Nothing quite beats the idea of starting the day with a good breakfast. What could be better than having variety on the table and a meal packed with flavour? A good deal, of course.
Downtown Dubai boasts an endless array of restaurants offering breakfast menus, but if you’re looking for something designed for sharing (because food always tastes better with a plus one), these are the spots to bookmark.
