Sunday brunch in Dubai can mean a two-hour Italian sharing menu, a family buffet with a kids’ zone, or a roast with drinks priced separately. This guide compares ten Sunday options by what actually changes the day: food format, timing, drink spend, child rules and booking certainty. A headline price only helps when you know what it buys.
Last checked: 28 September 2026. Prices, schedules and availability can change; confirm the exact date and final total with the venue.

Ten Sunday plans, ten different meals
COYA — Azúcar Sunday
For a set Latin American lunch with a known food price · Restaurant Village, Four Seasons Resort, Jumeirah 2 · Sunday, 1–3:30pm
The relaxed Latin setting suits a polished sit-down Sunday lunch, with a clear starter-and-main format instead of a buffet lap. Choose the food menu, then decide whether the optional drinks package belongs on the bill.
Menu and format: Choose an aperitivo, starter and main; the main comes with COYA fries and seasonal vegetables. Choices include beef empanadas, sea-bass ceviche, grilled Angus flank and prawns-and-squid rigatoni. This is a set meal, not a free-flow buffet. The optional AED150-per-guest drinks package is separate from the AED195 food price.
Price and booking terms: AED195 per person for the food menu. An optional Azúcar drinks package is AED150 per guest; the linked menu names Minuty Prestige and sangria selections. The menu says listed prices include 10% service and 5% VAT but remain subject to a 7% municipality fee. The event page says two desserts are shared; the linked PDF lists one dessert choice, so confirm the current serving.

Trattoria — La Dolce Vita
For an unhurried Italian meal with two drink tiers · Madinat Jumeirah · Sunday, noon–6pm; two-hour packages
This one gives you a useful choice of pace: book a two-hour table anywhere in the noon-to-6pm window, then decide whether soft drinks at AED195 or house beverages at AED270 suit the group. It is the clearest fit for a meal that can start later than the standard 1pm crowd. Ask which dishes sit inside the current three courses and whether fees change the total.
Menu and format: A three-course Italian brunch served in two-hour slots. The current offer makes the soft-versus-house drinks choice explicit; published Sunday guide coverage describes pizza, antipasti, pasta and desserts, but the operator offer is the price authority.
Price and booking terms: AED195 per person with soft drinks; AED270 with house beverages. Three-course menu. The booking page does not make all inclusions and mandatory fees clear; confirm the checkout total.

Yalumba — Sunday Family Brunch
For a family buffet with three clearly priced drink tiers · Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, Garhoud · Sunday, 1–4pm (brunch-specific operator listing)
Yalumba is the straightforward family-buffet choice when the adults want a proper drink-tier comparison and the children need something to do between courses. The AED225 soft-drink tier keeps the spend predictable; the two higher tiers add selected or premium beverages. Children aged 6–12 have a published AED75 rate. The hotel does not list an under-six rule or say which fees are included, so check those two details before choosing a package.
Menu and format: Family-friendly buffet with children’s activities; choose the drink tier that suits the table rather than paying for a premium package by default. The operator’s brunch-specific hours are 1–4pm, although the general dining-hours panel shows a different lunch window.
Price and booking terms: AED225 per person with soft drinks; AED295 per person with selected sparkling, wine and spirits; AED365 per person with premium beverages. Children aged 6–12 are AED75; no under-six rate is published. The operator page does not state whether service, municipality fee or VAT are included; confirm the final bill.

Le Majlis — Family Brunch
For an early start and a published under-10s rule · Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai · Sunday, 10am–2pm; three-hour seating
If your Sunday starts before the lunch rush, Le Majlis opens brunch at 10am and publishes a useful under-10s rule. The menu spans breakfast and bakery items, and the kitchen sends two dishes per guest at a time, while supplies last. One detail is still hazy: the AED150 listing does not clearly say whether coffee and tea are included, so confirm that before comparing it with beverage-inclusive packages.
Menu and format: The offer menu has breakfast and bakery items, coffee and tea, plus a children’s section. It is an early, paced family meal rather than a free-flow hotel buffet.
Price and booking terms: AED150 per person; children under 10 dine free. The offer does not clearly say whether AED150 includes all listed drinks, so check before booking. Dine-in only; two dishes per guest are served at a time, while supplies last.

The World Eatery — Family Fiesta
For a buffet built around children’s entertainment · Sofitel Dubai The Palm, East Crescent, Palm Jumeirah · Sunday, from 12:30pm; restaurant hours run to 5pm; Family Fiesta returns 4 October 2026
The reason to bring younger diners here is clear: adults get an international buffet while children have their own zone with balloon art, magic and crafts. The dedicated family set-up makes this the strongest pick for a group bringing children who enjoy activities alongside lunch.
Menu and format: International buffet drawing on European, Latin American and Asian dishes, with a kids’ zone, balloon art, magic and crafts.
Price and booking terms: Operator page lists AED350 non-alcoholic and AED450 house beverages; ages 6–12 AED120; under six free. The page does not label these amounts per person, so confirm the billing basis. The 2-for-1 non-alcoholic voucher costs AED350 for two, includes free-flowing non-alcoholic beverages and is valid for six months from purchase. Advance booking is required and subject to availability; the original voucher must be presented, its full value used in one visit, and public holidays, Easter Brunch, Christmas and New Year’s Eve are excluded. It cannot be combined with other promotions.

Alizée — The Banyan Brunch Club
For a long, premium sharing brunch with optional water access · Banyan Tree Dubai, Bluewaters Island · Sunday, 1–4pm
Alizée suits a group that wants the meal to linger: the three-hour sharing brunch adds a kids’ corner and live entertainment, and the operator describes seafood and filet de boeuf served from pass-around trolleys. Choose among three beverage tiers. If you want the pool or beach as well, the AED150 access add-on is separate; the page does not promise a reserved lounger or dining credit. The hotel publishes a half-price rule for ages 5–11, but its booking page has also shown a fixed AED175 child ticket. Call for the price by age before setting a family budget.
Menu and format: Sharing menu, children’s mini-brunch/kids’ corner and live entertainment; the operator describes food served from pass-around trolleys.
Price and booking terms: AED495 per person soft; AED595 per person house; AED795 per person premium. Pool and beach access is a separate AED150 per person add-on; the hotel does not say this guarantees a sunbed or F&B credit. The hotel says children aged 5–11 receive 50% off and children aged four and under dine free. SevenRooms has shown a fixed AED175 child product for ages 5–12; because the ticket price conflicts with the hotel rule, confirm the amount for the child’s exact age.

Alici — Beautiful Brunch
For a seafood-focused à la carte brunch · Bluewaters Island · Saturday and Sunday, 1–4pm
Alici changes the usual buffet rhythm: this is a seafood-led, curated à la carte progression through crudo, a main and dessert, with Italian sparkling in the higher package. The AED395/495/595 tiers are before VAT and municipality fees, so the menu price is not the amount to budget as the final bill. It is the better fit for a table that values ordering from a composed menu over grazing at stations.
Menu and format: Curated à la carte crudo, main course and dessert with Italian sparkling. This is not an unlimited buffet; check the current menu for the available choices.
Price and booking terms: AED395 per person soft; AED495 per person house; AED595 per person premium sparkling. Operator page says prices exclude VAT and municipality fees; ask for the final total. Child rate is not clear on the current operator event page.

The Nine — British Sunday Roast
For roast dinner pricing without a mandatory drink tier · Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk, Umm Hurair Road · Sunday, 12:30–4pm
Come for the roast, not an all-inclusive drinks marathon. Mains run from AED95 for the vegetarian option to AED155 for the mixed roast, and five house beverages are an optional AED199 per person. The roast can work out lower for someone choosing a lower-priced main and skipping the drinks package; adding it can bring the adult total to AED294–354. Child portions and prices are unusually clear, and the listed amounts already include the main fees.
Menu and format: A British roast centred on a choice of mains, from vegetarian roast to mixed roast. Drinks are an optional separate add-on, so there is no single fixed “brunch package” total.
Price and booking terms: Roast mains are priced AED95–155 per main; optional five-house-beverage package AED199 per person. Ages 6–12 pay half the adult price and receive half portions; under-fives eat free. Listed prices include VAT, municipality fee and service charge.

The Beam — Sunday Brunch
For a choice-led bistro meal with an optional Wagyu upgrade · Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa, Dubai Marina · Sunday, 1–4pm
The Beam gives the table an actual main-course decision: Wagyu sirloin, local sea bass or a vegetarian mushroom option, with a whole sirloin carved tableside as an optional AED190 upgrade for two. It suits a group that would rather settle in for a served meal than make repeated buffet trips. The adult package prices are listed without a charging unit, so confirm the bill basis before comparing totals.
Menu and format: Starters are followed by a choice of Wagyu sirloin, local sea bass or vegetarian mushroom. Acoustic performances accompany the meal. This is a choice-led family-style menu, not an unlimited buffet.
Price and booking terms: The operator lists AED295 soft, AED395 house drinks and pitcher, and AED495 premium sparkling, but does not state whether these adult prices are per person. Its current specials page lists AED125 for ages 5–12; children under five dine free. An older localized Marriott listing shows AED145 for children, so confirm the current child rate when booking. Tableside whole Wagyu sirloin is an extra AED190 per two guests.

Mei — Family Sunday Experience
For a family menu with a child rate listed; check age eligibility first · Jumeirah Mina Al Salam, Madinat Jumeirah · Sundays; the current booking listing shows family seating from noon to 7pm, but individual experience slots and the three-hour table duration do not align clearly. Confirm the actual sitting before booking.
Mei offers a separate family-menu listing for adults who want a seated restaurant meal rather than a hotel buffet. The page shows a child price, but the age rule does not make clear whether a child can use it; do not treat it as a confirmed family option until the venue confirms eligibility. The special is distinct from Mei’s general Sunday brunch, listed from AED425.
Menu and format: A dedicated family experience distinct from Mei’s general Sunday brunch, which the venue’s SevenRooms offers page also advertises from AED425. The linked menu was not accessible during this check, so the specific dish selection is not described here.
Price and booking terms: The Family Sunday Experience listing gives AED175 for food, AED275 for food and wine, AED100 wine-only, and AED95 for children aged 6–12; it does not label the adult prices per person. It also states a minimum age of 7+, without clarifying how that applies to the child ticket.

How to choose your Sunday brunch
For the lowest bill, compare food-only menus with drinks ordered à la carte, not with a soft-drinks tier. For a long family afternoon, check the age band and the activity or seating arrangement as carefully as the buffet. If you prefer a plated meal, COYA, Alici and The Beam publish a more defined progression than a free-flow spread. The Nine is a roast with drinks as an add-on, so the total depends on what each person orders.
Sunday is a broad label: some offers run for only two hours, others stretch across most of the afternoon, and seasonal hotel brunches may pause. Use the operator link for the exact date, fees, child eligibility and final checkout total.
Frequently asked questions
Which Sunday brunch has the lowest published adult price?
Yalumba lists AED225 per person with soft drinks, before any fees the operator has not clarified. That is lower than the other listed adult tiers, but it is not a like-for-like comparison with food-only menus or packages that include different drinks.
Which options publish child prices?
Yalumba lists AED75 for ages 6–12; The World Eatery lists AED120 for ages 6–12 with under-sixes free; The Beam’s current operator page lists AED125 for ages 5–12 with under-fives free, while an older localized Marriott page shows AED145; confirm the current amount. The Nine and Mei also publish child terms, and Le Majlis says under-10s dine free. Alizée’s hotel and booking pages disagree, so confirm that rate by age before booking.
Are these all buffet brunches?
No. COYA, Alici and The Beam describe structured or choice-led menus; the Sunday roast at The Nine is priced by main, and Yalumba and The World Eatery are buffet-style options. Check each operator’s current format before booking.
When can I book the Family Fiesta at The World Eatery?
The hotel says it returns on 4 October 2026. The AED350 voucher covers two non-alcoholic brunches, is valid for six months from purchase, and requires advance booking subject to availability. Present the original voucher and use its full value in one visit; public holidays, Easter Brunch, Christmas and New Year’s Eve are excluded, and it cannot be combined with another promotion. Check table and voucher availability for your date.
Prices and schedules were checked on 28 September 2026 and may change. Confirm the exact date, child eligibility, fee basis and final total directly with the venue.
