And that’s for the house beverage package!

Dubai brunches are stuff of legend. Free flowing drinks, lavish feasts and a lively atmosphere, Dubai’s Friday brunch scene is thriving more than ever. But no longer just restricted to Friday afternoon, many restaurants now dedicate Thursday evenings and Saturdays to the all-inclusive spread.

But they can get pretty pricey. Premium brunches charge anywhere between Dhs500 and Dhs900 for their champagne packages, and brunching in Dubai can become an expensive hobby. But it doesn’t have to be. For those that want to brunch without the hefty price tag, we’ve rounded up six brunches in Dubai that come in at under Dhs200 for the house beverage package.

Thursday: Zero Gravity

Games in the garden, unlimited buffet, free flowing drinks from the pop up bars – this alfresco Thursday evening brunch has got it all. It’s a six hour package for Dhs199 – and guests can come and go as they please. It’s a great place for to mingle before you hit the dance floor, where Zero Gravity’s resident DJs will spin top house hits each week.
