Flooka Friday Seafood Brunch

Festival City · Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa - Jumeira St - Jumeirah - Jumeirah 1 - Dubai - United Arab Emirates

Website

A generous seafood-forward Friday brunch at Dubai Festival City, lobster, oysters and Creek views.

Flooka's seafood brunch at Dubai Festival City is one of the most distinctive Friday offerings in the city - a brunch built almost entirely around the sea, with a live seafood counter, raw bar, grilled whole fish, and a prawn selection that keeps arriving through the afternoon. The setting at Festival City with water and marina views provides the right context for a long, seafood-led lunch with fresh Arabic bread, dips, and mezze woven between the main courses. Pricing is AED 350–450 per person depending on the drinks package, placing it at fair value for what it delivers - particularly given that quality seafood brunches are harder to find than their meat equivalents. Service is attentive rather than rushed. Book a terrace table when reserving for the full waterfront experience. The brunch crowd tends to be relaxed and well-fed by 3pm, making it one of the more civilised ways to spend a Friday afternoon in Dubai.

Frequently Asked Questions

01What makes Flooka Friday Seafood Brunch special?
Flooka's Friday Seafood Brunch at Dubai Festival City Mall is one of the few brunches in Dubai centred entirely around fresh seafood. Expect oysters, lobster, grilled fish, prawns, sushi, and a dedicated seafood spread. The Creek views from the terrace add to the experience.
02How much does the Flooka Friday Brunch cost?
The brunch starts from approximately AED 275 for the soft package and AED 375–425 for the house beverage package. Premium seafood items such as whole lobster may be charged extra depending on the package tier.
03Do I need to book the Flooka Friday Brunch in advance?
Yes — Flooka's seafood brunch is popular and tables book out, particularly during peak season. Book directly through Flooka. Window and terrace seats with Creek views are the most requested.
04What is the setting like at Flooka?
Flooka at Dubai Festival City Mall overlooks the Dubai Creek waterfront. The terrace offers beautiful views of the Creek and the skyline. In cooler months, the outdoor seating is particularly pleasant.
05What are the highlights of the Flooka seafood spread?
The live seafood counter with fresh oysters, whole lobster, and king prawns are the centrepieces. The sushi and sashimi station is also highly rated. The kitchen sources fresh daily catches which changes the available selection week to week.
06Is Flooka Friday Brunch suitable for non-seafood eaters?
While seafood is the main focus, Flooka does offer some meat and vegetarian options as part of the brunch. However, if you are not a seafood fan, this brunch is probably not the best choice — the experience is designed around the seafood spread.
