Two Saturday brunches that are worth getting out of bed for
We live for lively weekend brunches. Delicious food, people-watching and a soundtrack that kicks us into gear for the weekend? Yes, please.
If your brunch radar's blinking, we've got just the places for your next feast.
With knockout views of the Arabian Gulf and eighteen stunning poolside and indoor dining spots to choose from, W Dubai – Mina Seyahi and The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi have something for every kind of brunch-goer.
Local flavours? Check. Chic (and Instagrammable) décor? Check. Something fruity and fizzy in your glass while you're at it? Double check.
Go ahead and drop this in the group chat – because nobody should miss out on brunches that are this bold, buzzy and brilliant.
Brunch with stunning sea vistas
First up, you have to check out the Palmera Brunch at Ginger Moon, the poolside stunner at W Dubai – Mina Seyahi. The Saturday brunch runs from 2pm to 5pm, followed by an after-party at Moth Bar from 5pm to 8pm. The packages start at Dhs295 for the Detox option, Dhs395 for mixed drinks and Dhs485 for premium bubbly.
The food lineup is anything but shy – think Crudo towers, oysters, caviar, tacos, soft-shell crab, and juicy skirt steak. But beyond the food, it's the vibes that have us hooked. Ginger Moon serves up epic vistas of the sea from Ain Dubai to Dubai Harbour, and when you pull up a chair indoors, you'll be surrounded by areca palms and thatched roof ceilings that scream holiday getaway.
The resident DJ spins chilled-out house beats, setting the perfect weekend tone. And because no brunch is complete without something fab in your glass, the in-house mixologist will be shaking up signature sips to match the mood right by your table.
Reserve now
From Dhs295. 2pm-5pm (brunch), 5pm-8pm (after party), every Sat. W Dubai – Mina Seyahi. (04 511 7373).
The most Dubai brunch ever
One of the best and biggest buffet brunches in the city is taking over Mina's Kitchen, Sui Mui, and BABA Steakhouse at The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi.
We're talking live cooking stations, bao buns, sushi, seafood, cheese towers, a proper roast, and yes, a chocolate fountain too, so calling it an extravaganza is well-deserved. Brunch kicks off at 1pm and runs through to 4pm, every Saturday. Prices start at Dhs475 for the Delicious (non-alcoholic) package, Dhs585 for Sparklicious with sparkling drinks, Dhs680 for the Bubbalicious bubbly option and Dhs795 for the Superlicious package. Kids aged six to eleven dine for Dhs300, while the little ones under six eat for free.
What's more, the Superlicious package of the popular brunch recently had a major glow-up, meaning there's now more for you to enjoy. Part of the upgrade includes access to the speakeasy bar and special mixed drinks. Set exclusively on the terrace of the adults-only BABA Steakhouse, The Experience begins with a show-stopping seafood platter stacked with oysters, king crab, prawns, lobster, and tuna tartare. Then comes your choice of a massive 1.4kg Black Angus Tomahawk steak or an organic free-range chicken stuffed with foie gras, served directly to your table, because fabulous doesn't queue.
There's plenty of entertainment to enjoy, too, including swaypole performers, stilt walkers and the wonderfully surreal mirror cube to check out.
The only thing left to decide – who will you be taking along with you?
