Dubai, the world capital of the exceptional brunch, is constantly battling to enhance the refinement and sheer pleasure of the weekend get-together with family and friends, while enjoying a fantastic five-star meal.
And no one does this better than the good folk at the Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah, where a massive team effort results in the Imagination Brunch at their main restaurant, Mowsem.
It is no easy feat, as a myriad of details need to come together seamlessly, most of them behind-the-scenes, to offer their dignified guests a magical experience – and the Imagination Brunch is just that: pure magic!
It starts with the venue, and a prime location on The Palm Jumeirah – and within the exquisite Hilton beachfront terrace…
… leading into shaded outdoor seating, by the live grilling stations…
… and into the spacious dining halls, where the main buffets are – and I do mean ‘buffets’ plural, because each section of Imagination Brunch is basically the equivalent of a regular entire buffet!
But I have actually started back-to-front!
The entrance from the gorgeous lobby is where the Imagination Brunch fairytale begins…
… where you and yours will be greeted by the entertainment troupe!
And so the imaginary journey begins – and the talent of the actors is as outstanding as their genuine smiles: the plays, games, songs, activities, and dances planned ahead were so good that not only did the kids become part of the adventure, but even parents couldn’t help but joining in fully!
Indeed, if you are a family with children, the Imagination Brunch is a must-visit, even if you have to drive from Abu Dhabi or the UAE west coast.
As for the adults,
your job is to unwind after a week’s busy work, and enjoy!
A selection of cocktails, with a Spritz cart outside, and a full-service bar inside, both fresh juices and house beverages are free-flowing.
The dishes were creative and naturally of Hilton high-standards, from Korean Beef Ribs (melt-in-your-mouth!) to a marvelous selection of cheeses!
And the desserts were simply phenomenal, and testament to the backing of the entire Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah food & bev teams, who are uniquely able to produce such variety of delicious morsels, in such quantities, that is just beyond the capacity of most other Dubai restaurants.
Of equal excellence, the service – the Hilton training and professionalism is second to none, and lead-by-example by senior staff seemed to be the modus operandi, as exemplified by young Ms Poonyawee, Assistant Restaurant Manager, who was everywhere with a ready smile and a few pleasant words!
Overall, for an unforgettable weekend brunch in Dubai, at Mowsem, Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah, where creativity combined with perfect execution; if you gather there with a few friends and families, you will be taken on a gourmet journey among fun activities and an exceptional buffet – at the Imagination Brunch.
