Let’s be honest: Easter is basically the unofficial holiday of “eating too much and pretending it’s tradition.” And you know what? We fully support it. This year, ditch the stress of overcooked roasts and pastel tablecloths, and treat yourself to an Easter Sunday that’s all about chilled vibes, jaw-dropping views, and food that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy dance.
Welcome to Samakjë’s Easter Family Brunch — where April 20th (yep, mark that calendar) is looking like sunshine, sea breeze, and zero responsibilities except showing up hungry.
From 1 PM to 5 PM, Samakjë is transforming its Palm Jumeirah rooftop into your new favorite family gathering spot. It’s giving Mediterranean magic with a side of Lebanese hospitality — and honestly, your living room could never.
What’s on the Menu? Oh, Just Everything Delicious.
Let’s start with the food, because let’s be real, that’s the main event. Samakjë’s brunch is a full-on flavor fest celebrating Lebanon’s legendary cuisine. Think:
- Mezze galore — from the zesty crunch of Tabbouleh to creamy, dreamy Hummus Beiruti
- Fish Arayes that are crisped to perfection
- Shrimp Kibbeh that will ruin you for all other kibbehs
- A fresh seafood display so gorgeous, even your camera will want a bite
- And of course, grilled fish so good, it’ll have you questioning every sad salmon filet you’ve ever had
Feeling fancy? Upgrade your experience with a carafe of Arak, because traditions are important — especially the ones that come with a little buzz.
Meanwhile, The Kids Are Living Their Best Lives
This isn’t one of those “adults-only, whisper-quiet” brunches. Oh no. This is family-friendly and proudly so. While you sip, snack, and soak in the views, the little ones will be kept very busy with:
- Easter-themed face painting (bunny whiskers = mandatory)
- A live knafeh station, aka sugary, cheesy magic happening right before their eyes
Because nothing says “family gathering” like hyped-up kids with frosting on their noses and a sugar crash pending.
So, Why Samakjë?
Because it’s more than just a meal — it’s that rare unicorn of an event where you actually enjoy the company, the food is worth talking about, and nobody has to do the dishes. Whether you’re reminiscing with your auntie over mezze or creating new memories as your kids decorate their fifth Easter egg, this brunch is all about connection — and maybe a second helping of hummus.
