The bottomless weekend, ranked · 2026

Best Brunch in Dubai

No city has turned brunch into an institution quite like Dubai — a three-hour, bottomless weekend ritual that ranges from grown-up steakhouse spreads to full-blown rooftop parties. These are the 13 brunches worth booking in 2026, ranked, with the vibe, the view and which to skip for a quiet meal.

Dubai brunch splits into two camps: the party brunches built around a live band and a mid-afternoon dance floor, and the refined spreads where the food and the room do the work. Both are here. What separates the best is whether the kitchen actually cooks to order or leans on a buffet, and whether the package is worth the bubbles.

Ranked by combined Food, Ambience and Value, with the verdicts flagging which rooms are a celebration and which are a calm, scenic lunch.

What is the best brunch in Dubai?

Amazónico in DIFC is the city's most talked-about party brunch, while CÉ LA VI pairs a bottomless spread with the best rooftop-and-pool view. For a more grown-up meal, CUT by Wolfgang Puck and Mott 32 lead. The right pick depends on whether you want a celebration or a refined lunch.

When is brunch in Dubai?

Dubai brunch runs on the weekend — most venues hold their main brunch on Saturday, with a growing number on Friday since the UAE moved to a Saturday-Sunday weekend in 2022. Sittings usually start between 12:30 and 1pm and run three to four hours. Book the earlier slot for the calmer crowd.

How much is brunch in Dubai?

Packages typically run from around AED 250 for a soft-drinks brunch to AED 600 and up for premium bubbles. The rooftop and party brunches (Amazónico, CÉ LA VI, Bagatelle) sit at the higher end; family-style rooms like Fi'lia and Carine are the better value.

Which Dubai brunch is best for a party?

Amazónico and Bagatelle are the party brunches — live music, a mid-afternoon dancing crowd and a high-energy room. CÉ LA VI adds a pool and a skyline. Skip these if you want conversation; for a calmer day, choose Eauzone over the water or Carine's garden.

Which Dubai brunch has the best view?

CÉ LA VI on the Address Sky View rooftop has the city's best skyline-and-pool brunch view, while Eauzone sits over the lagoon at One&Only Royal Mirage for the most serene setting. La Mar and Mott 32 both look over the marina and the water.
