What’s better than a hearty breakfast? A stunning lunch, and what beats both? A combination of the two, Brunch. While weekdays are for early morning coffees and breakfast meetings, weekends are for sleeping in and starting your day off with Brunch. Come along with us as we explore the best spots in Dubai to give you the most enjoyable brunch experience.

Their menu includes ‘modern eclectic dishes’ inspired by the east and the west. From Indian Dosa to Australian prime beef ribeye, what has their menu not got? Their drinks menu takes it not one, not two, but tens of steps forward, with the wine’s dating back to the 1990s. If you want luxury, it’s waiting for you right here!
