Five Brunches to Try in Ras Al Khaimah

Brunch in Ras Al Khaimah has evolved far beyond the traditional buffet. Across the emirate, beachfront restaurants, resort terraces and lively dining venues are offering experiences built around regional flavours, Asian cuisine, live entertainment and full-day access to pools and beaches.

Whether you are looking for a relaxed family afternoon, a stylish beach-club setting or a more energetic evening brunch, these five options offer something different.

Brunch atLevant & Nar

For a brunch where the food takes centre stage, Brunch & Nar is one of Ras Al Khaimah’s strongest choices.

Set inside the InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa, the Saturday brunch celebrates Turkish and Levantine cuisine. The menu features colourful mezze, fresh salads, grilled meats and regional dishes served against views of the Arabian Gulf.

The atmosphere is polished but relaxed, making it equally suitable for families, couples and groups who want a sociable brunch without the feel of a party venue.

Location: InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa
When: Saturdays, 1pm–4pm
Price: AED215 with soft drinks; AED315 with house beverages; AED105 for children aged six to 12; children under six dine free
Best for: Regional flavours and a refined waterfront setting

Brunch au Soleil at Bar du Port

Bar du Port brings the easy-going spirit of the French Riviera to Hayat Island.

Brunch au Soleil is a four-hour beach-club experience combining Mediterranean-inspired food, music, poolside views and a lively social atmosphere. Guests can expect sharing plates, seafood, salads, risotto, grilled dishes and desserts, with several beverage packages available.

The afternoon generally starts relaxed and becomes more energetic as the day progresses, making it a strong option for celebrations, groups of friends and anyone who prefers brunch with a stylish coastal setting.

Location: Bar du Port Beach, Hayat Island, Mina Al Arab
When: Saturdays, 12pm–4pm
Price: From AED240 with soft drinks; beverage packages rise to AED640 for the premium Champagne option

Tipsy Tempura at Sanchaya

Not every brunch needs to happen during the day. Tipsy Tempura offers a different take on the format with an adults-only evening experience.

Hosted at Sanchaya in DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island, the brunch focuses on Asian cuisine, including sushi, sashimi, tempura and wok-prepared dishes. Artisan cocktails, entertainment and an after-party give the evening a more energetic feel than a traditional hotel brunch.

It is a particularly good choice for guests who want dinner, drinks and entertainment in one experience.

Location: Sanchaya, DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island
When: Fridays, 7pm–10pm, followed by an after-party
Price: AED299 per person with house beverages
Best for: Asian cuisine, cocktails and a lively night out

Summer Brunch at Basilico

Basilico is ideal for anyone who wants brunch to become a full resort day.

Located at The Cove Rotana Resort, the Mediterranean-inspired brunch combines seasonal dishes, seafood, grilled meats, salads, desserts and live cooking stations. The package also includes access to the resort’s beach and swimming pools, adding extra value for families and groups.

The setting is relaxed and scenic, with live music and waterfront views creating an easy weekend atmosphere.

Which Brunch Should You Choose?

Choose Brunch & Nar for the strongest regional food experience, Bar du Port for a stylish beach-club afternoon and Basilico for a relaxed resort day with pool and beach access.

For something later and livelier, Tipsy Tempura stands out as an adults-only evening option, while The Islander’s Brunch remains a popular seasonal favourite worth watching for future dates.

With settings ranging from Marjan Island to Mina Al Arab, Ras Al Khaimah’s brunch scene now offers far more than one style of weekend dining. The best choice depends on whether the priority is the food, the setting, the entertainment or simply spending the afternoon beside the sea.
