WHITE
JUMEIRAH AT SAADIYAT ISLAND RESORT
20% OFF WITH BB+
Saturday brunch at White is the most laid-back way to spend your day. With the crisp, chic white decor and the blue sea in the background, you could be forgiven for thinking that you're somewhere tropically exotic.
Food offerings at White are outstanding: head to the outdoor grill stations for grilled-to-order steak and meat and to the smoker for fall-off-the-bone brisket and superb lamb chops or inside for incredible short-rib. Seafood is plentiful and found in salads as well as raw and grilled and the sushi game is strong. Desserts are excellent and you can finish your meal with a beautiful smooth gelato.
This is a great brunch for vegetarians with layer upon layer of beautifully presented and tasty vegetable offerings as well as intensely good no-meat Asian offerings. Get your veges - and seafood - cooked in front of you in the wok, or choose a vegetable curry.
This is one of the few brunches that caters well to children. There's a space for smaller kids to play basketball and football with a table tennis table and indoor colouring, as well as face-painting to keep the small bodies entertained.
This very laid-back brunch is the perfect winter brunch with a great indoor-outdoor flow, sea breezes and incredibly good service which makes all the difference.
