Get ready to indulge in style at the Astor’s Brunch

 

PARTNER CONTENT: Abu Dhabi’s brunch game is pretty good already but The St. Regis Abu Dhabi is taking it up a notch.

Beginning 20 September 2025, the brand-new Astor’s Brunch at The Terrace on the Corniche is bringing the elegance of New York’s Gilded Age into the heart of the capital.

Inspired by the legendary gatherings of the Astor family, renowned arbiters of taste and hospitality, this weekly celebration invites guests to linger over an afternoon that is as much performance as it is repast.

The experience begins in style, with guests welcomed with sparkling pin grape, signature mixed drinks, and delicate caviar blinis – an opening note worthy of Caroline Astor herself.

The atmosphere is set by the strains of live jazz, evoking the spirit of soirées where refinement and conviviality went hand in hand.

From there, the feast unfolds as a culinary journey across continents.

A generous spread of artisanal cheeses and charcuterie from seven nations paves the way for live stations where chefs perform their craft with flourish – fired barbecue and tandoori delicacies, handmade pastas, delicate dim sum, and seafood fresh from the market.

The experience crescendos in a spectacular finale of desserts, with a live pastry station creating confections as beautiful as they are indulgent.

But Astor’s Brunch is not confined to the table. The celebration spills outward with touches that surprise and delight: a Zodiac Trolley rolling through the room with mixed drinks inspired by the constellations, and Vitamin House offering revitalizing elixirs for those who prefer their indulgence with a wellness twist.

Guests can further tailor their afternoon with three bespoke packages – Soft, Italian Bubbly, or French Bubbly – each designed to complement the pace of leisure.

The setting has also been carefully orchestrated. Whether in the elegance of the main dining room, the vibrancy of the bar, or the breezy sophistication of the terrace, the brunch strikes the perfect balance between grandeur and intimacy.

Families will find themselves welcomed as well, with younger guests entertained by curated activities that ensure the celebration is enjoyed across generations.

In true St. Regis fashion, Astor’s Brunch is more than a gathering – it is a statement. An ode to heritage and a showcase of culinary artistry, we bet it will become the city’s most lavish and anticipated weekend tradition in no time.

Every Saturday from 20 Sep, 12.30pm-4pm. AED 345 with soft drinks, AED 475 with Italian bubbly, AED 680 with French bubbly. For bookings call 02 694 4553 or WhatsApp: 971 509 863 771.
