Not everyone likes to be up early, some people work remotely, you could be jet lagged or you simply want those brekkie classics later in the day…there are so many reasons why set breakfast hours may not work for some people. That’s why there’s nothing quite as nice as being able to eat breakfast when you want to. And for that, we’re here to help!
These are some of the places where you can grab all-day breakfast in Downtown Dubai. (Psst…we’ll be updating this list regularly.)
Apricot Dubai
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, this European eatery’s all-day breakfast menu includes eggs, oats, granola and pancakes.

The menu also offers smoothies, hot and cold beverages, as well as fresh juices.
