Start the New Year right and sip, socialise and seriously over-indulge.
In Dubai, brunch isn’t just a meal, it’s a full-blown personality trait complete with fine dining, copious drinks, a chance to glow up and party hard – all on a Saturday afternoon (or Sunday!). It’s where you arrive “for a quick bite” and leave three hours later, emotionally attached to a tiramisu trolley, a seafood tower, and at least two new best friends you met at the Spritz Bar.
Whether you’re here for the champagne theatrics, the chance to see or be seen, or simply the chance to wear something fabulous before 1pm, these are the city’s most indulgent brunches for 2026; some are old favourites, and some are brand spanking new.
From beach clubs and boujee terraces to sky-high dining rooms with live DJs and even livelier guests, here’s where to spend your weekends and get a proper sojourn from the workplace.
