Affordable Brunch Deals in Dubai for Families

Family brunches usually offer the best value per person, especially with kids-eat-free policies. These three spots combine entertainment with genuinely low prices.

1. 365 Restaurant, Novotel Dubai Al Barsha – Sunday Family Brunch (Dhs75–175): Every Sunday, this Al Barsha venue turns into a playful family setup with live entertainment, a treasure hunt, and a musical hats game. Kids aged six to 12 pay half price, and children under six eat for free.

2. 365 Restaurant, Novotel Dubai Al Barsha – Saturday Family Brunch (Dhs145): This Saturday version swaps in a full international buffet with live grilling stations. Kids stay busy with face painting, balloon art, and a petting zoo, and they dine free until age 12.

3. Villamoura, Sheikh Zayed Road – Unlimited Breakfast Deal (AED 99): For an early, wallet-friendly start, this all-you-can-eat spread covers eggs, waffles, French toast, and fresh bread. It ranks among the cheapest bottomless morning deals in the city.

4. Al Bandar Rotana – Sunday Brunch Buffet: This five-star buffet brunch regularly shows up on Dubai deal platforms at a fraction of its usual rate. Expect a wide spread in a relaxed waterfront setting near Dubai Festival City.

Best Weekend Brunch Deals Under AED 250

If you’re after something livelier, these picks pair good food with music, views, or a beachside setting, all while staying under AED 250 per person.

5. Grand Millennium Hotel Dubai – Belgian Brunch: Now running on Saturdays, this three-course Belgian-style set menu comes with three hours of free-flowing house drinks. Expect Belgian beer, sparkling grape, and a cosy European feel without the steep price.

6. Mövenpick Hotel JLT – PizzaExpress Live BSQ Brunch (Dhs145–175): A Saturday favourite for Italian starters, a main course, and dessert. Bottomless soft drinks or house beverages, plus an optional afterparty, make this one of the best value combos for two.

7. FIVE Jumeirah Village Circle – Soul St Brunch (Dhs100–299): This street-food-inspired Saturday brunch pairs tacos and skewers with a DJ and an energetic afterparty. Ladies pay less, and the standalone afterparty ticket is a cheaper way to join later.

8. Dusit Thani Dubai – Benjarong Thai Brunch (Dhs189): The team here serves authentic Thai dishes on Saturdays with skyline views over Downtown Dubai. The soft-drinks package keeps costs down while the flavours stay far from budget.

9. Jones Social Restaurant & Bar – Saturday Rooftop Brunch: A rotating buy-one-get-one rooftop offer makes this a smart pick for pairs watching their spending. The signature dish spread and lively rooftop setting punch above the price point.

10. Vibe Restaurant, The Retreat Palm by Sofitel – Weekend Brunch with Beach Access: This deal bundles brunch with beach and pool access on Palm Jumeirah. It’s a rare case of a beach-club brunch that stays genuinely affordable.

Tips for Booking Cheap Dubai Brunches

A few small habits can shave real money off your next brunch outing. First, always compare the soft-drinks package against the house-beverages package, since the gap is often AED 50 to 100. Second, check deal platforms like Cobone before booking direct, because seasonal offers appear there first.

Weekday and early-slot bookings also tend to run cheaper than peak Saturday afternoon sittings. Finally, ask about kids’ pricing upfront, since many family brunches offer free or half-price meals for children that aren’t always advertised clearly.

For a broader look at brunch pricing across the city, Time Out Dubai’s budget brunch roundup and Gulf Buzz’s list of brunches under AED 250 are both worth a browse. And if you’re planning a full weekend around it, WhatToDoDubai has plenty of guides to round out your itinerary.
