Dubai Brunch Guide: Current Packages, Prices and Offers to Check

Facts checked on 9 October 2026. The current published packages below are separated from dated launch prices, unconfirmed older offers and STK’s temporary closure. Compare the final booking total and the menu attached to your date.

Our starting picks for Dubai brunch are Zuma for its sushi-and-robata format, Hutong for dim sum, Jamavar for an Indian weekend menu, and Papas when a published DJ-led Italian package is the plan. For families, compare Trader Vic’s Palm and Bubbalicious by the children’s terms. For Sunday, Nikki Beach’s Amazing Sundays and Jamavar give you specific published options. Choose the meal and group first, then the drinks tier.

This guide covers 22 venue entries by area, with current package examples and older offers clearly identified. A listed base price is not always the final bill: Hutong and Amazónico add a 7% fee, while SHI’s menu states VAT and municipality fees are included. Two people wanting the same soft package have a different budget from a group choosing Champagne or a later drinks extension.

Key takeaways

• Choose the specific day and service: Saturday, Sunday and evening formats have different menus and windows.
• Read the complete drinks tier; house does not automatically include Champagne, and premium can change the food too.
• Use the exact venue: Palm, JBR, Mina Seyahi, DIFC and Downtown are different journeys.
• Calculate the final price after any listed fees, not only the headline base.
• STK is marked temporarily closed; dated ZEA, Fi’lia, 101 and Above Eleven references require a current named booking.

Quick-reference table

How Dubai brunch pricing actually works

Read the package’s food and drinks together. A soft tier covers the listed non-alcoholic selection; a house or premium tier has its own named beverages. Do not assume “house” includes Champagne, that every spirit is available, or that all tiers serve identical food. CÉ LA VI’s premium Saturday tier, for example, specifies a premium set menu. Choose the contents you want, then compare the final quoted total.

For us, the simplest comparison starts with the meal duration, actual food format and usable drinks list. A three-hour unlimited-drinks period inside a four-hour booking window is different from four hours of drinks. SHI makes that distinction explicit. An afterparty is another product again: CLAY’s 4pm–6pm extension follows its 1pm–4pm brunch, rather than adding two free hours to every booking.

Settle any added fee, child rate, table minimum and service window before paying. A brunch booking at a coastal hotel does not automatically include swimming, a lounger or beach-club access. Choose that separately when it belongs in the day. For a group, establish whether everyone must take the same menu or drinks tier; the answer comes from the particular booking terms.

DIFC

DIFC gives this list Japanese, Latin American and Northern Chinese choices. Compare the food and drinks you want rather than treat the district as one brunch style. Zuma, Amazónico, Sexy Fish and Hutong publish distinct formats and windows. ZEA’s dated MESTIZOS launch is retained separately from a current reservation quotation.

Zuma — current Saturday tiers

Zuma’s Saturday Baikingu runs 12:30pm–4pm, with published packages of AED 545, AED 645 and AED 795. The format includes sushi and robata stations, table-served mains and a dessert room. Choose it when the group wants that range within a defined package. Use the actual drinks tier and the listed 7% authority fee when comparing the bill;

Amazónico — AED 445 plus 7%

Amazónico’s current Saturday packages are AED 445, AED 545 and AED 745, plus 7%. The booking window is noon–4:30pm, with a 3.5-hour meal inside it. Choose it for its Latin American menu and published music programme. The afterparty from 4:30pm–6:30pm has separate terms. Our Amazónico guide explains the menu and food-budget choices.

Sexy Fish — day and night from AED 380

Sexy Fish publishes Saturday brunch 12:30pm–4pm and Thursday Night Edition 8:30pm–11:30pm, from AED 380. Both use its food-and-entertainment concept, with the Candy Room described by the operator. Choose the specific edition before comparing higher tiers or an extension.

Hutong — AED 288 plus 7%

Hutong’s Saturday Imperial Brunch is 12:30pm–3:30pm. Its currently linked menu lists AED 288 soft, AED 448 house, AED 488 prosecco and AED 798 premium Champagne, with VAT included and 7% authority fees added. The menu includes dim sum and a choice of main; the roast Peking duck carries a separate supplement. We would choose it when those Northern Chinese dishes are the reason for brunch. Thursday Dark Brunch is a separate 8pm–10:30pm service.

ZEA MESTIZOS — dated launch reference

ZEA’s MESTIZOS was announced for Sundays, 3pm–7pm, from 30 August 2026, with an AED 265 launch starting price. That dated announcement is a reference, not a current quotation. The operator’s present events brochure contains private-event menus with different tier prices, so those cannot be substituted for the Sunday offer. Use the specific MESTIZOS reservation menu and price for a booking.

Downtown Dubai & Business Bay

For Downtown and Business Bay, compare the roof-height setting at CÉ LA VI with the Italian menu at Fi’lia and Indian weekend format at Jamavar. City Social belongs to the Marina section, at Grosvenor House.

CÉ LA VI — current day and Thursday night tiers

CÉ LA VI’s Saturday Skyline Brunch is 12:30pm–4pm, with AED 390 soft, AED 490 house and AED 690 premium/Champagne tiers. Its Thursday Night Brunch runs 7pm–10pm, also at AED 390, AED 490 and AED 690; the house description includes prosecco. Thursday is 21+. Choose the evening when its DJ-and-saxophone programme is part of the plan; use the Saturday premium menu when comparing the food as well as drinks.

Fi’lia — from Dhs299

Fi’lia is at SLS Dubai, Business Bay, Floor 70. Its published March 2026 brunch PDF gives AED 299 and lists Italian antipasti, pizza, mini panini, cannoli and tiramisu, with taxes and service included. Arrange the actual current package and service window with the restaurant. Arrange the applicable brunch service before using that reference. Its currently advertised daily Italian lunch starts at AED 105; that is a separate meal.

Jamavar — Saturday and Sunday Royal Brunch

Jamavar’s Royal Brunch is advertised Saturday and Sunday, from AED 295 non-alcoholic or AED 395 alcoholic. The current What’s On page lists noon–4pm, while its menu PDF gives 12:30pm as the start, so use the confirmed reservation time. Choose it for the Indian menu, with street-food and southern-Indian elements, then compare the actual beverage inclusion.

Dubai Marina & JBR

Marina and JBR provide distinct restaurant and music-led offers. Papas publishes a 21+ Saturday Italian package; The MAINE has a raw-bar-and-stations format with different daytime and evening sessions. ATTIKO is at W Dubai – Mina Seyahi. STK’s operator currently marks that venue temporarily closed, so it is not an active recommendation.

City Social, Marina — current Saturday packages

City Social is at Grosvenor House, Dubai Marina, Floor 43. Its current Social Brunch is Saturday 12:30pm–4pm, with AED 395 soft, AED 495 sparkling and AED 795 Champagne. It is 21+. A separate City After Dark service runs Saturday 7pm–10:30pm at the same listed tiers.

STK — temporarily closed

STK Dubai is currently marked temporarily closed on its operator’s venue page. Old Saturday day and Dare to Disco prices should not be used to plan a reservation now. Retained menus, event links or an international brand page are not confirmation of a reopening. Keep this entry for status awareness; choose a currently bookable service elsewhere in the guide for the planned occasion.

ATTIKO — current 1pm–4pm service

ATTIKO’s current Saturday Sky Brunch is 1pm–4pm, with dinner reopening at 6pm. The operator makes the venue 21+, with smart-elegant dress excluding shorts, flip-flops and sportswear. Use its linked current brunch reservation for the package quote for the applicable food and drinks inclusions. Choose it for the Pan-Asian rooftop format at W Dubai – Mina Seyahi, Floor 31.

The MAINE — Overboard from AED 395

The MAINE Oyster Bar & Grill is at DoubleTree by Hilton JBR. Its current linked Overboard offer lists Saturday noon–4pm or 6pm–9pm, with AED 395 soft, AED 450 house, AED 550 prosecco and AED 800 Champagne. Stations include the raw bar, pasta wheel, pizza and carvery. Choose the menu format and actual session for the booking. The venue’s broader weekend page also mentions Sunday; use the live availability for the particular date.

Papas — Nonna’s House from AED 425

Papas’ Nonna’s House is Saturday 1pm–4pm, with AED 425 soft, AED 545 house and AED 600 sparkling. The operator specifies 21+ only, a three-course sharing menu, a bread table, drinks and a DJ programme. Choose it when that Italian package suits the group. It is Papas at InterContinental Dubai Marina, not Papa Dubai in Business Bay.

Palm Jumeirah & nearby beach clubs

A Palm restaurant brunch and a pool or beach day pass are separate purchases unless the chosen offer expressly combines them. Start with the meal, then compare any water access, bed type, food credit and age policy. For our money, the better booking is the one that covers the actual day you intend to have, rather than a more expensive package with benefits you will barely use.

101 — confirm the current named brunch

101 is at One&Only The Palm. The resort’s March 2025 launch announcement gave Catch of the Day brunch on Saturdays, 1pm–5pm, from AED 390. This is a dated launch reference for that named service. Its current dining page provides the venue and reservation route; establish whether that named brunch and package apply to your date. The waterfront restaurant, private dining and resort pool access have separate arrangements.

Nikki Beach — Amazing Sundays

Nikki Beach’s Amazing Sundays lists AED 350 with soft drinks or AED 450 with house beverages, in a three-hour package. Children aged 6–11 are AED 175; under-6s dine free. The operator limits guests under 21 to the restaurant area during brunch. Choose it when that Pearl Jumeira setting and Sunday format fit the family or group. Café Nikki’s hotel service is separate; do not transfer its Saturday menu or inclusions to the beach-club booking.

Above Eleven — older Yunza offer to confirm

Above Eleven previously published a Yunza brunch menu at AED 295 soft, AED 395 house, AED 495 premium and AED 650 Champagne. That menu is dated May 2025. Its current venue information advertises evening service and the Nikkei Experience, so arrange an explicitly confirmed daytime service before choosing Yunza. Use a named current reservation before arranging a day around Yunza. Above Eleven remains a rooftop Nikkei restaurant at Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah.

Trader Vic’s — from Dhs325

Trader Vic’s Palm now advertises Puka Puka Brunch, Saturday 1pm–5pm, with AED 325 soft, AED 425 house and AED 625 premium. Children aged 6–12 are AED 100. Its separate Reloaded Drunch is 5pm–7pm, with a different drinks offer. Choose the brunch when the tropical menu and family terms fit the day. This is Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah, not Trader Vic’s at Hilton Dubai Jumeirah in JBR.

Bluewaters & City Walk

Bluewaters gives the list two different cuisine formats: Chinese and Japanese selections at SHI, and Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei at CLAY. Compare their actual menu stages, drinks periods and starting prices.

SHI — Dynasty from AED 325

SHI’s current Dynasty Brunch is Saturday and Sunday, 1pm–5pm, with three hours of unlimited drinks inside that window. The linked menu lists AED 325 soft, AED 450 house and AED 650 premium, including 5% VAT and 7% municipality fees. Food includes sushi, dim sum, Peking-duck rolls and a choice of main and side. The drinks period should not be described as four unlimited hours.

CLAY — Nikkei from AED 350

CLAY’s current Nikkei Brunch is Saturday 1pm–4pm, followed by a separate 4pm–6pm afterparty. The published tiers are AED 350 soft, AED 445 signature and AED 545 premium; its menu says VAT is included. Choose it for the Japanese-Peruvian food format and the actual Saturday programme. An afterparty drinks bundle adds another cost; it is not automatically included in the three-hour brunch price.

Evening & party brunches

For an evening meal, choose the current night-brunch or set-menu offer rather than rely on an older daytime label. CÉ LA VI and Sexy Fish publish Thursday night editions, City Social publishes Saturday City After Dark, and Gitano has a Saturday night service. TABŪ’s current Taste of TABŪ is a food-led evening set, with separate drinks.

TABŪ — current evening set-meal alternative

TABŪ’s current Taste of TABŪ is Wednesday and Thursday, 8pm–11pm, at AED 169 per person. Its linked 2026 menu gives a starter, main, side and dessert choice, with the stated taxes and service included. That is an evening set-meal alternative, with drinks ordered and priced separately. Choose the food set when it suits the evening and add the actual drinks separately. The restaurant is at The St. Regis Downtown on Marasi Drive.

Gitano — Saturday day and night offers

Gitano at J1 Beach publishes Saturday Day Fiesta, 1pm–5pm, from AED 399, and Ceremonia Night Brunch, 8pm–11pm, from AED 495. Both have their own food-and-entertainment format. Choose the actual session and beverage tier before adding anything else to the day. A sunbed or beach package is another product; the venue’s beach location does not place those benefits inside every brunch reservation.

Lock, Stock & Barrel JBR lists 5pm–8pm, with AED 375 soft, AED 425 house and AED 525 sparkling food-and-drinks packages. A separate AED 350 house-drinks-only option excludes food. Choose the order that provides the meal you want and use the JBR venue’s actual terms. Other LSB branches have their own offers, and old Barfly prices should not be carried across without the applicable current menu.

Best family brunch

Bubbalicious at The Westin Mina Seyahi — check current packages

Bubbalicious at The Westin Mina Seyahi is the family-format option on this shortlist, with Saturday service published 1pm–4pm. The hotel directs reservations and current packages through its booking flow. Arrange the actual adult and child tiers for the party instead of inventing a universal price or assuming every activity is included. Choose it when the spread and family arrangements suit the group, with those inclusions established before paying.

Best budget brunches (under Dhs300)

For a lower listed starting price, compare Jamavar’s AED 295 Royal Brunch and Hutong’s AED 288 soft package. Hutong’s added 7% takes that base to AED 308.16 per person, so it is not a complete sub-AED-300 booking. Fi’lia’s AED 299 published brunch menu needs its current service confirmed.

• Jamavar — listed Royal Brunch base AED 295; use the package’s final quote.
• Hutong — listed soft base AED 288; AED 308.16 with its added 7%.
• Fi’lia — published March menu AED 299; confirm whether the brunch service applies.
• Farmers Commons, Hotel Local, JVT — use the operator’s current food and family offer; no old price band retained.
• Soul St. and McGettigan’s — compare the actual branch and current package; no generic sub-AED-300 claim.
• Market Café, Grand Hyatt Dubai — Oud Metha, not Business Bay; establish the current offer before using it as a budget recommendation.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the actual difference between a soft, house and premium brunch package?

A soft tier covers the stated non-alcoholic selection. House and premium tiers have their own named drinks, and sometimes different food. Compare the complete package. SHI’s menu lists three tiers at AED 325, AED 450 and AED 650; CÉ LA VI separately identifies a premium set menu in its Saturday top tier.

Do I need to book in advance?

Reserve when the occasion needs a specific service, table or group arrangement. Bubbalicious requires advance arrangements through its booking route; other venues publish their own terms. There is no verified universal minimum of two or three weeks for every brunch. Choose the date and applicable package, then settle any deposit, cancellation policy and arrival deadline.

What’s the difference between a party brunch and a fine-dining brunch?

Choose a music-led programme when the entertainment is part of the celebration, and a particular menu or service when the meal is the main interest. Papas, Gitano and Sexy Fish publish entertainment-led formats, while Hutong, Zuma and Jamavar offer different cuisine-focused menu structures. A “fine-dining” label does not prove low volume, and a DJ programme does not prove the kitchen is secondary.

Are kids welcome?

Use the specific venue’s age policy. Trader Vic’s Palm publishes AED 100 for children aged 6–12; Nikki Beach lists AED 175 for ages 6–11, with under-6s free in the restaurant arrangement. ATTIKO, City Social’s Social Brunch and Papas’ Nonna’s House are 21+. Establish the children’s menu and access for the actual booking instead of assuming every hotel brunch accepts every age.

Is there a dress code?

Use the venue’s own dress rules. ATTIKO publishes smart-elegant requirements excluding shorts, flip-flops and sportswear. A coastal location does not automatically authorise beachwear for a restaurant booking. Choose clothing suited to the service and settle any specific admission requirement with the venue before arranging a group around it.

Can I do brunch on a day other than Friday or Saturday?

Yes. Jamavar advertises Saturday and Sunday Royal Brunch, SHI offers Dynasty on both weekend days, and Nikki Beach publishes Amazing Sundays. For Thursday evening, compare CÉ LA VI or Sexy Fish’s named night editions. TABŪ’s Wednesday/Thursday Taste set is another evening meal format, with drinks priced separately. Pick the actual service rather than transfer a Saturday package to another day.

What should I actually budget for a good brunch?

Start with the final quote for the tier you want, then add any fee or optional extension. Two soft Papas packages at AED 425 total AED 850 before other applicable extras. Two Hutong soft packages at AED 288 become AED 616.32 after its listed 7% fee. Those are different menus and venues. Choose by the meal, setting and party, not by assuming a higher price always means better food.

Before you book

Our advice is to agree the food format, drinks tier and usable time before paying. For a mixed group, a named set package gives a clear starting commitment, while a separate afterparty adds another decision. For a family, age and child-rate terms come first. For a particular cuisine, start with the actual menu. Keep swimming, loungers and late drinks as separate choices unless the booking explicitly includes them.

Three couple-budget comparisons

Two Amazónico base packages at AED 445 total AED 890; its 7% fee takes that to AED 952.30. Two SHI soft packages at AED 325 total AED 650, with the menu’s stated VAT and municipality fee included. Two Papas soft packages total AED 850 before any other applicable extras. Choose by the menu and session: these totals do not buy identical food, drinks or entertainment.

At Hutong, two AED 288 soft packages become AED 616.32 after 7%, while two AED 798 Champagne packages become AED 1,707.72. That AED 1,091.40 difference is a reason to choose the beverage category deliberately. A premium label is useful only when you actually want its included selection. For families, add the published child rates separately and confirm access for the chosen service.
