2. Brunch at The Restaurant, Address Sky View, for the best view in town

This is new hotel that’s been clogging up your Insta feed… and for good reason. With unparalleled views of the Burj K, (who wants to be in it, when you can look AT it) a Friday brunch at The Restaurant is PERFECT for a special occasion, or simply a memorable Friday with live entertainment and quality food served directly to your table (and for this, we stan!).

The Restaurant serves up sharing style eats, either on the patio or indoors. And YES the view is great, but the food is equally great with a mix of small bites and bigger plates from freshly shucked Oysters and Miso Glazed Eggplant, to Smoked Beef Bone Marrow and a Chef’s special Vanilla Crème Brûlée. Delish!

When? Fridays 1pm to 4pm

How much? From AED295 (soft drinks) AED (house drinks) AED495 (sparkling)
