Friday Brunch in Dubai 2026: The Best Friday Night Brunches & Offers

What is the best Friday brunch in Dubai?

Since the UAE weekend moved to Saturday and Sunday, Dubai’s Friday brunch has become mostly an evening event, starting from about 6pm after the half-working day. Top 5-star options include Windows Bar & Lounge at voco Dubai from AED 149 and Malibu Sky Lounge at Paramount Midtown from AED 350, both discounted for SupperClub members.

Explains the shift and names two verified venues with prices. Prices from SupperClub’s live offer pages, October 2026.

Why Friday brunch moved to the evening

For years, Friday was Dubai’s big brunch day because it started the weekend. In 2022 the UAE moved its working week to Monday to Friday, with Friday a half day for government and many private employers. The daytime brunch crowd moved to Saturday, and Friday turned into an after-work occasion.

That means two things for anyone searching for a Friday brunch now. First, most Friday brunches start in the evening, usually between 6pm and 8pm. Second, if you want the classic long lunch with a buffet and a pool, look at Saturday. We’ve listed the best of both below.

The best Friday brunches in Dubai

Windows Bar & Lounge, Voco Dubai

On the upper floors of Voco Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Road, Windows runs its Friday brunch from 6pm to 10pm, with city views and an international menu. It’s one of the better-value five-star Friday brunches in the city.

Prices from SupperClub’s Windows Bar & Lounge offer page, checked October 2026. Children under five are free. Members get 30% off for everyone in the booking.

Malibu Sky Lounge, Paramount Hotel Midtown

A later, livelier option. Malibu Sky Lounge’s Friday night brunch starts at 8pm and is served as a three-course menu, at the Paramount Hotel Midtown in Business Bay.

Prices from SupperClub’s Malibu Sky Lounge offer page, checked October 2026. Members get 20% off for everyone in the booking.

Choosing between them

Windows is the relaxed, good-value option: an earlier start, a lower price, and children welcome at a set rate. Malibu Sky Lounge is a night out: plated courses, a later start, and a higher spend. Both apply the discount to the whole table, which suits groups.

Tips for booking a Friday brunch

• Check the start time. “Friday brunch” in 2026 usually means 6pm or 8pm, not noon.
• Book by Thursday in peak season, from October to April.
• Plan your journey home if you choose a drinks package. Taxis and ride-hailing are easy to find at every venue here.
• Bring the group. Percentage-off offers like these apply to everyone in the booking, so a table of five gets the same discount as a table of two.
• Dress smart casual. Rooftop and lounge venues may enforce a stricter code in the evening.
