Japanese foodie fans in Dubai have a brand new brunch to sink their chopsticks into at Morimoto, the self-titled restaurant by acclaimed chef Masaharu Morimoto.

The Morimoto Brunch takes over the stunning split-level restaurant – found on the two top floors of the Renaissance Downtown Hotel, Dubai – every Friday.

The brunch kicks off at 12.30pm upstairs in the Morimoto lounge bar, where pre-drinks are served up to a lively and eclectic mix of house beats.

Then, guests can head downstairs to tuck into some top quality Japanese dishes. It’s a mix of dishes served to the table as well as live cooking stations where you can help yourself from the open kitchen and an unlimited sushi bar.

To drink, the brunch serves up a selection of themed ‘Zodiac’ cocktails and house beverages, or you can head to the dedicated sake bar to shake up some sake infusions.

But this isn’t just about the food and drink. An exciting program of live entertainment with a Japanese twist complements the package, as well as a DJ who spins lively beats.

And the party isn’t over when brunch ends. At 4pm, guests can head back upstairs to the Morimoto lounge bar where a DJ spins until 6pm. Or now the weather’s cooled down, don’t miss the opportunity to party out on the outdoor terrace. The upscale spot offers some of the best post-brunch views of the Burj around…
