There’s plenty to Instagram because the unlimited international buffet has live cooking stations, including carvery and seafood, as well as sushi and street food options. That takes care of the “eat” part. Additionally, there is music from the resident DJ and games (Jenga, anyone?) that tick the “play” and “laugh” components of the brunch.

Want to eat, play, laugh – or do all three? It’s all happening on Fridays at the Marriott Downtown from 12.30pm to 4pm. There are various brunch packages available. Choose from the Eat package with Dhs275 for food and soft drinks or the Laugh package for Dhs395 for house beverages and mixed drinks. The Play package is Dhs425 for Italian bubbly while the Play Longer package has two hours of unlimited selected beverages and continues at Velocity Sports Bar and Lounge. Kids aged six to 12 are Dhs110 while those under six go free. That’s your Friday sorted.
