dubai.
Doge Burger Live in Dubai, Accepts Crypto Payments
Rockets Kitchen, a popular chain of virtual restaurants, is behind the new restaurant. Like its other establishments, this one is also virtual, which means customers can only order online and pay in cryptocurrencies.

Its meals are all-American favorites inspired, and Dogecoin won’t be the only virtual currency accepted. The restaurant will also accept other major coins like Binance Coin, USDT, XRP, and even popular meme coin rival, Shiba Inu.
The decision to develop a Doge-themed restaurant resulted from the founders’ successful bet on Dogecoin in its early days.
According to available information, the virtual restaurant was established with profits from Dogecoin. Their goal is to further drive crypto adoption in the UAE, a country making efforts to become more crypto-friendly.
It’s worth noting that Doge Burger isn’t the first restaurant in the country to accept crypto payment. In fact, some have been accepting crypto as far back as 2014. But a Doge-themed restaurant is a first and would likely drive adoption and similar initiatives in the country.
Like Shiba Inu, Like Dogecoin
Crypto-themed restaurants are becoming increasingly popular as crypto adoption becomes more mainstream. Earlier this year, Welly’s partnered with Shiba Inu to establish a Shiba Inu-themed restaurant in Naples.
The restaurant is also looking to become a chain after putting out an application form for those who want to apply for franchise licenses. However, Welly’s restaurant is a bit different in that it only accepts Shiba Inu and has a physical location.
With the establishment of a Dogecoin-themed restaurant, the adoption of the meme coin continues to increase. Just recently, SlingTV announced that it’d accept Dogecoin with other cryptos for its TV subscription. Elon Musk’s Tesla also accepts the leading meme coin for its product and revealed that the coin would soon be accepted at its charging stations soon.
This spate of adoption makes Dogecoin one of the most popular crypto-assets, and the moves would likely positively affect the asset in the future.
As of press time, the token is currently trading for $0.1279 after dropping over 8% of its value in the past 24 hours. This drop mimicked the broader crypto market, whose market cap fell by around 7% in the last 24 hours.
