Brunch in Dubai has a reputation for eye-watering price tags, so an unlimited weekend deal at Dhs74 is worth a second look. Circle Café has rolled out an all-you-can-eat brunch across most of its branches, running every Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 4pm — a generous window whether you're a late riser or a team breakfast sort.
The extended menu covers the usual breakfast and lunch bases, with a few interesting detours. There's a classic English breakfast, plus Istanbul eggs served with Greek pita for something with a bit more character. Vegetarians get proper options rather than an afterthought: avocado toast and avocado hummus both make the cut.
If you're settling in for the long haul, the lunch side of the menu keeps things going — chicken schnitzel, pink sauce pasta, a crunchy noodle salad and butter chicken are all in play. And because a Dubai brunch isn't complete without something sweet, the highlights here are strawberry cream pancakes, brioche French toast and a berry yoghurt jar.
Families are clearly part of the plan. Kids get their own dedicated menu, with mini pancakes and a chocolate yoghurt jar likely to be the favourites. Every venue is fully equipped with high chairs, and pets are welcome too — as long as they stick to the outdoor seating areas.
One practical note: Circle Café operates seven branches across Dubai, so check the hours of your chosen spot before heading out. Participating locations include Dubai Media City, Dubai Studio City, DIFC, Bay Square, Jumeirah Islands, Healthcare City and Arabian Ranches 3 — which means there's a decent chance one is near wherever you're staying or living.
Why does this matter to travellers? Dubai's brunch scene skews towards hotel affairs that can easily run into hundreds of dirhams per person. A fixed-price, eat-as-much-as-you-like setup at a casual café is a rare find, and the eight-hour service window makes it flexible enough to double as breakfast, lunch or both. For families juggling kids and jet lag, or anyone easing into a Dubai stopover without committing to a marathon hotel brunch, it's a low-stakes way to do the city's favourite weekend ritual. Just note this is a sponsored announcement, so it's worth confirming current pricing and the exact participating branches with the café before you go.
