Easter in Dubai: The Best Places to Spend Sunday with Family and Friends
CÉ LA VI Dubai
MICHELIN-approved and set against one of Dubai's most iconic skyline views, CÉ LA VI Dubai hosts its Easter Brunch on April 5 from 12:30pm to 4pm — a set menu experience that balances signature dishes with specially crafted Easter desserts from the pastry kitchen. Groups of five or more receive one complimentary guest, and vegetarian and vegan menus are available. For those who can't make Easter Sunday, the weekday lunch — available Monday to Friday from 12pm to 5pm — is equally worth knowing about, with children up to 12 dining complimentary.

Amaya Dubai, The Dubai Mall
Positioned near the Waterfalls in The Dubai Mall with direct views of the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa, Amaya offers one of the most visually rewarding Easter settings in Downtown Dubai. The menu is versatile and unhurried — breakfast favourites sit alongside premium dishes including Wagyu Tataki, Caviar, and Beef Carpaccio. Whether the plan is a leisurely brunch, a relaxed lunch, or an evening dinner, Amaya adapts without fuss. Open daily from 10am to 1am, making it as flexible as an Easter long weekend should be.

McGettigan's Ibn Battuta Gate
Not every Easter needs to be polished. Some of the best ones are loud, a little chaotic, and thoroughly enjoyed. McGettigan's Ibn Battuta Gate delivers exactly that on Easter Sunday — a family roast paired with a quiz, entertainment for all ages, and an Easter egg hunt for younger guests. It is the kind of afternoon that fills a room and doesn't require anyone to behave particularly well. A crowd-pleaser in the best possible sense, and a reminder that Easter is as much about energy as it is about elegance.

Bull & Bear, Waldorf Astoria DIFC
The Waldorf Astoria DIFC's signature restaurant brings a warm, considered Easter to the DIFC on April 5, from 1pm to 4pm. Bull & Bear's traditional Sunday roast — a British classic, crafted with care — anchors a three-course Easter menu designed for families who want the occasion without the ceremony. Children under 8 dine complimentary. Sweeping views of the Burj Khalifa and city skyline provide the backdrop, and in the spirit of the season, guests also receive an exclusive offer on treatments at the award-winning Waldorf Astoria Spa DIFC, redeemable throughout April.

At.mosphere Lounge & Bar, Burj Khalifa
There are few places where Easter feels quite this elevated — literally. Sitting 442 metres above the city on Level 122 of the Burj Khalifa, At.mosphere offers an Easter menu that moves seamlessly from afternoon into evening, available April 4 and 5 from 12:30pm to 10:30pm. Highlights include an asparagus salad with tomato confit and parmesan, lamb shoulder confit with sweet spices and Middle Eastern fruits, and a caramel and vanilla floating island to finish. The city stretches endlessly beneath. Children dine complimentary.

Chic Nonna, DIFC
Some Easter tables, like this one, truly feel like a homecoming. Chic Nonna's La Tavola di Pasqua on Easter Sunday is a full Italian feast: generous, wholesome and rooted in the kind of tradition. Under the direction of Executive Chef Francesco Torcasio, the brunch unfolds from antipasti through homemade pasta - Lasagna della Nonna, Cannelloni Ricotta e Spinaci, to a traditional Agnello alla Griglia, finishing with Colomba Pasquale and the nostalgic sweetness of Pasticera Napoletana. Live Italian entertainment runs throughout, evoking the charm of long family lunches in sun-drenched piazzas. Free-flowing wine, Aperol Spritz, and Chic Nonna's signature Negroni complete the experience. Easter Sunday, 12pm to 4pm.

Spike Bar, Emirates Golf Club
Also at Emirates Golf Club, Spike Bar's Easter Sunday Carvery is a different kind of afternoon — slower, more settled, built for lingering. Slow-roasted cuts, golden roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables, and a dessert buffet to finish. It is unfussy and entirely intentional — a no-fuss feast that celebrates the tradition of gathering around a proper table. Available from 1pm on April 5, and exactly the kind of Easter Sunday that feels like it should.

Topgolf Dubai, Emirates Golf Club
For families who need their Easter to come with a competitive edge, Topgolf Dubai on Easter Sunday pairs a classic Sunday roast at Toad in the Hole with the option of a gameplay voucher — four adult roasts unlocking an hour on the bays. It is the kind of Easter plan that works equally well for groups who genuinely want to play and those who simply want a reason to stay longer. Comforting British favourites, a little friendly rivalry, and the open air of Emirates Golf Club.
