These Halloween Brunches in Dubai Got Me in the Mood for Spooky Food
I always look forward to October in Dubai for two reasons – the beginning of winter and the Halloween season. But we’re not just talking about spooky decor, scary costumes and parties here.
This is Dubai, after all, so you know that everything here is a little extra including brunch. If you’re a foodie like me and you also love Halloween, these are the different Halloween brunches around Dubai that you must try.

I’m always guilty of not knowing exactly what I’m craving for and wish I could visit three restaurants at one time. Then voila, there’s the Bubbalicious Brunch, one of the best Halloween Brunches in Dubai!
Being indecisive, I need my options and man does this brunch give me a lot of options. With three restaurants all offering a massive spread, I have everything I need in one place.
There’s Baba for my grilled meats and Middle Eastern mezze, Sui Mui for some Pan-Asian flavours and of course, Mina’s Kitchen for some eclectic dish options.
To add to that, the brunch also has a live oyster shucking station, a massive sushi station and a mountain of seafood all for you to devour until you get food coma.
So if you want to really indulge during Halloween, you shouldn’t miss the amazing spread at the Bubbalicious brunch.

Halloween festivities paired with a hearty roast spread – these are just two of the reasons the Hillhouse Brasserie has made it on my list of the best Halloween brunches in Dubai.
If your idea of Halloween includes less scare and more good fare, then this spot at the beautiful Dubai Golf Hills Club should be part of your list.
Pick your spot at the outdoor terrace that looks out to the stunning golf course and enjoy a quintessential roast brunch with all the fixins that you can think about.
And oh did I forget that your meal includes unlimited oysters and drinks too? I can guarantee that you’ll leave this Halloween brunch feeling full and not spooky.
Pro tip:
If you’re vegetarian or you don’t eat red meat, it’s best to skip this brunch since the spread here is all about meat, seafood and everything indulgent. While you can enjoy some salads, there are no vegetarian alternatives to the shared mains.

Are you wondering what it feels like to celebrate Halloween on the beach? Head to Zero Gravity’s spooky beach brunch and you won’t want to celebrate the spooky season anywhere else.
Zero Gravity is already a hit party spot because of its location on Skydive Dubai’s drop zone. But on Halloween, this hotspot turns into a spooky wonderland with people dressing up in their spookiest costumes and dancing their hearts away.
More than the good food, I love Zero Gravity’s pulsating energy that runs from brunch until late at night when the venue comes alive with international DJs blasting their hits.
Pro tip:
If you don’t want to miss out on the fun, make sure to book a ticket ahead of Halloween since Zero Gravity’s party is such a popular event in the city that people book their spot months before Halloween.
