BRUNCH AT THE PALACE Emirates Palace

As autumn arrives in the capital, so does the promise of exciting new brunches to enjoy in the cooler months. But, there’s one so palatial that no one should leave the emirates without checking it off their Friday brunch bucket list, and it can only be found at Emirates Palace.

Diners sit poolside in the shade of tall palm trees with silhouettes of nearby palaces, the Abu Dhabi skyline, and the azure Arabian sea in view. Ambient music plays as you drift culinary from continent to continent, plate by plate, sampling the very best of the world’s cuisines without leaving the emirate. 25 gazebos of the finest gourmet street food a palace kitchen can whip up await you…

If foie gras and duck, decadently healthy salads, Texan barbecue, oysters on the half shell, poached Omani lobster medallions, New Zealand half shell mussels, sea urchin, and desserts topped with 24K gold sound like a feast fit for kings, this brunch is all that and so much more.

"Expect a lavish spread of lobster, oysters, decadent healthy salads and desserts topped with 24K gold at this feast fit for kings."
