Some brunch formats in Dubai are special a\u00a0la carte menus. The only thing they have in common with the typical brunch\u00a0is that they are all-inclusive packages. So, basically, they are really good value for a wholesome meal with drinks included.<\/p>\n

Ruth\u2019s Chris steakhouse at The Address, Dubai Marina does a wonderful job of the a la carte brunch, helped by the fact it’s in such a relaxed setting.\u00a0Ruth’s is\u00a0so much more than a steak house, here’s why\u00a0you should check it out…<\/p>\n

1. Cocktails<\/h3>\n

Starting off a meal with a cocktail is always a tricky thing to do. I had the perfect one, a blueberry mojito with no added\u00a0sugar and\u00a0just the right\u00a0kick. Perfect to set the tone for the afternoon.<\/p>\n

2. Starters<\/h3>\n

Usually you might have one starter before your main course. This time we had them all.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Crab stack<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Carpaccio<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Oysters<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Onion soup (Second course before the mains)<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

3. The meat<\/h3>\n

Being a steakhouse, you would expect the meat to be good. I liked how there wasn\u2019t much fuss about clearing the plates, having the juice on the hot plate as the meat sizzled on arrival\u00a0to the table was nice. I went for the New York strip and it was delicious. We also had chosen lamp chops, that were equally sizzling and tasty.<\/p>\n

4. Atmosphere<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve eaten here in the evening previously, both with a large group of guys a on carnivore mission and with a friend. It can be suitable for group dinners or just two people, but as\u00a0an evening place. I was curious how this would work during the day.<\/p>\n

We were seated\u00a0by a family, which is strange at a brunch, however, by the end of the afternoon a few pleasantries with the said table made the occasion more memorable.<\/p>\n

The staff were exceptionally attentive, and this is a brilliant\u00a0feature of this restaurant. They make you feel so important.<\/p>\n

5. Cheesecake<\/h3>\n

\u00a0It\u00a0can come in many shapes and sizes. This one was in a biscuit tart topped with cream and it was exceptional…<\/p>\n
