Brunch returns to COYA Dubai on June 12 promising the same Latin American flavours we all know and love. Although there will be no usual buffet due to current government rules, appetizers, main plates, side dishes and a dessert platter will be served directly to your table. The brunch runs from 12.30pm to 4pm and prices range from Dhs390 for a standard non-alcoholic package, to Dhs490 for the house package and Dhs59o for the exclusive premium package, which now includes Perrier-Jouét Grand Brut and Pisco Sour.

This Saturday, June 13 marks World Gin Day and there are a number of venues across the city celebrating one of our favourite summer drinks. The London Project will be offering 50 per cent off drinks all day, but you must order a main course as per Dubai regulations. With various gin mixes on offer, we suggest trying Clockwork which is garnished with zesty orange.

On pastime that we will happily borrow from the Italians is aperitivo.
