Top Places to Go for Brunch in Dubai

A trip to Dubai is an assault on the senses and a pleasant contradiction of experiences; from the glitz and the glamour of its 5* hotels, man-made islands and luxury shopping, to the authentic charm of its traditional souks, and vast, hot, seemingly endless desert. There’s certainly plenty to see and do in this incredible Middle Eastern city, and while you’re there, why not make the most of its delicious food and drink offerings? Brunch is a big deal here, and we’ve rounded up some of the best spots for you to get involved in the action, from the high end, to the quirky, to the family friendly. Happy brunching!

Quirky

Candypants Dim Sum Disco 395 AED (house beverages)

Location: Maiden Shanghai, FIVE Palm Jumeirah

Unlimited drinks during this three hour brunch is one of the main draws at Candypants so expect a lively atmosphere at this adults-only brunch. But try not to party too hard as you may miss out on some truly tasty dim sum!

Budget

Alloro 165AED (soft drinks) 219AED (house beverages) FREE (Kids under 10)

Location: Wyndham Dubai Marina Hotel

Alloro’s Festa Familia brunch is a taste of Italy in the heart of Dubai, but don’t expect to find pizza on the menu; its flat breads are what makes them famous. This laid-back restaurant does Friday brunch without the fanfare and at a fantastic price point too.

The Dubliner’s 109 AED (2 soft drinks) 189AED (5 house beverages) 79AED (Kids 6-12 2 soft drinks)
