There's a Christmas brunch happening in Dubai next week
Yes you heard right. It might not be the season of jingle bells and Santa's sleigh, but that won't stop one Dubai restaurant from throwing a Christmas bash in the middle of June. Catering to the crimbo-obsessed (or those who think about Christmas dinner all-year round), Reform Social & Grill has announced its 'halfway to Christmas' brunch will be making a return for 2025. If you like this: 19 top family brunches in Dubai to bookmark for 2025 Full of festive cheer, you'll get to unwrap three hours of merriment, with free-flowing drinks and a themed menu on Saturday June 21. However, since the temperatures are currently creeping up to 40C, the Christmas brunch will have a sun-soaked twist, with flip-flops, surfer Santa and a Hawaiian shirt or two. One for all the family, the little ones can get stuck into the arts and crafts station, as well as a backyard cricket set-up for everyone to get involved in. (Credit: Supplied) The Christmas dinner itself will start off with classic dishes from prawn cocktail to oysters, as well cold cuts and fresh bread with truffle butter. The main event will of course be filled with a selection of roasted meats from turkey to lamb with a rosemary jus and even a roasted barramundi fish, all served with the classic trimmings and roast potatoes. Finishing up on a sweet note, you'll end the Christmas brunch with a huge dessert platter, packed with traditional pavlova with berries and passionfruit, a fresh fruit salad, miniature mince pies and slices of rich chocolate Yule log.

From parent and baby sessions to happy hours and family brunches, there's always a good reason to return. The food is tasty – especially the belly-busting breakfasts – and kids will be happy with their choice. The pub garden is also excellent.

With a swimming pool to dip into (with a minimum spend you can get a lounger and pool access) as well as the beach to play on and a beach playground area with swings and a climbing frame, the kids will be occupied for hours. Food ranges from grills and seafood selections to pizzas, burgers and fish and chips so all bases are covered there.

With views over the Creek, yachts and Dubai skyline beyond, it's a picture-perfect spot and the lagoon pool itself is stunning too. With sugar-soft sand and comfy loungers, plus a splash pad for the kids and plenty of pool toys, it has all the holiday feels. The cover charge is non-redeemable, but there's an a la carte menu of salads, pasta, pizza and more for when you and the gang get peckish – and as you'd expect from Twiggy the food quality is high. Licensed. Park Hyatt Dubai, Deira, (04 602 1105). Check out our full Twiggy Family review here Shortlisted Bread Street Kitchen Gordon Ramsay's family-friendly restaurant at Atlantis The Palm focuses on modern British cuisine. Crowd pleasers like prawn cocktail, Caesar salad, sirloin steak, fish & chips, butter chicken curry and a classic burger satisfy people of all ages, while there is a dedicated kids' menu too – the mac 'n cheese being an absolute belter. Bread Street Kitchen weaves the perfect line between being casual enough for a weekday supper or Sunday roast, to being impressive enough for a special birthday celebration or family gathering. Take the whole gang and bag a table on the outdoor terrace while it's cool enough. Licensed. Atlantis The Palm, Palm Jumeirah, (04 426 2626).

Expect classic Italian dishes – pizza, pasta, calzone, salad, etc – as well as gelato and traditional desserts, so order a bunch of dishes and share. There are also kids' activities and a live singer at the weekends and it's full of happy families getting stuck into homely dishes on a sunny day out. Licensed.

The menu covers the full gamut from tacos to croquettes, sliders to escargot, burgers, pizzas, grills, salads and beyond, so even the fussiest of eaters are well catered for here, which is why it's one of the best family restaurants in Dubai for 2025.

With picnic benches dotted around the expansive lawn, it's a popular place for families in the area – and further afield. There's plenty of grassy space for kids (and dogs) to run around and work up an appetite, while if you have visitors in town it ticks all the boxes for Burj Khalifa views. The menu is a proper pub grub situation and the roasts are the major draw, with ginormous Yorkshire puds and lashings of gravy, while kids' meals include the usual pizza, chicken tenders and bangers and mash.
