Dubai certainly doesn’t come up short where brunches are concerned. The Friday/ Saturday ritual ranges from daytime to evening events, with themes and cuisines to suit every taste. Take a look at our top picks for each cuisine.

Naughty Noodles Brunch, Maiden Shanghai

Deemed the craziest brunch on the Palm Jumeirah, the Naughty Noodle Brunch can be found at Dubai’s super popular Maiden Shanghai.

In addition to the incredible food, you’ll be served bottomless drinks and cocktails through the day, to keep the party flowing.

Brunch Actually, Pizza Express Live

For: Italian.

Back in the UK, we definitely don’t place Pizza Express and Brunch in the same bracket, but it’s a different story in Dubai. Quickly becoming a favourite for those looking for a brunch with no fuss, good food and great vibes, Pizza Express Live is ticking all the boxes. Although no the most glamorous of venues, one thing you can rely on is great food. If your a pizza lover, you won’t be disappointed by the endless fresh pizza and dough balls, and of course, bottomless drinks.

Dare to Brunch, STK

For: Steak.

If your all about steak, and love a good party – STK’s brunch will be right up your street. The dimly-lit venue has a club feel, with blaring music, choreographed dancers and a saxophonist making the rounds. The food menu is pretty impressive too, with sharing starters including burrata and beef tartare, while the main is chosen from the menu, including a choice of fillet or striploin steak. You won’t be short of sides either, with crunchy green beans, yummy fries and the best of all – MAC & CHEESE. This brunch is definitely entertainment heavy, so if your looking for a event to carry you into the night – this is it.
