Ladies, your opinions please. Want to impress visiting friends with an aweomse brunch in awesome surroundings. Might just be 4 of us but still want somewhere fun with amazing food and free flow drinks. I have been to Mina Salam brunch which was fab but hear Al Qasr amazing too. Does anyone know how much each of the brunches is right now (prices seem to change all of the time!) which part is best to sit for music and fun? your vote overall would be appreciated, Thanks :-)

Thank you ladies. THey are on their honeymoon so for the 'wow I am in Dubai' factor, think may go with Al Qasr - it will be their wedding gift from us! x Ooooh I think I'd do Burj Al Arab brunch then - only a tiny bit more money but you're guaranteed the wow I'm in Dubai factor! they have a promo at the mo if go to brunch by 11 am you get free voucher to wild wadi valid for 6 months!

question ladies - is the westin bubbalicious child free? heard conflicting accounts and would just like some confirmation. thanks v much No it isnt. actually there are quite a lot of activities geared for kids (tho not sure what happens in summer coz most of those looked to be outside) as well as food counters. although i think depending on which outlet you asked to be seated in, it could be childfree. each time we've been, we booked at hunters grill and there were no kids seated there.

I think the best brunches and definitely with the wow factor you are looking for would be Al Qasr Bubbalicous at The Westin Mina a Salaam Traiteur at Park Hyatt

I'm lucky enough to have been to both and preferred Al Qasr, for the food :) We sat in MJ's but there was a lot of movement going on around us and through the other restaurants and it was lovely to go outside, as well, which I don't suppose you'd get at this time of year. I can't remember the entertainment (oops!), but there was a general feeling of bonhomie :) Looking at the Madinat Jumeirah website, there doesn't seem to be a great difference in cost, but I'd call and check, anyway: http://www.jumeirah.com/en/hotels-and-resorts/destinations/dubai/madinat-jumeirah/Exclusive-Offers1/Dining-Offers/Brunch/Al-Qasr-Brunch1/ <em>edited by simpleasabc on 06/06/2011</em>

I love Mina A Salam brunch, but for sheer WOW factor I'd recommend Al Qasr. That was my first ever Duabi Brunch...the choice was endless and they had every detail covered. From memory it;s about 495 with bubbbly (Prosecco)
