When you first move to Abu Dhabi you’ll have loads of things on your to-do list, including finding a place to live, renting a car and generally getting to grips with the layout of the city.

But you’ll also want to start having some fun too, and it won’t take you long to realise that that most people spend their Friday afternoons eating and drinking their way through one of the city’s many brunches.

Yes, the ritual of brunch is an essential part of our weekly routine and we can’t get enough of these decadent feasts.

So to help you get the hang of this rather indulgent pastime (it’s a hard life, honest), our latest quick guide outlines all the very best brunches in the city that you need to try out.

In fact they’re all either nominees or winners from the Time Out Abu Dhabi Music and Nightlife Awards 2019 or the Time Out Abu Dhabi Restaurant Awards 2018– so we can definitely vouch for them all.

Happy brunching!
