The menu features Greek classics like tzatziki and melitzanosalata, along with refreshing salads and flavourful main courses such as sea bream fillet and chicken souvlaki.
Weekend brunch at Kimura-Ya
Kimura-Ya is one of those restaurants that foodies whisper about to their friends. Choose any three-hour slot from 12 noon to 9pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and get ready to enjoy authentic Japanese specialities including grilled yakitori skewers, deliciously light tempura, Osaka-style okonomiyaki pancakes and more. If you’re not sure what to choose, the friendly staff will be more than happy to make recommendations too.

Dare to brunch at STK
Every Saturday, STK hosts a brunch so good they do it twice. There's a traditional afternoon sitting but, for those who like to start their fun a little later, STK also serves up a treat from 8pm to 11pm. There's plenty to enjoy, including crab sliders, steamed dumplings, roasted salmon and some of the finest steaks in the city. Avoiding meat? Vegetarians rate the restaurant's curried celeriac steak very highly. Head over and see what all the fuss is about.
Blushing Dragon at Karma Kafé
Located in Souk Al Bahar, a weekend dining experience at Karma Kafé is always worth it. Every Friday, from 8pm till 11pm, guests can savour a selection of the restaurant's Pan-Asian bestsellers, such as salmon tartare, miso eggplant, housemade dim sum, Japanese coconut curry and more. Consider booking a table on their terrace, which overlooks the mesmerising Dubai Fountain and record-breaking Burj Khalifa. Still hungry? The incredible Time Out Market is right next door.
Dark Brunch at Hutong
Hutong is ushering in early weekend vibes with its neon-lit Dark Brunch, hosted every Thursday from 9pm to midnight. With a focus on delicious spreads as well as live entertainment, the late-night dining experience caters to both foodies and revellers. Dig into the three-course menu, featuring some of the Chinese restaurant's speciality dishes like the kung pao chicken, and interact with lively drummers or performers as they stop by your table. Leave room for dessert – the sorbets particularly are a delight, hitting the right notes between sweet, tangy and refreshing.
