Easter in Dubai is a time for reflection, renewal and most importantly, celebration. What better way to embrace Easter than by gathering with friends at one of the city’s most renowned brunch destinations? The Roast by Bubbalicious at Mina’s Kitchen, offers an unforgettable Easter brunch experience that combines delectable cuisine, lively entertainment and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Given that it’s within The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort, it’s an accessible location from anywhere in the city.
Today we’re here celebrating another year. This time last year, we had my mum & sister here for a Dubai Holiday. However, today we celebrate with our Dubai family in attendance.
A Feast Fit for Easter
The Roast by Bubbalicious is a celebration of the quintessential British Sunday roast, elevated to a luxurious brunch affair. Although the lavish spread takes place from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM every Sunday, Easter is a particularly special occasion. Today we are treated to a sumptuous Easter themed spread including carvery delights, seafood selections, British classics, vegetarian options and decadent desserts.
To complement the meal, we select from various beverage packages. The adults select the house wine and spirits package which gives us a large selection at our fingertips. Our friend, Diana, never one to say ‘no’ to bubbles, goes for the free-flowing English sparkling package. The children have the soft beverages (which is discounted for 12 years and under). The range of both food and beverages ensures a delightful dining experience for all tastes.
A Vibrant Atmosphere
The ambiance at The Roast by Bubbalicious is both chic and festive, making it an ideal setting for Easter celebrations. The tables are elegantly set with pink roses and crystal glassware, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed environment. Live music adds to the animated atmosphere, with a band playing a selection of Brit-pop classics, enhancing the atmosphere and overall dining experience.
I take a quick tour of the offering before I commit to anything specific. There are the carvery delights – tender cuts of roast meats such rib of beef, lamb and crispy spit-roast chicken. They’re all carved to order and served with traditional accompaniments like Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and rich gravy.
The British classics include comforting classics like fish and chips and shepherd’s pie. A British Balti station rounds out the mix with favourites offering both mild and spicy curries.
The seafood selection is a variety of fresh seafood options, including oysters, prawns and smoked salmon. This is perfect for those seeking a lighter start to their meal or those, like me, who just love a seafood feast.
There’s plenty for the plant based diners as well with choices such as cauliflower steak, BBQ tofu and beetroot Wellington as well as a huge array of salads and roast veggies.
Leave room to end the meal on a sweet note with an array of desserts, including the chocolate fountains, macaroon tower and a selection of ice creams and pastries.
We settle in for a leisurely afternoon meal with friends. I have settled on oysters to start and am served them freshly shucked from the oyster cart. They are large and succulent and go well with my drink of the day – a classic G&T.
As I’m lingering over my entree, my husband, Jason, tucks into a plate of roast beef. Jasper has gone for the red meat as well developing a taste for the tender brisket and Harley has sought out the classic fish & chips.
Fun for the Whole Family
After their meal the kids are gone. Easter brunch at The Roast by Bubbalicious is not just about exceptional food; it’s also about creating lasting memories with loved ones. The dedicated kids’ area offers a range of activities to keep younger guests entertained, including arts & crafts, face painting and magic shows. My boys feign disinterest in these things now but today, they can’t help but be eggcited about the Easter egg hunt.
With these engaging activities, the adults sit back to relax and enjoy our meal, knowing that the kids are somewhere – having a blast in a safe and supervised environment.
