Yalumba Brunch Review – A Feast by the Airport

If you think “airport hotel restaurant” sounds dull, Yalumba at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre is here to prove you wrong. Just minutes from DXB, this spot has earned a reputation for hosting one of the most vibrant brunches in town — and for good reason.
From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with an atmosphere that feels equal parts laid-back and festive. The dining room buzzes with energy, and the buffet setup immediately catches your eye: stations upon stations of food, each more tempting than the last.
The spread is global — a true passport on a plate. You can wander from sizzling Asian stir-fries to perfectly spiced Indian curries, fresh seafood displays, hearty Middle Eastern grills, and crisp salads that actually taste as fresh as they look. Don’t miss the live cooking stations, where chefs whip up plates right in front of you — it adds a bit of theater to your meal.
Families love it here, and it’s easy to see why. Kids get their own little world of entertainment, which means parents can relax and enjoy their food without interruptions. The brunch is also big on desserts, and honestly, it feels like a sweet lover’s dream: rows of cakes, mousses, puddings, and delicate pastries that you’ll probably go back for more than once.
The staff? Always smiling, always helpful — whether it’s topping up your table with fresh water or guiding you toward the station you “absolutely can’t miss.”
In short, Yalumba’s brunch is more than just a meal — it’s an experience. Whether you’re flying in, flying out, or just a Dubai local looking for a lively weekend plan, this spot hits the perfect balance of variety, flavor, and fun.
Final verdict: Come hungry, leave happy — and maybe plan a nap afterwards.
