Sun’s out, bunnies are hopping and golden eggs are perfectly laden in a basket. Isn’t this the perfect Easter scene that we all conjure up in our minds every season? I know the weather’s been a bit moody lately, more “50 shades of grey” than “springtime in Dubai”, and let’s be honest, March felt like a year-long marathon where we all forgot to hydrate. But let’s welcome April with a fresh state of mind. What better way to hit the reset button than celebrating the rising of Jesus Christ this Sunday? Breaking those 40 days of fasting (or just surviving a chaotic month) is finally within reach. If your Easter brunch/lunch plans are still as messy as a toddler with a chocolate egg, look no further. I’ve rounded up 7 wholesome deals that’ll make you the family hero without burning a hole in your pocket.
1. Easter Sunday Family Roast At Stables
If you fancy a rustic, “I’m-pretending-to-be-in-the-English-countryside” vibe, this is it.
- Where: Sheikh Zayed Road
- When: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
- Cost: AED 69 for adults; and because miracles do happen, Kids Go Free!
And what’s even better? The Stables has tonnes of activities lined up for kids like Easter egg hunt, face painting and more. Thus, you’d be sure to have a moment to savour that Yorkshire pudding while their tiny feet scurry away in exploration. Oh, and here’s what’s on the menu – traditional roast with meat options, trimmings, roasted potatoes, honey-roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding more.
2. Crowne’s Easter Brunch
After the church run in the morning, maybe your tummy is craving a legendary feast. Consider that as a sign to head to Crowne Plaza for their Easter brunch. Lots of delicious grub that looks straight out of your favourite aesthetic Insta page paired with the best corners for photo-ops.

A full-on feast at a steal, with flavours that’ll make you consider extending your “just lunch” into a full day affair.
5. Easter Brunch @ The Croft
