GATSBY BRUNCH AT RAY'S BAR

CONRAD ETIHAD TOWERS


Hands down the best themed brunch in town, Gatsby brings the Roaring 20s to your door. It's not often the crazily good views from Ray's Bar aren't the biggest draw, but in this case the fabulously flapper-esque drinks, food, live band and props trump all. Grab your boa and bowler and get on your feet - feeling so Gatsby!
