Perched on the 52nd floor of Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel & Suites, this modern steakhouse now plays host to a Saturday affair that combines a four-course brunch with skyline vistas and a three-piece band that's sure to elevate your weekend mood.
Running every Saturday from 1pm to 4.30pm, you'll start with warm bread and moreish accompaniments, followed by a generous raw selection that includes oysters, prawn cocktail, scallop carpaccio, tuna tartare and a delicately prepared Angus beef carpaccio.

Not in a rush? Perfect – this brunch was designed for lingering (and enjoying the air conditioned indoors).
Mains offer a little something for everyone: USDA tenderloin, cedar wood roasted salmon, gnocchi, or baby chicken, all flanked by hearty sides like homemade fries with béarnaise and grilled vegetables.
And if you've got room (make sure you do), the dessert trolley is worth making space for, with New York cheesecake, chocolate mousse, pecan tart and a few more sweet favourites in the mix.

A stunning new waterfront Italian restaurant has opened in Barangaroo
Barangaroo has welcomed a brand-new Italian restaurant to hit up for your next work lunch – or for a relaxed dinner. Called Gina, the 170-seat indoor-outdoor restaurant – inspired by Italy's waterfront trattorias – is by the same team behind Sydney's Izgara and Malika Bakehouse. Come for house-made pastas, a spacious terrace and fun Italian cocktails created by celebrated bartender Grant Collins of Zephyr and Gin Lane. Sunset Spritz at Gina? We're there. The kitchen is led by group executive chef Michael Chang (ex-head chef at Maydanoz), joined by Sicilian-born head chef Giuseppe Pappalardo. Fresh pasta is a focus here, with the menu featuring five shapes each day – from bucatini to calamarata, casarecce, pappardelle and caramelle – paired with classic Italian flavours. Our pick is the pappardelle with Moreton Bay bug, cherry tomatoes and chilli oil. Cold cuts, including LP's mortadella, are sliced to order at the bar – perfect for aperitivo hour. There are also a trio of steaks on the menu, starting from just $35 for 250g of Angus beef rump cap, served with a house-made mustard. Other opening menu highlights include scallop crudo with blood orange and bagna cauda; calamari with soppressata and XO; sardine fritte with smoked salt and cod roe dip; and beef tongue with salsa verde. Don't want to choose? The $65 set menu should do the trick. Drinks-wise, the holiday-coded Italo Punch features spiced rum with apricot, passion fruit, pineapple and barrel-aged bitters, while the bright, citrusy Sgroppino sees vodka paired with house-made lemon sorbet, fresh lemon and prosecco for fizz. Or head straight to the 200-strong wine list, which features drops from Tuscany to Piedmont and Umbria. Find out more here. Address: Shop 11/33 Barangaroo Ave, Barangaroo NSW 2000 These are the best Italian restaurants in Sydney right now.

Edinburgh Fringe young magician shares inspirational story of how magic saved his life, in new book
'Naughty or Neurodiverse: An Aspie's Road To Magic' follows Angus Baskerville's journey from misunderstood child to professional magician, thanks to a new passion he discovered while holidaying with family as a teenager. Bullied, excluded, expelled from three schools, Angus grew up feeling like he didn't belong. Diagnosed with Asperger's and ADHD at 15, he finally had a name for the chaos he had always felt. Now aged 29, he is enjoying huge national success with a magic career that includes a return to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, on the back of a sell-out summer one-man show, Hidden Powers, and series of big ticket event performances. Last year Angus was awarded The Derek Award which honours standout acts at The Fringe. Despite a packed schedule, Angus, from Warwickshire, is still finding time to stay true to his pledge to 'pay it forward' by helping others overcome the challenges of neurodiversity through workshops, holiday camps, mentoring and public speaking. He recalls: 'School was a major challenge for me. Teachers didn't understand me because I was behaving very differently to the other students, and I was always known by everyone as the 'naughty one.' I spent so much time in the naughty corner, at one school the teacher even named it after me! 'Lack of understanding of Asperger's Syndrome, when everyone thinks you're being odd or naughty when in actual fact it's something you can't help, can be a first-class ticket to serious mental health problems and it's why I urge people to fight to get their diagnosis as soon as possible.' 'It wasn't until I found magic that I was able to make friends for the very first time. My social skills improved a lot.' As a Christmas gift in 2014 Angus' parents Neil and Kate enrolled him on a magic course at the famous Davenport's in London, bolstered by which he went on to compete in – and win - his sixth form talent contest. He earned money through his talent for the first time, performing tricks for tips in his local pub. At 19, Angus joined Leamington and Warwick Magic Society and, in 2020 he was accepted as a member of the prestigious Magic Circle. Today, he is in high demand among the magic and public speaking circuits, performing to a who's who list of rich and famous at prestigious venues across the country, including Windsor Castle, The Grosvenor Hotel Park Lane and Greenwich Theatre in London. He's now looking forward to mesmerising Edinburgh audiences once again throughout August with his all-new show on the famous Royal Mile. He said: 'Edinburgh Fringe has been a massive highlight of my career that created a lot of opportunities for me. It is known to be the third biggest ticketed event in the world behind The Olympics and The World Cup so I feel extremely privileged.' Angus is also a regular keynote speaker at autism conferences, conventions and workshops around the country, and a proud neurodiversity ambassador for numerous charities and bodies. 'I think if I had been diagnosed earlier things would have been different,' he said. 'I just felt like I was a bad person and the whole world was against me. I just didn't want to be here,' he said. His mental health battles suffered another setback in 2022 when, while waiting for a train at Warwick Parkway Station, he was witness to a suicide. This traumatic incident eventually led him to train in mental health first aid and suicide and self-harm awareness and prevention and, for the past two years, Angus has found solace in his volunteer work on Stamp Out Suicide's charity helpline. 'I've learned so much about mental health and other people and about autism and how you can achieve anything if you set your mind to it. There's always hope.' After 13 years in the making, Angus now hopes his book will help others not only come to terms with, but embrace their diagnosis. He said: 'I have written this book to show people what it's like to grow up with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I want to share what helped me and what didn't. I also want people to understand how being different isn't bad – it's powerful. I believe the people with autism have amazing gifts to offer the world. 'I've always been different. Not naughty. Not worse, not broken. Just different. Some people see autism as a disability, others see it as a gift. There are challenges – lots of them – but there are also strengths. 'This book is my way of giving back. I want to help people find out what autism looks like from the inside. I want to help parents, teachers and kids find hope and practical ideas. I want neurodivergent people of all ages to know they're not alone. He added: 'This book is such a proud moment for me. There were countless times when I thought about giving up and considered just deleting the whole thing! But it's always been my dream to share my story with the world and the feedback so far has been positive. 'Life on the spectrum can be tough but with support, self-awareness and the right environment, it can also be joyful, meaningful and full of magic. If even one person reads it and feels seen, understood or inspired, then it's all been worth it.' 'Naughty Or Neurodiverse: An Aspie's Road To Magic' is available as a Kindle edition for £6.99 or in paperback for £17.99 from Amazon at: 2 . Contributed Angus with his Derek Award at last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Photo: Submitted Photo Sales 3 . Contributed Angus with his new book which will be available to purchase at his shows.
