YALUMBA
Where: Le Méridien Dubai, Garhoud
Offer: Dhs499 including bubbly
Timings: Friday 12:30pm to 3:30pm
The Brunch: International food stations welcome you along with a party atmosphere. With a rep as as one of the liveliest brunches in Dubai, the focus is more on the three different types of bubbles than the food. Although there is a buffet and a’ la Carte dishes on offer, we say try the full yummy English breakfast.
What to wear: Strap on your dancing shoes and gear up for a very long and fun-filled day.
