If the views of The Palm and the luxury yachts glistening in the Marina are not enough to entice you up to the 52nd floor of The Harbour Hotel for Friday brunch, then the amazing food definitely should be.

From the generously-stacked salad bar to the succulent carvery and fresh seafood display, every foodie fantasy is pandered to. There’s even a dedicated brekkie station, where you can tuck into continental-style cold cuts, or opt for a full-on English fry-up!

Grab a seat by the vast windows and gawp at the canoeists, sun-worshippers and windsurfers scattered along the coastline below, as you sip on unlimited pink champers, in the chic dining area.

But don’t expect a stuffy atmosphere to go with the polished silverware and pristine white table cloths. From the resident mixologist serving decadent made-to-order martini cocktails to the walk-in door policy in the kitchen – where you can chat with the chefs and even make your own dessert (you won’t be able to resist spooning on that extra scoop of ice-cream!) – the emphasis is on laid-back fun.

For the lazy, an a la carte service delivers highlights from The Observatory’s fine dining menu – including tantalising steak – direct to your table. Finish with a gourmet cheeseboard, and you’ve got the recipe for the perfect brunch.

Brunch In The Sky, Dhs400, including unlimited licensed beverages and selected cocktails, 12pm – 4pm.
