Something very nice about mornings here. It is like the day has come along with breakfast, the mall is just starting to buzz, the fresh coffee in the cafes is smelling so good, the day is just waiting to start, it almost seems as though breakfast comes with a side of a good mood.
This is not a question of getting a quick bite on the run. In Dubai Mall, breakfast is supposed to be savoured. A basket of warm bread, a plate of pancakes drizzled enough to make you smile, or the usual spread that feels like comfort on a plate, it all prepares the next hours.
What makes it even better? Everyone finds their rhythm. The families move to comfortable areas, friends meet and chat over cappuccinos, and individuals sit and dig into something light and then wander on and on through the endless shops. And half the fun of choice here.
Breakfast in the Dubai Mall is an adventure, as you are transported into different mornings from around the world, each with its own traditions and beauty.
Ready to ditch your usual breakfast routine? Once you’ve experienced morning here, you’ll keep wanting to explore the world of breakfast places in Dubai.
American Breakfast
There’s a reason the American breakfast has a fan club all over the world: it’s big, bold, and unapologetically hearty. Think stacks of pancakes that arrive at the table like skyscrapers, bacon that gives you that perfect crunch, eggs done any way you like, and golden potatoes on the side just to make sure you don’t leave hungry. Add a tall glass of orange juice and coffee that wakes you up properly, and you’ve got the kind of start that powers you through anything.
At Dubai Mall, you’ll find all of this at IHOP (International House of Pancakes). Their famous towers of pancakes, endless omelette choices, and classic diner vibe make you feel like you’ve stepped straight into a slice of America, without ever leaving the UAE.
Mediterranean Breakfast
If mornings had a soundtrack, the Mediterranean one would be all about ease, colour, and little bites that turn into a feast. At DOORS Dubai Mall, breakfast feels like stepping straight into Turkey. Freshly baked simit sprinkled with sesame, soft white cheese that practically melts at the touch, crisp cucumbers and tomatoes kissed with olive oil, it’s the kind of spread that slows you down in the best way.
Then there’s the menemen, eggs scrambled gently with peppers and tomatoes until they taste like sunshine, and shakshuka that arrives bubbling in its pan, filling the air with spice and warmth. Turkish tea comes in curved glasses, steaming and amber, while labneh swirled with za’atar and grilled halloumi add their own stories to the table.
For the full experience, their set Turkish breakfast ties everything together, an abundant spread that feels like an invitation to linger. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience worth making time for, so get yourself a table and let the morning unfold the Mediterranean way.
French Breakfast
Enter Angelina Paris in Dubai Mall, and you get the impression that you are in a quiet street in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This unmistakably Parisian air has that air of calm mornings and attention to detail. The croissants come out golden and delicate, pain au chocolat contains just the desired amount of richness, and then they have their famous L’Africain hot chocolate that is so smooth and soft that it almost qualifies as indulgence.
It goes on with tartines of butter and jam, soft-boiled eggs and thin toast soldiers, and crêpes turned as neatly as silk scarves. Every mouthful draws you further into the pace of a morning in France, and reminds you that breakfast here is as much of an ambience as of flavour.
It is a breakfast restaurant in Dubai Mall that turns Dubai into Paris at least temporarily, allowing the morning to pass the way it would in the boulevards of France.
Australian Breakfast
Australian breakfasts are known for being hearty yet wholesome, the kind that balance comfort with a touch of freshness. They’re mornings made to linger, with coffee as the anchor and plates that feel generous without trying too hard.
At Jones the Grocer, this beloved Aussie franchise brings that tradition to the Dubai Mall. Their menu is a gentle nod to Melbourne mornings: silky Eggs Benedict, poached eggs with avocado and basil pesto on toasted sourdough, and homemade coconut pancakes that taste like a holiday on a plate. For something lighter, there’s a vibrant açaí bowl that feels as refreshing as it looks. And if you’re after the full spread, their all-in breakfast covers it all, eggs your way with sausages, smoked beef bacon, sautéed mushrooms, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes glazed with molasses, hash browns, and miso sourdough toast to bring it all together.
Jones the Grocer turns breakfast into a little escape, the kind that carries the ease of Melbourne mornings into the heart of Dubai.
Emirati Breakfast
Described as serving “the rich Emirati and Khaleeji cuisine” with traditional elements, Logma brings the UAE’s breakfast soul to the table. These are the flavours locals grew up with, dishes layered with memory as much as taste.
Khameer bread arrives soft and slightly sweet, ready to be torn, dipped in date syrup, or paired with salty local cheese. Balaleet surprises you in the best way, sweet vermicelli noodles crowned with a savoury omelette, a contrast that somehow only the Emirates could make feel so natural. Regag is cooked paper-thin and wrapped around eggs and cheese with delicate folds, while chebab pancakes, scented with saffron and cardamom, gleam gold before being drizzled with date syrup from local palms. And then there are naghar eggs, scrambled with tomatoes and spices, transforming the everyday into something unmistakably Emirati.
Each plate tells a story, turning breakfast into an introduction to the roots and rhythms of Emirati culture.
A Taste of Every Corner of the World
At Dubai Mall, mornings feel like travel without the flight, one table might echo local heritage, another might carry you abroad with timeless favourites. Whether it’s the spice of the region, the richness of coffee culture, or something sweet to start the day, this is where breakfasts from around the world meet.
