The brunch is a busy, loud affair- the staff are friendly, the food is good, and the variety is second to none. Its a shame that such great food is ruined by Jumeirah's terrible reservations system and attitude towards patrons, even regulars who have been dining at their restaurants for a decade. N.B. It doesn't matter if you have a... More

Although £100 sounds rather expensive for brunch, you get all you can eat and drink from 12:30 to 16:00 hrs. A must if staying in Dubai.

Went with family to Friday brunch at the enormous hotel and equally enormous restaurant. Only time I queue for a restaurant is macdonalds on a hangover so waiting 15minutes here to be seated was rather ordinary. Upon arriving at the front of the queue they had lost our reservation, made us wait on one side with 3 year old and... More

Always have a good time because we go with a group, massive selection of food so annoying if you're wearing high heels because of all the walking. I always get fed up with getting up after a while. Worth having a good look about before you start because you will need to pace yourself food and drink wise. None of... More

Had lunch here. This is splendid setting - we opted for the terrace in the shadow of Burj al Arab, over looking the ocean. The food was very good & the staff very friendly. We opted for British fayre which was beautifully presented & cooked. The desserts were rich & tasty, if not a bit naughty calorie wise. Our only... More

I was a little bit dissapointed. A lot of food, a lot of beverages, but I was annoyed with the people there.

This brunch was recommended as one of the best in Dubai - We can see why. The food and ambience were second to none. We sat on the terrace in the sun and listened to a duo playing all afternoon. The choice of food was immense from oysters, crab, lobster and prawns through to Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Carvery, Mexican, Spanish,... More

Overrated. I really do not understand how this place got top rating. It was most disappointing to learn that real Champagne comes at an approximate extra 50%. The food is on par with most other brunches in Dubai.

We had Friday brunch here with My Mum & Dad, both in their 80's and My Brother in Law and his wife to celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary.
