If you’re not a fan of the traditional 12pm start that most Dubai brunches demand, and prefer to sleep in on weekends, then these evening brunches are the perfect compromise.

Three options to choose from include the ‘fiery pizza’, a spicy option with tomato sauce and a selection of mixed chillies. Next there’s the ‘cacio e pepe pizza’, a pizza topped with a base layer of ice cubes to make the base wet and soggy to stick the Pecorino cheese on the top. Ending on a sweet note, enjoy the ‘flaming tiramisu pizza’ with Mascarpone cheese, Nutella chocolate, and espresso coffee powder.
