Already an art in itself, brunch with a stunning view of the Burj Al Arab is an amazing gastronomic experience! After conquering the Principality, MayaBay launched a new address in Dubai in 2022, on the Turtle Lagoon of Jumeirah Al Naseem. With unequalled expertise and artistry, Chef Shane Macneill proposes bold flavours with Thai and Japanese influences.

Each Sunday, brunch unfurls an array of gustatory promises, starting with soups and starters (three per person). Slightly tangy, Tom Yam Kung Thai soup with shrimps and chili awakens the palate, along with Cantonese tacos with roast duck, tasty toast with spicy shrimps or, for fans of raw fish, a good choice of sushi and sashimi. Another must, the wide variety of dim sums, delicate appetizers either sweet or savoury.

Main dishes then propose Asian delicacies in all their splendour, including authentic cuisine which ensured the success of the restaurant in Monaco: Thai pad and black cod from the wok! Enjoyment grows as textures blend and harmonize, a symphony of exquisite tastes enhanced by a flat-rate choice of wines. At MayaBay, each dish is a voyage for the senses, each flavour a discovery for the tastebuds.

To end on a high note, a special mention for the Pandan, a subtly sweet sponge cake with caramelized nuts, as light as a cloud with its lemongrass ice-cream. Or opt for classic ‘‘crème brûlée’’, pear tart, chocolate fondant, cheesecake…, subtly tweaked, of course, with fragrances from distant lands.
