Best Brunch
 

So my aunt is coming over soon, she likes good food, but also a drink and a laugh to (she run's a lively pub).

So which Brunch?

Obviously not Waxy's or something similar cos the food is shite, want something where the food is lush and there's a good atmosphere.

What's Yalumba like and where is it, heard lots.

I've been to Yalumba quite a few times... always good fun.

It's at the Le Merdien airport hotel, around the back in the Merdien Village.

It's a Champange brunch. Not much use for me as I don't drink the stuff - they very kindly get me jugs of Guinness instead :rofl:

Food is ok, you can choose buffet and/or from a menu.

Once finished there, then off to Waxys, buy your drinks tokens downstairs and then upstairs for a fry up.

Hubby's English boss went to Yalumba last night and got very sick. He said to avoid anything resembling sushi at their evening buffet as it had evidently been left out much too long.

Can someone explain to me why brits love saying, performing, participating in and promoting "brunch"?

Re: Best Brunch
 

british working class mentality of getting as much food and drink down your neck as possible, in order to get the best 'value for money'..

Re: Best Brunch

mina al salaam was my fave, but went a couple of weeks ago and they've seriously cut back, same for al qasr...the one at four seasons golf club is really, really good, amazing setting and fabulous food...

Re: Best Brunch
 

How much exactly do you guys pay for these brunches?

Re: Best Brunch
 

Oh no, dodgy Sushi is awful.

By the way, has anyone tried out Mun Chi's Thai restaurant and Sushi bar and if so what's it like and is it expensive? Not for brunch by the way!

Is that the Kar pet Mun Chi?

The Dubai Marina Yacht Club does a very good, non-bubbly brunch for I think Dhs250. Also their happy hour (2 for 1) 5.30 - 7.30 is incredibly popular with them turning people away.

Latitudes at Jumeirah Beach Hotel - great setting as you can get a table outside at this time of the year. Food is excellent, not sure of price though.
