Best Dubai Brunches with Live Entertainment

A brunch can advertise a “show” and still give your table only a speaker and a DJ. This shortlist is narrower: each offer names live music, a singer or a band as part of the brunch. The programme matters, but so does the seat. None of these pages promises that every table can see the performer or publishes a full set schedule, so ask about both before you reserve.

For a singer and guitar with an Italian menu: Primi Lounge

Primi Lounge names a live singer and guitar for its Saturday brunch. The operator lists the sitting from 1pm to 4pm and packages from AED250. Its linked brunch menu is more specific: a starter, main and dessert, with a soft package at AED250 and a house package at AED365. The menu does not label those prices per person, so confirm the billing unit and whether both menu tiers are available for your date. It also does not say whether a DJ plays alongside the singer.

The food follows a distinctly Italian line—burrata bruschetta, chilli prawns, beef tartare, sea bass and truffle pizza, followed by tiramisu or apple. The lounge describes its terrace as a more private upstairs spot, but does not say where the singer performs or whether the terrace has a view. Ask for a table close enough to enjoy the set without assuming the whole room has the same sightline.

For a guitar duo beside share plates: Sobremesa

At Sobremesa, the live act is a singer-and-guitarist duo, and the food is designed to travel around the table: tableside guacamole, ceviche and nachos, then tacos, quesadillas and grilled carne asada, with tres leches, churros and flan to finish. Saturday brunch runs 1pm–4pm at Souk Al Bahar. The operator explicitly prices the tiers per person: AED275 soft, AED350 house and AED395 premium.

For groups of six or more, Sobremesa requires a AED300 prepayment to secure the reservation; without it, the booking is not guaranteed. The offer page presents the duo as part of the afternoon’s soundtrack but gives no set times, exact performance length or stage layout. If your group wants to watch as well as listen, ask which tables face the musicians and whether the duo performs throughout the three-hour window.

For the band-and-singer Saturday: Mimi Kakushi

Mimi Kakushi separates the weekend programme by day. Saturday brunch from noon to 4pm features a live band and singer accompanied by a DJ; Sunday is a DJ-only sitting, so it does not fit this guide’s live-act brief. The Saturday booking card lists AED450 non-alcoholic, AED599 house and AED765 Champagne, but does not state the price unit. It describes a three-hour package within the four-hour brunch window, so check when the package clock starts. The food draws on contemporary Japanese favourites in a 1920s Osaka-inspired setting.

The page does not identify the musicians, say when the live sets happen, or explain which seating zones see the band. Book Saturday specifically, then ask what the AED450 package includes and whether the band is visible from your table; do not assume that a four-hour brunch means four hours of live performance.

For a Mediterranean singalong: Jou Jou Brasserie

Four Seasons describes Jou Jou’s Saturday brunch as a buffet with pass-around dishes, live carving stations and a dessert station. The live entertainment is a singer-and-guitar duo, which gives this buffet a specific musical identity beyond background music. Service runs 1pm–4pm. The published adult tiers are AED485 per person with non-alcoholic drinks, AED715 with house beverages and AED850 with Champagne.

The resort does not publish the duo’s set times or which tables have the best view. Four Seasons’ 1 September 2026 press release lists AED240 per child aged 3–11; its current restaurant page says ages 3–12, so confirm the child age band when booking. Ask whether the performance is near the main dining room or a particular seating area if seeing the musicians matters.

For a Sunday band by the water: The Banyan Brunch Club

The Banyan Brunch Club at Alizée pairs a French Riviera-inspired sharing menu and dessert buffet with live band entertainment every Sunday from 1pm to 4pm. The listed packages are AED495 soft, AED595 house and AED795 premium per person, and there is a kids’ corner. Child terms conflict across venue pages: SevenRooms lists AED175 for ages 5–12 and free dining at four and under, while Banyan Tree’s offer page describes 50% off for ages 5–11 and free dining at four and under. Confirm the current rate before booking with children.

This brunch takes place in Alizée’s pool-and-beach area, but water access is not included in the package price shown: the listing offers discounted pool and beach access separately for AED150 per person. No band schedule or table sightline is published. Ask whether you can reserve a seat facing the music, and add the access charge only if your group plans to use the pool or beach.

For a buffet and live band: Fork & Cork at Crescendo

Crescendo’s Saturday brunch combines an international buffet and live cooking stations with children’s activities and live band performances. Service is 1pm–4pm. The soft package is AED449 per person; house drinks add AED100 and Champagne adds AED300. Children aged 6–12 are AED150, and children under six are AED50. Anantara says the listed prices include all taxes.

The live band and the children’s programme are separate parts of the offer, so families can plan around both. The operator does not publish the band’s set times or identify which tables face the performers. Ask about those details when booking, especially if you want a view rather than background music.

Before you reserve

• Tell the restaurant that seeing the performer matters; “live music included” does not guarantee a view from every table.

• Ask when the live sets happen and whether they continue for the whole brunch. Only the brunch hours are published for most offers.

• Confirm the package unit where the page does not say “per person”—notably Primi Lounge and Mimi Kakushi—and ask when Mimi’s three-hour package window begins.

• At Alizée, brunch and discounted pool/beach access are separate costs; confirm the current child rate because venue pages differ.

• Choose Saturday at Mimi Kakushi if you want a band and singer; its Sunday offer is DJ-only.
