Lights, Camera, Brunch! XU Dubai Rolls Out the Red Carpet for ‘Brunchflix’

A blockbuster series like no other!
Clear your Saturday schedule and cue the dramatic music – there’s a new headliner in town, and it’s serving suspense, sparkle, and soy-glazed bites. Welcome to Brunchflix at XU, the dazzling new brunch concept premiering April 12th that’s all about action, atmosphere, and Asian flavours — with a generous side of showbiz.
Hosted every Saturday from 1pm to 5pm at XU’s glitzy digs on the 2nd floor of Kempinski Hotel, Mall of the Emirates, Brunchflix isn’t just a meal. It’s a plot twist.
This isn’t your average eggs-benedict-and-smooth-jazz affair. No, no. At Brunchflix, you are the leading character. From the moment guests step onto the scene (aka the entrance), they’re swept into a cinematic universe of mystery, high drama, and unfiltered fun. Think moody lighting, big energy, and that addictive buzz that something fabulous is about to unfold.
Act One: The opening scene sets the tone with upbeat vibes, a live DJ spinning feel-good anthems, and interactive food stations brimming with Asian crowd-pleasers. Stir-fried sensations, bao buns, sushi rolls — all delivered with flair and finesse. Throw in roaming performers and cheeky plot twists along the way, and you’ve got a brunch with more twists than a Tarantino script.
Act Two: The spotlight shifts. XU’s iconic karaoke stage comes alive. This is your moment to belt, bop, and bring the house down. Whether you’re more Beyoncé ballads or Bohemian Rhapsody, you’ll be taking centre stage while the crowd cheers you on like the rockstar you are. Yes, there’s a mic. Yes, there’s a disco ball. And yes, we fully expect you to hit the high note.
But here’s the clever kicker: each month, Brunchflix switches up its storyline. Expect new themes, new décor, new drama. From film noir mysteries to golden-age Hollywood, this brunch keeps reinventing itself faster than a rebooted franchise. The debut edition? A gripping detective mystery theme, complete with hidden clues, theatrical touches, and just the right amount of scandal.
Brunchflix is for cinephiles, brunch devotees, and anyone who’s ever wished their meal came with a soundtrack and a surprise finale. Forget watching the movie – be the movie.
Scene Stealer Alert:
Whether you’re belting out 2000s bangers, sipping sake with your crew, or simply soaking in the theatrical energy – Brunchflix promises a Saturday brunch you’ll be talking about long after the credits roll.
