Amazónico business lunch: current price and format
The official Menu Ejecutivo business lunch is available Monday to Friday from 12pm to 5.45pm for AED 155 per person. It includes:
- gazpacho and pan de queso on arrival;
- a choice of two starters from 12 options; and
- one main course from eight options.
Dessert is an additional AED 40. The venue currently lists an AED 95 wine carafe, alongside cocktails and non-alcoholic choices. The AED 155 base price is the figure published on Amazónico’s current menu page.
How to choose from the lunch menu
The lunch works best when the two starters provide contrast. The current venue page highlights dishes such as Poblano Patacones, while the booking menu lists options spanning ceviche, sushi, lamb skewers and prawns. Main examples include Cachete de Res (slow-cooked beef cheek), Corvina Romesco (sea bass), Picanha Brazilian, lamb and baby chicken.
Dietary menus and recipes can change. Ask the restaurant directly about allergens, cross-contact and substitutions; a dish name or vegetable-led description is not proof that it is vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or nut-free.
Amazónico Saturday brunch: packages compared
Saturday brunch runs from 12pm to 4.30pm, with the lounge after-party from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. OpenTable states that each package covers 3.5 hours from the reservation time, so a later booking should not be assumed to receive the whole noon-to-4.30pm window.
| Package | Listed price | Drinks included |
|---|---|---|
| Amazonian Oasis | AED 495 | Water, juices, soft drinks, hot drinks and mocktails |
| Jungle Spirits | AED 595 | Selected wine, beer, spirits and cocktails |
| Tropical Bubbles | AED 795 | Selected wine, beer, cocktails and Champagne |
The current official brunch page advertises 25% off brunch packages for UAE residents. Treat that as a dated promotion, not a permanent price: confirm eligibility, end date, required ID and whether the discount applies to the date and package you select.
The brunch menu is a sharing format with bites, starters, one main per guest, desserts and package drinks. Current examples include pan de queso, Peruvian ceviche, Chirashi Maki, lamb anticucho, Brazilian picanha, sea bass with romesco and roasted pineapple dessert.
OpenTable currently labels the brunch lounge areas as 21+. Families should not rely on the restaurant’s general child rule for this specific experience.
À la carte menu and realistic price planning
Amazónico does not publish one fixed dinner spend because the à-la-carte total depends heavily on seafood, steaks, sides, cocktails and wine. OpenTable places the venue in its “AED 185 and over” price category, but that is a category marker—not an average bill or a spending cap.
Build a realistic estimate from the live Amazónico menus:
- Choose the number of raw, sushi or hot starters the table will actually share.
- Add one main per guest or the precise sharing cut selected.
- Add sides rather than assuming they accompany every protein.
- Add water, cocktails or wine using the current drinks list.
- Check service charge, taxes and any table conditions in the booking confirmation.
A generic dinner estimate is misleading without a reproducible order. A live menu calculation is more useful because two guests ordering sushi and water have a very different total from a table choosing premium meat and Champagne.
What the menu is actually built around
The official description connects Latin American cooking with Asian and Mediterranean communities in the Amazon region. In practical terms, the menu covers:
- raw and citrus-led dishes: ceviche, tiradito and tartare;
- tropical sushi: maki, nigiri and sashimi-influenced plates;
- fire and grill: steaks, skewers, fish and poultry;
- Latin American staples and ingredients: plantain, cassava, chilli, corn, coconut and tropical fruit; and
- cocktails: Latin American spirits and tropical profiles, plus no-alcohol versions of most listed cocktails.
This makes Amazónico more useful for a group that wants variety than for someone seeking a narrowly traditional national cuisine. It also means allergy questions need to cover sauces, marinades and garnishes, not only the headline protein.
Paraíso Rooftop Club and the late-night atmosphere
Paraíso is Amazónico’s rooftop nightlife space. The venue programmes local and international DJs, while its wider evening entertainment includes resident DJs, percussionists and trumpeters. This is a drinks-and-music proposition rather than a promise that a standard dining reservation includes a rooftop table.
For a specific night, check the live events calendar and contact reservations on +971 4 571 3999 or reservations@amazonico.ae. Ask four questions:
- Is Paraíso open on the date, or affected by weather/private events?
- Is the booking for the dining room, lounge or rooftop?
- Is there a minimum spend, ticket or guest-list condition?
- Does the table include food, full à la carte, or drinks and bites only?
The official contact page says full reservations are for à la carte, while drinks-and-bites tables are walk-in. That distinction matters more than vague advice that a guest list will always secure rooftop entry.
Dress code and child policy
Amazónico Dubai states a smart-casual dress code. Sportswear, beachwear and caps are not permitted. For men, shorts and open-toe shoes are not allowed, except when wearing a kandura. This is more precise than the old guide’s unsupported “cocktail-adjacent” interpretation.
The booking page says children under 10 are not permitted after 7pm, while the contact page phrases the rule as only children over 10 being permitted after 7pm. Because those wordings leave the treatment of an exactly 10-year-old unclear, confirm directly before booking. Saturday brunch has a separate 21+ listing for the lounge areas.
Reservations, last seating and table choice
Reservations open up to 90 days ahead. Amazónico’s main booking panel lists the last reservation at 11.30pm Sunday–Wednesday and 12.15am Thursday–Saturday. Its contact page says the dining-room last reservation is 12.15am and the lounge 1.30am, so the available time depends on the area and day.
Use the official booking link and read the selected experience, area, package duration, cancellation rule and card guarantee before confirming. A booking for business lunch, brunch or a seasonal set menu should not be assumed to convert into an unrestricted à-la-carte or rooftop reservation.
What is current in summer 2026?
OpenTable currently lists Noches en la Selva, an AED 280 three-course evening menu available daily from 6pm to 9pm through 30 September 2026. It also lists the AED 155 business lunch and the three Saturday-brunch tiers. These are time-sensitive experiences; the restaurant’s own booking flow is the final check for availability.
Amazónico also links to a Mar y Fuego Sunday lunch menu. Because pricing and format are not clearly stated on the main venue page, open the live menu or call rather than relying on a third-party summary.
How Amazónico differs from a conventional DIFC dinner
Amazónico’s differentiator is not a single signature plate. It is the ability to choose between a fixed-value weekday lunch, broad à-la-carte menu, entertainment brunch, lounge and rooftop within one venue. That flexibility is the attraction—and the source of most booking mistakes.
Choose it when a group wants dinner to become a late night without changing venues, or when lunch guests want a broad set menu in DIFC. Choose a quieter, food-only restaurant if conversation volume, a child-friendly late seating or a tightly traditional cuisine matters more than entertainment.
Bottom line
The strongest-value entry is the AED 155 business lunch; the most complete food-and-entertainment package is Saturday brunch; and Paraíso is the nightlife choice. For dinner, calculate the order from the live menu rather than trusting a generic average. Confirm the exact area, dress code, age rule and promotion at booking—Amazónico is several experiences sharing one address, and the right one depends on the night you actually want.
