We all know Dubai brunches are something of an institution. From beach clubs serving up beats with your burrata to serene garden spots that feel miles from the city’s buzz, there’s something for a stag do, weekend in with the in-laws, or cosier catch up with the girls.
Whether you’re in the mood to mingle, unwind, or celebrate in serious style, we’ve rounded up ten of the city’s best brunches to suit every vibe, from the effortlessly elegant to the downright indulgent. Bring your appetite (and maybe a disco nap), because these are the ones worth dressing up for.
