Easter in Dubai doesn’t hold back – it’s about booking the right table and settling in for the kind of afternoon that turns into evening without anyone noticing. Across the city, restaurants are leaning into the occasion with long lunches, generous brunches and menus built for indulgence – think slow-cooked lamb, seafood towers, and desserts that don’t pretend to be nonchalant. Whether you’re gathering the family or rounding up a few friends, this is your excuse to step out, dress well and celebrate properly.
LaFamiglia Dubai
LaFamiglia brings classic Italian dining to Easter with a menu that blends homemade pastas, fresh seafood, and slow-cooked mains in a warm, relaxed setting. Think artisanal pizzas, rich risottos, and comfort-driven classics that make a long lunch feel like a proper celebration. On top of that, the restaurant is unveiling a limited Signature Collection of handcrafted chocolate eggs this Easter. Signature Surprise Eggs hide rochers in combinations like almond & cranberry or raspberry & pistachio, while gourmet-filled, classic, and playful kids’ designs round out the collection – perfect for gifting, or keeping for yourself.

Signor Sassi Dubai
If Easter calls for tradition, this is where you answer it. Signor Sassi delivers a set menu that leans into classic Italian comfort without losing its edge – vitello tonnato, a crisp spring salad with artichokes and quail eggs, and a slow-cooked lamb shank that’s worth the afternoon alone. Finish with pistachio gelato and brioche, and you’ve got the kind of meal that makes you cancel the rest of your plans. Book now
Bar des Prés Dubai
Bar des Prés brings sophistication and a French touch with a sharing-style Easter Sunday lunch on 5th April. Chef Cyril Lignac’s menu includes Japanese wagyu tartare, crab & avocado galette, miso-caramelised green asparagus, and marinated grilled lamb chops. Dessert will not disappoint. A festive Easter rabbit with lime cream, mango sorbet, and coconut sablé, plus an exclusive chocolate egg hiding a marshmallow surprise. Book here
Tasca by José Avillez
Perched above the coastline, Tasca brings a sharper, more social take on Easter. The Portuguese-inspired spread is designed for the table – wagyu tartare cones, tempura codcakes, roasted octopus, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder, all made to share. Add free-flowing drinks and sweeping sea views, and this is less a brunch, more a slow-burn celebration. Book now
Il Gattopardo Dubai
For city slickers, Il Gattopardo serves Easter in true Italian style.

Guests can also take home a limited-edition hand-painted chocolate egg. The afternoon flows into drinks and a live DJ set, making it one of Dubai’s more elevated Easter options. Book now
Roberto’s Dubai
Fresh from a revamp, Roberto’s feels sharper than ever. Easter here is a relaxed but well-executed affair – start with a spread of crudi, antipasti, and salads, then move onto mains served to the table, from seabass to ribeye and rich mushroom risotto. The dessert trolley seals the deal, making it dangerously easy to overstay (in the best way). Book now
