Picture this: Saturday sunshine is being poured over Dubai, a leisurely stroll is being made into the Grand Millennium Hotel, and your weekend mood is being quietly upgraded. Toshi Brunch & Beyond is set to be launched on Saturday, 18 October 2025, and your appetite is being given permission to celebrate.
Why you’ll love it
This isn’t the usual buffet where sad salad is being offered and sauces are being misidentified. A culinary block party is being hosted where bold Asian flavors are being introduced to rich Middle Eastern classics. Fresh sushi will be rolled beside sizzling stir-fried noodles, charcoal-grilled halloumi will be paired with spiced lamb kofta, and shish taouk will be shown off on the grill. Live cooking stations will be operating like a tasty reality show — drama will be skipped, but the sauces will be plentiful.
The stations
- Wok & Roll — Proteins, vegetables, and sauces will be selected by guests, then wok-tossed and served over jasmine rice or noodles with a fusion twist. The flipping of things will be admired.
- Grill Station — Marinated shish taouk, lamb kofta, beef kebabs, halloumi with za’atar, and harissa-glazed vegetable skewers will be grilled to smoky perfection. Charred goodness will be guaranteed.
- Cold Seafood Station — Poached prawns, freshly shucked oysters, marinated mussels, smoked salmon, crab legs, and tuna tartare will be chilled and displayed for those who wish to feel fancy.
- Sushi & Sashimi Bar — Over 30 varieties will be showcased: California and Spicy Tuna Rolls, Tempura Prawn Rolls, Vegetarian Maki, Fusion Rolls, and sashimi featuring salmon, tuna, hamachi, and octopus. Chopsticks will be offered, and forks will be forgiven.
- Dessert — Around the World Counter — An indulgent, globe-trotting finale will be presented because every excellent brunch deserves a spectacular sweet ending.
Drinks that understand brunch
A bottomless mimosa bar will be poured, a DIY Bloody Mary station will be arranged so spice levels and garnishes may be customized, and a lemongrass-and-vodka welcome cocktail will be handed over as a tasteful hello. Glasses will be clinked. Smiles will follow.
Vibes: daytime party (but the tasteful kind)
Chill house and tropical tunes will be spun by DJ Brunch Beats, and live interactive cooking will be staged to keep the afternoon lively. The atmosphere will be energetic without being “shouty” — an afternoon where contented nods and full plates will be encouraged.
Bring the kids
A dedicated kids’ corner will be provided and stocked with a mini buffet, a coloring station, a balloon artist, and a cinema area for a post-feast wind-down. Little diners aged 4 and under will dine for free, children aged 5–10 will be charged AED 129, and adults will be offered packages starting at AED 229 (unlimited food + selected soft drinks) or AED 429 (unlimited food + selected soft & alcoholic drinks). The brunch will be held every Saturday from 1 PM to 4 PM on the first floor of Toshi.
Final nibble of truth
The launch date — Saturday, 18 October 2025 — should be marked on calendars (and nap schedules), and Toshi, on the 1st Floor of the Grand Millennium Hotel Dubai, will be the location where weekends are being turned into celebrations of flavor, creativity and family-friendly fun; and whether full foodie mode is being activated or gentle grazing is being preferred, an afternoon that makes Monday feel a little less scary will be provided — so the crew should be gathered, belts should be loosened, and a dessert plate that will be pretended to have been discovered by accident may be “borrowed.”
