Popular with families and groups of friends. With an active open kitchen, Thai Kitchen isn't a party, but it's never dull.
As many small plates of tasty Thai treats as you can handle. Sharing is the name of the game here.
Sit outside and remind yourself how good life in Dubai can be as you take in the marina view.
A laid-back and frugal afternoon with your best buds.
Dhs225 with alcohol. Please step up and press the bargain buzzer.
Al Qasr may be the last bastion of the steep brunch, but the daddy of Dubai brunches will never lack custom. Booking ahead is essential.
It’s quite a spread. From oxtail burger to sushi, Al Qasr has something for everyone. And a lot of it is made to order.
Al Qasr is all about choice, with three rooms and a terrace to pick from. Hop on an abra and check out the Madinat Jumeirah when you’re done.
It’s ideal for impressing visitors, but any self-respecting bruncher must visit Al Qasr at least once a year.
Dhs495. Still.
Tap your foot to the rhythm of the live jazz band as you shuffle your way around the open kitchen buffet.
We’ve said it before. We’ll say it again. Chef Franck Detrait and his team produce the best French brasserie dishes in Dubai.
That vaulted ceiling is an architectural gem. Eat alfresco on the terrace, or be bold and book the private dining room.
Moochers, lovers, gastronomes. Anyone who revels in the joie de vivre.
Up to you. Dhs295 sans alcohol, Dhs425 with house beverages, Dhs550 with Veuve Cliquot or Dhs1,500 with a limo pick up.
Now the autumn brunch season is into its second month you’ll have to book a couple of days in advance.
Fresh sushi and sashimi and a selection of a la carte dishes from the regular menu.
DIFC is right at the heart of the city and Zuma is right at the heart of DIFC.
The best Japanese food in Dubai.
Choose from the Kitsu, (no alcohol) for Dhs315, Kowaku at Dhs425 (with alcohol) and the Kyasha package with champers for Dhs550.
Always spirited, Spectrum On One is sure to be a star of the new brunch season.
Eight kitchens serving up cuisine from Europe, Thailand, China, India, Japan and the Middle East.
Spectrum has its very own floor (floor one, unsurprisingly) dedicated solely to food, drink and merriment.
Everybody, now that there is now a range of price options.
Splash out Dhs550 for bubbles, house beverages for Dhs395 or sans booze for just Dhs295.
WHAT’S ON SAYS... After quality grub that won't leave you out of pocket? Go to Thai Kitchen.
If you pay the price you will receive a first-rate experience in return.
Surely the most elegant brunch in Dubai.
It’s more expensive, but it’s still the same remarkable brunch.
The Spectrum On One brunch is affordable. Well done, Fairmont.
