Okay, picture this: a gentle breeze off Dubai Creek is being felt, the sun is being allowed to stop flexing for the week, and you — napkin in one hand, fork in the other — are being seated at a table that somehow makes laziness look elegant. Welcome to Skafos’ Creekside Mediterranean Brunch, which is being brought back for October Saturdays and is ready to turn “just another weekend” into a full-blown seaside celebration.
Starting October 11th, every Saturday from 1 PM to 4 PM, the weekday hum is being swapped for a mellow, music-soaked waterfront escape at Skafos, Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef. Whether a gang of friends is being rolled in, the whole family is being lugged along, or a one-person taste-test mission is being staged, this is the kind of brunch that only asks to be obeyed: come hungry and stay for the vibe.
What’s on the table (besides joy)
The brunch is opened like a love letter to freshness — a creamy Greek Burrata Salad and a zingy Watermelon & Feta Salad are being offered to get things started. From there, the live stations are being handed the spotlight as chefs are put center stage, grilling smoky Jumbo Garlic Shrimp, turning perfect Lamb Chops, and serving Chicken Shish Tawouk straight off the heat. It’s being presented as dramatic in the best, mouthwatering way.
Comfort-food lovers are being covered. Hand-stretched pizzas and freshly made pasta are being provided to cradle the soul between bites. For those feeling adventurous, the chef’s playful bites are being suggested — sticky chicken wings, smash-burger-filled crispy spring rolls, and golden halloumi fries served with a punchy spiced tomato chutney are being offered. Yes, napkins will be kept busy. Yes, delight will be induced.
For the main event, crowd-pleasers such as pan-seared flank steak and crispy-skinned salmon are being expected — meaty, flaky, and entirely unbothered by cravings.
Dessert = instant happiness
When sugar is required, the dessert station does not disappoint. A live ice-cream bar — where sprinkles are basically currency — is being provided, plus a kid-friendly corner is being stocked with popcorn, marshmallows, gummy delights, and brownie bites (because bribing children is being treated as an art form here). For grown-up sweet teeth, homemade baklava with Greek yogurt ganache, an orange/lemongrass/dark chocolate truffle trio, the signature Canopy cheesecake, assorted macarons, and an indulgent chocolate croquembouche are being placed at the ready.
Vibes & tunes
The tempo is being set by a resident DJ — think mellow brunch bops, not the kind of bass that scares your mimosa — while the Creek is being watched to twinkle politely in the background. A soundtrack is being created that lets conversations flow, forks fly, and laughter happen without effort.
