The Tiger Brunch at The Citronelle Club
Finding a good Friday night brunch with great food, drinks, music, and a decent price in Dubai? Yeah, almost impossible. But guess what? This week, us and a group of sixteen friends tried out The Tiger Brunch at The Citronelle Club, and we all agreed it’s definitely worth adding to your list.
First Impressions of The Citronelle Club
The place looks great, very stylish, with warm lighting, an open kitchen, and killer skyline views. Plus, a DJ that actually knows how to keep the vibe going. Heads up though, getting there is a tad confusing. You have to drive up a spiral ramp through the parking garage, and it feels like you’re going up to the 16th floor (not sure how many levels we actually climbed). Just follow the signs carefully, even when it feels like you should already be there.
The Menu & Pricelist
The brunch packages start at AED 299 (soft) per person, including food and beverages, with an option to upgrade depending on your drink preferences. If you use The Entertainer app’s buy-one-get-one-free deal, you’re getting a steal.
Pro tip: Champagne is only AED 170 extra, and well worth the upgrade!
Starters That Impress
The brunch started off with a fantastic selection of starters. Everything was tasty, but the Korean fried chicken stole the show. I’m a sucker for KFC, and this one definitely put the K in KFC, crispy, sticky, and sweet in all the right ways. The Thai green curry pancakes were just as impressive, aromatic and punchy without being overpowering. We liked them so much that when the waitress asked if we wanted more, the whole table shouted, “Yes, please!
Main Course
For mains, the highlights for me were the sea bream and Mongolian lamb, perfectly cooked and tasty enough to make you forget your diet!
Sweet Endings
The mochi with whipped cream was an absolute dream. And honestly, if I can still remember the desserts by that stage, after all those endless pours, you know they must have been really good!
Drinks at The Tiger Brunch
Drinks were solid. Cosmopolitans and margaritas were the crowd favourites, and the Prosecco was great too.
Atmosphere and Service
The vibe is classy but fun exactly what you want for a Friday night brunch in Dubai. Staff were friendly and attentive, which makes a huge difference when you’re a big group.
Bottom Line
If you’re looking for a stylish, fun Friday night brunch with tasty food and drinks, The Tiger Brunch at The Citronelle Club is definitely your meal ticket. Just give yourself a bit of extra time to find the place.
