Friday Brunch in Dubai

Sarah Mitchell June 24, 2026

I still remember my first Friday brunch in Dubai, it was on January 7th, and I was blown away by the sheer variety of options. We headed to a restaurant near the Dubai Marina metro station and spent the afternoon indulging in a massive spread. And, let me tell you, it was love at first bite.

What is Friday Brunch?

But, for those who don't know, Friday brunch is a big deal in Dubai. It's a time when friends and family get together to enjoy a leisurely meal, usually with unlimited drinks and food. You'll find everything from seafood to sushi, and from Italian to Indian cuisine.

Best Friday Brunch Spots

Look, I've tried a lot of brunch spots in Dubai, and some of my favorites include the ones at the Atlantis, The Palm, and the Radisson Blu Hotel. The prices vary, but you can expect to pay around AED 250-AED 500 per person for a decent brunch. Honestly, it's not cheap, but it's worth it.

Brunch with a View

So, if you're looking for a brunch spot with a view, you should check out the restaurants at the Burj Khalifa or the Dubai Mall. They offer stunning views of the city and are perfect for a special occasion. I once ordered the foie gras at a restaurant near the Burj Khalifa, and it was to die for.

Brunch on a Budget

Here's the thing: you don't have to break the bank to enjoy a good brunch in Dubai. There are plenty of affordable options available, like the ones at the Jumeirah Lakes Towers or the Dubai Media City. You can find brunch deals starting from AED 150 per person, which is a steal.

What to Do After Brunch

And, after brunch, you can always head out to explore the city. You could visit the 3D World Selfie Museum Dubai or take a Sharjah City Tour. Whatever you choose, make sure to book your tours through Roamigo Trips for a hassle-free experience. My driver, Ahmed, was very helpful during my last tour.

So, the next time you're in Dubai, don't forget to try a Friday brunch. You won't regret it, and who knows, you might even discover a new favorite spot. Just remember to book your table in advance, as these places can get pretty busy.
