Top 10 Brunches in Dubai (2026)

By Sarah Haddad

Which Dubai brunch fits your afternoon?

Choose Saffron or En Fuego for an adults-only party; Bubbalicious for a three-restaurant buffet with child options; or Giardino for a family buffet with named pool and kids’ club access. Zuma combines Japanese live counters with a table-served main, while Netsu centres on Warayaki cooking and shared starters. Tasca brings Portuguese food and a sixth-floor setting, COYA a lively Peruvian brunch, Mott 32 Chinese cooking and high-floor JBR views, and Beefbar a table-served meal beside Turtle Lagoon.

How to use this shortlist

These ten brunches form an editorial shortlist for different cuisines, occasions and budgets, without a measured best-to-worst ranking. Details were reviewed on 18 October 2026 against restaurant operators’ pages and menus. Times are Dubai local time and prices are AED per person unless stated otherwise. Regular weekly packages and special-event offers can differ. Saffron and En Fuego’s Saturday brunches are adults only; the family options have their own child prices and seating rules.

For adults-only party brunches

For family buffets and resort afternoons

For Japanese counters, grills and shared-table dishes

For Portuguese, Peruvian, Chinese or table-served sharing food

Choose the occasion, then compare the full package

For a party without children, start with Saffron’s international buffet or En Fuego’s Mexican fiesta. Bubbalicious and Giardino offer explicit child packages; Bubbalicious’s BABA seating starts at age twelve, while younger children can sit in Mina’s Kitchen or Sui Mui. Giardino’s regular brunch includes its named pools and Kids Club, making it the clearest resort-afternoon option in this shortlist.

Food format matters as much as cuisine. Zuma combines live counters with one main; Netsu and COYA mix shared or selected starters with a main; Beefbar serves sharing street food at the table. Tasca suits a Portuguese restaurant occasion, and Mott 32 adds Chinese cooking and a high-floor setting. A table-served package is different from unrestricted access to every item on an à la carte menu.

Compare the drink tier, children’s charge, mandatory fees and sitting together. Zuma adds a 7% authority fee to its VAT-inclusive menu prices. COYA, Netsu and Beefbar state their included charges. Tasca’s current package price needs the dated brunch menu; Mott 32’s published finish times differ. Seasonal editions, upgrades, afterparties and pool access belong to the stated offer. For vegetarian or allergy needs, arrange suitable dishes with the restaurant rather than relying on a cuisine label.

Questions before you choose

Is Saffron a family brunch, and when does its current season start?

Saffron’s Saturday brunch is strictly 21+, with valid ID required. The operator advertises the current weekly season from 17 October, 13:00–16:00. The 31 October Halloween edition has different prices.

Can children attend En Fuego’s Saturday brunch?

No. En Fuego’s Saturday 13:00–18:30 period is 21+, covering Fiesta Mexicana and the afterparty. Its Sunday family sessions and later Saturday dinner are separate. The brunch package runs 13:00–16:00; the 16:00–18:00 afterparty has its own charge.

Is Giardino’s Into the Jungle brunch on Friday or Saturday?

The current offer and restaurant pages both state Saturday, 13:00–17:00. The Friday wording remains in the offer URL. Use the published event date and offer when reserving, particularly for special editions.

Which of these brunches includes pool and kids’ club access?

Giardino’s Into the Jungle offer explicitly includes access to Palazzo Versace’s Central and West pools before or after brunch and its Kids Club. This does not establish access to every hotel pool, or any pool inclusion at the other nine brunches. Tasca’s pool-side setting alone does not include swimming.

Where is the correct COYA Dubai brunch menu?

Use the current COYA Dubai Saturday brunch event linked in its TRP profile and the October menu linked by that page. The current menu separates Fresca, cocktail, house and premium packages at AED 329, 459, 599 and 699. Other COYA cities, older menus and special events have separate offers.

Does a table-served brunch mean every dish is unlimited?

No. Zuma, Netsu and COYA specify a main choice per person alongside their counters, shared dishes or selected starters. Beefbar combines sharing starters and desserts with a main, requires all dining adults at the table to take the package, and has last orders fifteen minutes before each sitting ends. Netsu lists separately charged premium upgrades. Use the stated format for the chosen package.

How we selected these places

We selected these ten brunches for distinct food formats, cuisines, settings, family or adult occasions and published package decisions. Recommendations use restaurant-operator pages and their linked menus or booking listings, with MICHELIN used only for Tasca’s restaurant recognition. We did not visit, taste, test accessibility or dietary handling, make reservations, or score these venues against one another. Published offers can change; the agreed reservation governs the sitting and inclusions.
