If you ask someone who has been here long enough what are the different things you can do in this city, chances are ‘try a brunch in Dubai’ will be one of their recommendations. While there are hundreds of places to choose from, here’s a restaurant that’s doing it slightly different and we are not complaining. So remember, if you’re looking for a brunch in Downtown Dubai, here are five reasons why you should book your spot at Jun’s:
1. It’s Jun’s
This modern dining spot is on the MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants list (for 2023 and 2024), on the Gault&Millau guide with one toque, as well as on the Michelin Guide 2023. Need more reasons? Read on.
2. It’s a two-day affair
Unlike most brunches that take place on either a Saturday or Sunday, Jun’s Weekend Rituals (that’s what they call their brunch) is available every Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 4pm and is perfect for the whole family. Fancy taking your pet along? They have an outdoor space for that too.
3. It isn’t a buffet brunch
While the idea of unlimited food sounds good, c’mon we know that isn’t always good. You end up overeating or wasting food. Here, there’s none of that because you can choose your dishes.
There are three brunch menus: The à la carte one, where prices begin from AED 50, and the vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus that have sharing-style dishes, plus a main dish, sides and a dessert of the chef’s choice.
4. You have many options
They have the classics you’d hope for such as eggs benedict and egg avo toast together with more unique offerings like beef naan wrap and jalapeno cheddar biscuits with hot honey butter. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, they have chocolate pancakes and strawberry cheesecake French toast. Did we mention that vegans and those who want gluten-free options are covered too?
If you’re looking for something more filling, opt for the the vegetarian or non-vegetarian menu as that offers a lot more. View the different brunch menus here.
5. They have beverage packages
What’s a brunch without bevvies, right? The beverage packages for the à la carte brunch menu are available for three hours and are priced at AED 275 for house beverages, AED 350 for bubbles and AED 500 for premium. If you’re not after a boozy brunch, they also offer a soft drinks package for AED 100.
The vegetarian brunch packages are priced from AED 395 and the non-vegetarian brunch packages are priced from AED 425. View the packages here.
With good cooking, chic surroundings and impeccable service, you’re in for a good time!
