FOR many regulars around Media City the Icon Bar is a mainstay of after-work socials and the occasional informal meeting. Now, with the hottest months of the year upon us - as well as a certain international football tournament - this enduring Dubai gem is seeking to attract weekend diners with its Iconic Summer Brunch.

HIGH above the fiscal fervour of Dubai International Finance Centre city slickers have been learning to let their high-rolling hair down in style at Bull & Bear. Now the internationally renowned F&B concept has brought the energy of the New York Stock Exchange floor to Saturdays via its stylish new brunch.  Never mind Nvidia shares vying with Apple in the Nasdaq or pontificating over your portfolio, this is a trade you will want to make...with dividends guaranteed.
FOR many Dubai residents it is Brunchology that put the stylish Yalumba restaurant on their radar. That, in turn, has alerted many down the years to the charms and numerous dining options available at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, the hotel that houses both the outlet and its famous Saturday fixture.  We sampled both Yalumba’s ‘Bolli’ brunch and the broader resort over a weekend and discovered something rather special…

So how do you stage one that stands out from the crowd? Belcanto has the answer with a sophisticated weekend fixture that is so good they host it twice.  THE Italians have always done things differently…

As the first “coastal Indian region fusion resto-lounge”, The Permit Lounge is looking to have done enough and more to make that mark.  MustDoDubai attended the busy official launch ahead of you firming up your weekend plans…
AS far as classic celebrated British symbols go the QE2 is up there with Marmite, scones and dodgy weather. The celebrated ship is now enjoying a happy retirement, reinvented as a luxury hotel and permanently moored in Dubai. We stayed the night...  Wealthy American author Beatrice Muller enjoyed cruises aboard the QE2 with her husband so much that she dramatically altered the course of her twilight years.
On becoming a widow, she sold their homes and belongings and took up permanent residence on the prestigious ship, sailing the world’s oceans until the pride of the Cunard Line was decommissioned nine years later. |
