Friday brunch at Bubbalicious — Westin Mina Seyahi
Dubai's longest-running Friday brunch — twelve live cooking stations, an outdoor garden, live entertainment and unlimited bubbles, on a private beach.
Friday brunch in Dubai isn't a meal — it's a social institution. Of the city's hundred-plus options, Bubbalicious at the Westin Mina Seyahi has held the top spot for over a decade. It's served outdoors across four restaurants and a private garden, and the format is closer to a festival than a buffet.
The stations
Bubbalicious Garden — grills, salads, sushi bar, dessert islands and a chocolate fountain.
Hunters Room & Grill — premium meats including dry-aged ribeye, wagyu sliders and oysters.
Blue Orange — Mediterranean small plates, fresh-shucked seafood.
Spice Emporium — Indian and Pan-Asian, including a live tandoor.
Senyar — Levantine mezze, manakish and shawarma.
Packages
Three tiers, all unlimited for the full 4 hours: soft (around AED 495), house bubbles (AED 695), premium with champagne (AED 895). Children 6-12 are roughly half the soft price; under-6 free. Prices change seasonally — always confirm at booking.
Entertainment & atmosphere
A live band rotates between stations. There's a dedicated kids' zone with face-painting and a supervised play area, which makes Bubbalicious one of the few high-end brunches that genuinely works for families. From around 14:30 the music gets louder and the crowd gets younger — by 16:00 it transitions into a daytime party.
Booking
Reservations open 30 days in advance; the resort sells out 7-10 days ahead for peak winter weekends. Tables of 8+ may be asked to pre-pay. The hotel has its own beach club, so it's possible to stay on after brunch with a pay-and-play day-pass to the loungers.
