Dinner by Heston Blumenthal gives its Sunday roast an upgrade
The elegant Sunday roast at the city's best European restaurant, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal Dubai, has been revamped. It was elevated under the leadership of the new chef de cuisine, Chris Malone. So, what's new? For starters, the menu. The roast now comes in a two-course format as well. You can choose between a starter and main, or a main and dessert (perfect if you've been eyeing that Bakewell tart). Thoroughly famished? The three-course option is very much on the table. Running from noon to 3pm, every Sunday, you can tuck into the two-course roast for Dhs345 or the three-course roast for Dhs395. Little ones, too, get their own menu. It's Dhs195 for children. What's on the plate? A quintessentially British roast, just with a bit of Heston magic. There's Black Angus sirloin, slow-cooked until it falls apart on the slightest touch, served with horseradish cream, rich beef gravy and a Yorkshire pud stuffed with braised ox cheek. If you want to keep things light, you can opt for the roast chicken, which comes with morel mushrooms, brioche and the sort of bread sauce that might make you rethink your loyalties. But what's a Sunday roast without potatoes? Don't miss out on savouring 'The Roastie', a Heston's signature. It's golden crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside. The sort of spuds you'll talk about how to recreate for your next dinner at home. If you have room for dessert (we're impressed), you'll be choosing from the raspberry trifle, a Bakewell tart, or a reimagined chocolate bar. The familiar favourites still come with the usual Heston spin that you won't be able to stop Instagramming about. The iconic Nitrogen Ice Cream trolley is still there for that added drama. Drinks-wise, you're in excellent hands. The globally sourced grape list is one of the most extensive in the city, curated by Gault&Millau's 'Best Sommelier of the Year', Arturo Scamardella. If that doesn't float your boat, then the lively mixed drinks bar is more than ready to mix up something special with its playful range of infusions. Inspired by 15th-century British cuisine, this is a classic roast reimagined for the modern day. And it is one you need to try, whether you're looking for a spot to spend meaningful time with the family or trying to impress your date with your superior foodie skills. Time to get booking:

Why Dragonfly's Metamorphosis brunch needs to be on your to-visit list
Have plans for Saturday yet? If not, you have to check out this transformative brunch experience at Dragonfly. Named The Metamorphosis Brunch, you can expect modern Japanese food served afresh every course at Dragonfly. Inside Dragonfly, located at The Lana Promenade, the Japanese-Asian restaurant takes its cues from eastern temples, with intricately carved ceilings, Kokeshi dolls and rugged rock installations setting the perfectly unique vibe. Throw in that warm reddish glow, and Dubai feels miles away. The open kitchen means you're right in on the action, watching chefs plate up some serious magic. And just like the interiors, the menu blends tradition with a modern twist. Available every Saturday from 1pm to 4pm, Metamorphosis Brunch takes you on a four-course journey packed with bold flavours, crafted by none other than Singaporean chef Reif Othman. With 25 years of experience, Othman is an acclaimed name on the city's restaurant scene for his mastery of Japanese cuisine. Start with beef tartare with plantain crisps and furikake, then move on to black cod donburi with miso butter. Crispy rock shrimp tempura and delicate salmon tataki make an appearance too, along with truffle-infused mushroom croquettes that'll have you going back for more. For dessert, tuck into a salted caramel gelato and enjoy the kind of ending that makes you linger over every bite. Of course, brunch isn't brunch without a drink. Free-flowing Asian-inspired mixes are on the menu, along with a selection of premium sips if you're in the mood to level up. As the afternoon unfolds, so does the energy. The resident DJ keeps the tempo just right, while signature animation dancers bring an extra spark to the setting. The whole experience flows, much like the drinks. The brunch is priced at Dhs345 with soft drinks, Dhs495 with mixed drinks and Dhs525 with grape and Dhs695 for bubbly. If your weekends need a little shake-up, consider this your sign and make a beeline for Dragonfly. Book now: From Dhs345. Every Saturday, 1pm-4pm.
