11 Best Breakfasts in Dubai

Avo with scrambled eggies and a caramel latte, please…

Oh, I’d rather have a breakfast date than a dinner date, especially in Dubai as they know how to start their mornings right. I’ve been to a lot of breakfasts spots in the city, but there’s still so many more to see. Dubai has the advantage of being a city on the coast, which means you can enjoy both restaurants on the beach and at the top of skyscrapers.

I’ve put together a list of my favourites, enjoy!

1. Lime Tree Café.

I must have been here at least 10 times since living in Dubai. Very contemporary feel restaurant with their own homemade cakes and healthy goods. They also offer seasonal treats and gifts in their shops. Located in six locations across the city - my favourite is on Sheikh Zayed Road off Umm Suqeim.

2. Secret Garden by L’ETO.

The ultimate Instagrammable cafe with complete pink flower walls and a beautiful interior. Oh, and the coffee and treats are delicious too. Located in City Walk - an open, design-inspired neighbourhood in the heart of the city.

3. Friends Avenue Café.

In two locations - JLT and Motor City. The view in JLT is just as good as the food - delicious! A mixture of Australian, English and European favourites. Also totally Instagrammable.

4. Breeze Beach Grill.

Breakfast on the beach. Located at Club Vista Mare on the Palm Jumeirah. It feels like I’m on holiday every time I come here - even when my apartment is just 10 minutes away. From the beach, you get a full view of the Frond mansions and they have a dreamy floating swimming pool. The weekend brunches are also great!

5. At.Mosphere @ Burj Khalifa.

Fancy having breakfast at the top of the tallest building in the world? At.Mosphere is located on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa. The restaurant breakfast is served from 7am to 11am, or you can have your morning coffee in the clouds from 7am to 9am at the At.Mosphere Lounge. The view is incredible! We were lucky enough to visit on a clear day which enabled us to see for miles.

6. Guylian Belgian Chocolate Café.

One of my absolute favourite spots for brekkie! Located at The Pointe on the Palm Jumeirah and opposite the famous Atlantis hotel. The view is gorgeous and the food is delicious. Guylian are famous for their nutty, chocolate shells which they also sell in the cafe in many forms.

7. The Hamptons Café.

Located in three areas in Dubai - Jumeriah Beach Road, Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Islands. The cafes are inspired by the lifestyle and charm of The Hamptons in New York. These pictures are taken at the Jumeirah Islands branch.

8. The Farm, Al Barari.

Located around 25 minutes inland from the coast. Al Barari is a secluded community with huge trees and stunning residential buildings. The Farm is a desert oasis with flowers, palm trees with waterfalls running through the middle. Perfection is sitting amongst these surroundings while having your morning coffee.

9. Bounty Beets.

Located at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina. The restaurant boasts organic, gluten-free and vegan options. Plus the interior and seating areas are perfect for getting that all-important Instagram shot.

10. Single Fin Café @ Surf House.

The perfect place to hang out after a morning hitting the waves. Whether you want to surf, paddleboard or kayak, you can hire everything you need for these activities. The Surf House is located just down the road from the Public Beach by the Burj Al Arab.

11. Tania’s Teahouse.

Leaving the cutest little place until last. You’ll see why it has been voted the 7th most Instagrammable cafe in the world! Located on Jumeirah Beach Road just off Al Thanya Street. It’s the perfect place to catch up with your girlfriends over a cup of coffee.
