Spooky Brunch at the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray
Why go?
1. The spooky brunch will be serving up Halloween-themed treats, with a vast selection of pumpkin dishes and a creepy drinks menu, including Bloody Marys, natch.
2. In true Halloween style, the entire – and very grand restaurant – has been transformed into a haunted house, so expect creaking doors and spider webs aplenty as you’re tucking into your pumpkin pie.
3. If you go all out and dress up you could win a free brunch, as the hotel will be giving a complementary Friday session to the guest with the best costume. Great motivation to dig out your spookiest dress and go all out. Cost Dh275 with soft drinks, Dh395 with
house beverages, Dh550 with bubbles
