We all know Dubai is a great stopover destination but did you know about the abundant luxury dining available throughout the city? If you are in Dubai for a day, here are some top picks for some luxury dining.

Breakfast – Gastronomy at Atlantis The Royal

Located in Atlantis The Royal, start your Dubai stopover at Gastronomy with a breakfast fit for royalty. One of the most comprehensive breakfast buffets in the world, there is a fantastic choice of worldwide cooking styles.

Picture this: daylight spilling through floor-to-ceiling windows, the energetic buzz of live cooking stations, and a smell that is an ensemble of newly warmed bread and fascinating flavours. Here, incredibly famous gourmet specialists organise a morning meal unlike any other.

Disregard your typical continental spread. Gastronomy lifts the morning meal to a work of art. Plunge into a worldwide culinary experience, enjoying an exquisite waffle sprinkled with maple syrup, international breakfast options from India to Italy, or have a taste of freshly baked bread from the Pâtisserie. Remember to taste an impeccably brewed mug of espresso roasted and brewed on-site at the coffee bar. This ensemble of flavours establishes the ideal vibe for a day of exploration.
