Japanese Brunches in Dubai – 2024 Edition

Do you enjoy japanese cuisine, like us? Start off with some edamame as you catch up with friends over a crisp pint of Asahi beer. Try some finely seared beef tataki, and if you’re lucky – some venues do serve takoyaki as well (not many, though!). Well well – here’s a little round-up of japanese brunches in dubai. Some, do allow families, whereas others are strictly adults-only – and we are not complaining 🙂

Have you been to any of these Japanese Brunches? Where else should we try? Let us know!
