Guy Beringer in 1896 is credited with gifting the world this exclusive type of meal, although his invention, as said by many, was birthed out of a plea to sleep till late on Sunday morning. We now ironically get up early on the weekend when there is an arrangement for this meal, and dear readers, if you are unsure of what we are talking about, then hold on tight because it is a meal of happiness, celebration, and catching up; it is brunch! A portmanteau of lunch and breakfast.
Whether this concept is popularized by the West or any other part of the world, brunch has managed to score its place in the UAE, especially in our beloved Dubai, and more trendy are evening brunches so we are here to tell you about the best restaurants in the city currently doing justice to this traditon.
Let's have a look.
