BackDubai’s food scene is well-known for diverse choices from pocket-friendly street eats right up to super luxury gourmet and fine dining. For those who like to start the day right, the good news is that it absolutely does justice to ‘the most important meal of the day’, AKA breakfast. In this blog, we’ll take a look at some of the city’s best breakfast spots - a hotly contended list that really is just a snapshot of what’s on offer! Honorable mentions must go to institutions such as The Farm (Al Barari), Eggspectation, and Fibber McGee’s - you can read more about them in some of our other blogs (see below).

1. Circle Cafe
Founded in 2003 by mums Mira and Rana, Circle Cafe was founded on a mutual love of proper New York bagels and is designed to feel like you’re “hanging out in a friend's living room”. Their menu has expanded over the years and so have their locations - 11 in Dubai, 3 in Abu Dhabi and 1 in Saudi - but the core philosophy remains the same. The menu is diverse, with ‘supper club’ family meals and a great range of vegan items but the main draw for a lot of customers is their all-day weekend breakfast - from 08:00 - 16:00 you can enjoy a selection of eggs, pancakes and bagels for just AED 65.
2. Bistro Des Arts
Bistro des Arts is a quintessential 1970 Parisian bistro overlooking the waters of Dubai Marina, serving a repertoire of classic “Terroir” French home-style food with a rustic French décor and a garden vibe terrace. The restaurant offers a Parisienne bistro style fare from breakfast through to late-night supper. Guests can choose from of a well-curated wine list, a raw seafood bar and freshly baked bread and pastries all served in a laidback casual style environment. Bistro des Arts is a not yet seen original Parisian Bistro, the place to go for a slice of Paris in Dubai.
3. Lowe's Dubai

4. Leen’s Casual to Gourmet
