DESEO’s new brunch brings the best of Latin America

SPONSORED: Think Saturday, think Tulum.

As we continue to acquaint with the idea of brunching on a Saturday, one new offering feels like a no-brainer: Fiesta DESEO Brunch. Because if the lively vibes, tropical décor and Latin American flavours of DESEO at ME Dubai weren’t enough to entice you, its steal of a brunch deal will. Taking place every Saturday from 1pm to 4 pm, it’s priced AED 295 for the Soft Beverages package, AED 395 for the House Beverages package, and AED 440 for the Sparkling package, which means a momentary escape to Tulum – or an urban jungle at least – awaits every budget.

As for what’s on the brunch menu? Crowd-pleasers. And lots of them. Served straight to the table are the likes of signature appetiser Maiz Maiz (a savoury corn dish rich in flavour and texture), an impressive array of Peruvian Ceviches (made from fresh, locally sourced fish accented with zingy flavours), and the still-irresistible Anticuchos (DESEO’s contemporary take on a traditional grilled dish). Resident Chef James Knight-Pacheco crafts dishes inspired by his Venezuelan heritage, making authenticity the common ingredient.

Over in the mains, you can choose from options like Wagyu Picanha, Wagyu Rib-Eye, Red Snapper, and Chilean Seabass before loosening your belt and tucking into the unapologetically modern Tres Leches (or Pina Colada Ice Cream, should your Instagram feed be feeling a little… lacklustre). The three-hour feast is complemented by creative cocktails and live, punchy beats to keep brunch-goers both satiated and entertained on DESEO’s lavish terrace that’s perpetually teeming with life.

DESEO is punctuated with personality and charm throughout its intimate lounge and dining space, stimulating a tropical and celebratory vibe that calls to the fiery fiestas of the Latin American continent. The restaurant space is ornamented with comfortably impressive lounge sofas, beautifully plush carpets in Tulum-esque patterns, and a sea of warm conical overhead lamps that beautifully complement the bursts of foliage on the hotel’s lush green terrace.

After all, Saturdays call for a palpable sense of celebration – just because.
