How we chose these 11 brunch picks
This isn't a scraped directory. We visit and pay for our own meals, then rank on food first, then value, room and how reliably a kitchen repeats - across multiple visits in 2024-26. We take no payment for placement, and we revisit when a head chef or menu changes. Where a venue has slipped, it drops; where a newcomer earns it, it climbs. L'Amo Bistrò del Mare, Boardwalk Brunch and Carine at Emirates Golf Club currently sit at the top for that reason.
How to use this list. Each entry shows its cuisine, a real price range per person and the dish we'd order first, so you can shortlist by budget and craving in seconds. Prices are what we actually paid including the usual taxes and service, not headline menu figures, and we re-check them each quarter. Booking notes flag which spots need a reservation and how far ahead - useful when L'Amo Bistrò del Mare, Boardwalk Brunch fills up on weekends.
