Legends Brunch
Ideal for… a Friday outdoor brunch option
Restaurant name and location: Legends, Dubai Creek & Golf Club
Cuisine: Mixed cuisine with a focus on steaks
Atmosphere: A relaxed family vibe for a Friday brunch, which was lovely. It was a rainy, gloomy day which was the worst day to check it out as I heard it’s always beautiful and sunny. It was definitely full though… the Jazz music definitely made us forget the gloom outside.
What they say: The iconic Legends restaurant at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club has recently been transformed during a complete makeover which sees all elements of the venue – food, design and layout – modernized to make the venue a must visit dining destination on Dubai’s Creek.
What to order:
-Buffet choice for starters and dessert – A la carte for the mains.
-Gnocchi with Blue cheese (the cheese isn’t too strong, and it was just right.)
-Florentine (If you’re going for a breakfast egg option, the Florentine was just right and delicious.)
-Crepes at the crepe car (mini and aren’t too heavy.)
Service: We had some good and bad moments – I’m guessing this is because of the hassle of it pouring during the brunch.
What I loved:
-The Jazz and DJ music during the brunch.
-I don’t eat pork but they have a pork section.
-The selection was quite scarce for starters but their mains included an a la carte as well as Thai/Indian/Italian sections at the Buffet.
-The Crepe stand at dessert!
