The 10 Best Brunches in Dubai (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 10 picks

The best brunches in Dubai in 2026 are Bubbalicious at the Westin Mina Seyahi, Zuma in DIFC, The Fore at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, the Al Qasr Brunch at Madinat Jumeirah and Mott 32 in JBR. Since the UAE moved to a Saturday-Sunday weekend, Saturday is the main brunch day, and nearly every venue on this list requires an advance reservation.

Dubai's brunch scene started as a Friday tradition, but since the UAE moved to a Saturday-Sunday weekend, most big brunches now run on Saturday afternoons. Every venue here lists its day and hours on its own website; prices are only quoted where the venue publishes them, because packages change often and come in tiers (soft drinks, house drinks, sparkling).

Brunch in Dubai usually means a fixed-price package with unlimited food and, for the higher tiers, alcohol. Hotels in this guide serve alcohol; ask about the soft-drinks package if you do not drink. For dinner picks see the best restaurants in Dubai, and for a quieter weekend meal the best cafes.
