Family brunch in Dubai is about to get easier. HuQQabaz Jumeirah, the all-day Turkish restaurant on Jumeirah Road opposite the Four Seasons Resort, is unveiling a fully renovated kids' play area this November — and grown-ups will care about one detail in particular: entry costs nothing for any child dining with you.
The refreshed space swaps in soft pastel decor and a set of lively play zones, supervised by attendants so parents can actually finish a meal in relative peace. It's open daily from 7am to 10pm, which makes it work for everything from an early breakfast run to a late dinner. All ages are welcome, and the play area sits in a secured, non-smoking section away from the shisha lounge — a question worth asking at any Dubai venue, and here the answer is a clear yes.
The weekend programme is where it ramps up. Saturdays bring kids' workshops starting from 11am. Sundays pack in a rotating schedule: a bubble show, balloon art, face painting, science shows and arts and crafts, all timed so the little ones are worn out before the school week begins.
There's a sugar policy, too. Kids get cotton candy daily, and on Sundays between 11am and 2pm there's complimentary ice cream. A dedicated children's menu covers breakfast and lunch alongside the sweet stuff, while parents can work through HuQQabaz's signature Turkish breakfast or the broader all-day menu. The restaurant itself is open 24/7, so even the dining side is unusually flexible.
Practically speaking, this is a solid pick for the cooler months, when outdoor Jumeirah comes back to life and families start looking for spots that keep children busy without a separate ticketed soft-play fee. If you've got a Dubai trip on the books with young kids in tow, a weekend visit lines up with the busiest activity schedule; a weekday morning gets you the space at its calmest.
