Weekend in Dubai Calls For A Brunch, A Picnic Brunch!
This is going to be one post where I am deliberately not writing much. I want the pictures to convey it all! An amazing day – a real break away from the city’s manic lifestyle… lazing on the mat, surrounded by the greens of Al Badia Golf Club, and the famous cityscape at the backdrop… this was a real picnic – a perfect picnic, a posh picnic, a must-do picnic, a can’t-wait-to-return picnic. I have never experienced such a relaxed day out in the city which boasts of as many different kind of brunches as the number of nationalities that make up the city’s demography! On top of that I hear that the picnic brunch is being extended to a Moonlit Picnic on the Valentine’s Day (priced at AED 580 per couple, inclusive of food, soft drinks and a bottle of sparkling beverage)… please can someone offer to baby sit the Z-Sisters so that I avail this offer? For now, enjoy the Dubai weather as long as it lasts… and go out on a picnic… it’s that simple. Trying to match the dictionary meaning of the word picnic with the experience that we had – yes, a match made in the greens of Al Badia Golf Club!
Unblogging it all… Ishita

Beautiful “déjeuner sur l’herbe”, Ishita. Monet would have been delighted to paint this scene 😉

Beautiful pictures Ishita!
Just so you know I am avidly following your blog these days. In the midst of different career, I’m trying to reinvent myself as food blogger and you are a true inspiration! Although its at its initial stages, please do check out my blog.

What is it about eating outdoors? If I can drag my lot out for brunch this is top of my list. With a golf club view for KP 🙂

Absolutely a top pick while the weather lasts. I have also booked myself into the moonlit picnic brunch on the Valentines Day. I find the entire Valentine thing very cliched, but really fell for it!

Those pictures you have are very beautiful. I love traveling and part of it is exploring new things to do. Last I went to Dubai, I had my first Lebanese taste of food in Zahr El-Laymoun. The place was perfect for relaxation and they had best salad ever. This time, you just give me the idea what to do next. Thanks!
