The short version
Business Bay does a quieter brunch than its neighbours. No beach, no wheel, just the canal and a cluster of tower restaurants the area's residents have mostly kept to themselves. Six rooms make the cut, and a couple are among the best-value brunches in this part of town.
Long Teng's dim sum brunch is the bargain at AED 188, ROKA's family brunch starts at AED 200, and Soul Kitchen's Big Bad Brunch and Couqley's Sunday Funday land at AED 225 and AED 218. Step up and Jones Social runs a brunch from AED 325, with China Tang's Grand Tier reaching AED 398. Every venue below is a Business Bay room we've confirmed has a live brunch.

Good to know
Brunch here splits across the weekend, with Couqley's Sunday Funday and a mix of Saturday sittings. These are dining rooms rather than party venues, so it's a brunch for a long lunch with friends, not a dancefloor. Long Teng and China Tang carry the Chinese end, ROKA the Japanese, Soul Kitchen the all-rounder.
Business Bay parking is easier than Downtown or DIFC, with tower basements and some street parking, though the canal-side spots fill on weekends. It sits one canal over from both Downtown and DIFC, so it's an easy fallback when those are booked out. Reserve for Jones Social and China Tang.
Questions
What time is brunch in Business Bay?
Most run weekend afternoons, roughly noon to 4pm. Couqley's Sunday Funday is a Sunday sitting, Long Teng opens earlier at 11:30, and ROKA runs a midday family brunch. Check each venue for the exact day and hours.
Which Business Bay brunch is best value?
Long Teng's dim sum brunch at AED 188 is the cheapest on the list, with ROKA's family brunch from AED 200 and Couqley's Sunday Funday from AED 218 close behind. All three are solid for a relaxed weekend without the beach-club price.
Is Business Bay good for a low-key brunch?
Yes, that's its strength. These are sit-down restaurant brunches, not parties, so they suit a long catch-up over a loud afternoon. Jones Social and Soul Kitchen are the social picks, Long Teng and China Tang the food-first ones.
How much is brunch in Business Bay?
It runs from AED 188 at Long Teng up to AED 398 at China Tang's Grand Tier. The sweet spot sits around AED 200 to 325 across Soul Kitchen, ROKA, Couqley and Jones Social.
Do I need to book brunch in Business Bay?
For Jones Social and China Tang on a weekend, yes. The rest will usually seat a walk-in early in the sitting, but a booking is safer on Saturdays and Sundays.
