Description: Yalumba is back! Since its establishment in Dubai over 10 years ago, Yalumba has been synonymous with authentic international cuisine. With our award-winning brunch, Thursday Bubbly night, and original seafood night promotions, we are a favourite destination for residents and tourists alike. Whether you’re a serious foodie, part of the brunch crowd, or just looking for a good time and great cuisine, Yalumba has always been the place to be.

If you're looking for a smart evening brunch with a touch of excitement this is exactly what you're looking for! it has all the food stations you could wish for including sushi, seafood, hot & cold dishes, a large outside BBQ and of course a huge dessert counter! as you'd expect of any establishment that serves unlimited alcohol it can get a little exciteaable a couple of hours in, which is fun! but its much smarter than a number of the other brunches that take place in Dubai! I'd definitely return! This whole hotel seems to get brunches absolutely spot on, as they have Warehouse brunch opposite which is also absolutely brilliant, however that one is much better on a Friday lunchtime!

Unlimited champagne, friendly service, great food, good atmosphere (despite the rain). What's not to like?

Went to Yalumba for their Cocktail Thursday night brunch. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived until leaving - nothing was too much trouble. The food was of an excellent quality - amazing roasts and dim sum. The Chef was a real character and obviously enjoyed interacting with guests.
The drinks were very free flowing and the staff made sure that everyone was topped up before the drink package cut off.
if you want to have a fun party style dinner and drinks too kick your weekend off its highly recommended .
I would however...... have the music a little louder.
I would also make more of a experience around the cocktails, perhaps make them in front of the guests.

We'll be back. As we have lived in the Middle East for the last 3 year we became accustomed to being patient with really poor service mostly everywhere. Room prices were very competitive and the cheapest we could find over the Easter weekend without compromising on luxury. The rooms at the Le club meridian are absolutely just that, luxury! Yalumba restaurant has a wide verity, tasteful and definitely above average service. The staff is very friendly and all so helpful. Smiles in the morning does really brighten your day. We loved every minute of our stay and eats. We'll be back

Not cheap but definitely worth it. Food is amazing, staff are incredibly nice and attentive. We sat outside which I'm glad about as it wasn't as noisy, umbrellas kept you shaded and the vibe was very chilled. The retro 80's music tops off the amazing food and the bottomless Bollinger. If you are in Dubai even for a couple of days like I was, brunch at Yalumba is a MUST
