Evening campers,

Mother Scamp is visiting and we're taking her to stay at the Viceroy for the weekend. We've done the brunch there before and was alright.

Can anyone recommend any nice brunches?
Preferably somewhere quite nice, minimal brass, you know - the usual requirements for a brunch for a parent.

Thanks in advance.

St. Regis hotel on Saadiyat.

If your staying on Yas, the one at the Westin is very good and only a 10mins taxi ride on the way back.

Highly recommend a brunch in 49ners....i kid i kid. DXBtoDoh has the winner. St Regis on Saadiyat is the best. Make sure you book a head

What if you prefer breast to head?

Oh chubby scampy, after the brunch walk over (like 100m) to Torquise bar. My fav bar in Abu Dhabi, just no hookers, hot russians or ladies nights.

Thanks, will check it out.

Thanks, did the Westin last time we stayed up there with her.

Thank you.

Has your mother ever been to the East Coast (Fujeriah, Dibba?).

Quite different vibe over there. Le Meridien is nice enough. We stopped at Sandy Beach this past weekend and I noticed they were offering 150 AED day passes that included a lunch buffet (but probably dreadful). However, a pint is only 25 AED.

IT's only 2 hours drive to/from Sandy Beach or Le Meridien.

Anantara Hotel at the Eastern Mangroves. We had a big family brunch up there and the food was genuinely outstanding. Good service and decent drinks with no Chavs anywhere. Music was at a level that promoted rather than restricted conversation.

No, that's the next time. Sandy Beach might be pushing my luck for a woman who likes the finer things.

Still, Sandy Beach is one of the best weekends I've had out here. Serious fun.

Boa at the Anantara is also on the AD entertainer, soft drinks package though.
