The best breakfast views in Dubai to dine for
Weekends in Dubai are made for slow mornings, good food and inspiring art. Before wandering through the city’s galleries—from Alserkal Avenue to Jameel Arts Centre and DIFC—start your day with a breakfast that’s as uplifting as the exhibitions ahead. Here are beautifully curated spots serving great dishes, calming atmospheres and the perfect pre-gallery mood.
Perfect spots to fuel up before exploring the art galleries
Weekends in Dubai are made for wandering through art galleries and, ideally, through a great breakfast menu before any of that begins. With new exhibitions popping up across the city, from warehouse spaces in Alserkal Avenue to sleek institutional halls in Jameel Arts Centre and dynamic shows in DIFC, there is plenty of art to take in.
If you are feeling that slow Saturday mood, here is some breakfast fuel inspiration to get you started...
The Beam by Chef Nick Alvis
Every Saturday, Chef Nick Alvis throws a twist on your favourite breakfast dishes. The Elevenses menu balances light, bright dishes such as the Granola Trio with elevated comfort picks including truffled scrambled eggs on sourdough. Heartier appetites will find joy in The Full Beam, while the refined Beam Benedict adds a luxurious twist to the classics.
This is the perfect spot for easing into the weekend. You can unwind in the garden under Dubai’s soft winter sun or settle indoors where the atmosphere feels calm but lively.
