The lights drop, the DJ lifts the tempo, and the terrace at CE LA VI turns from a brunch into something closer to a party with the Burj Khalifa glowing behind it. That moment — when a daytime format slides into the evening — is the whole appeal of Dubai's night brunch.
Late-night and evening brunches are the city's answer to people who don't want to start a party at lunchtime. This guide ranks the best late night brunch in Dubai for 2026: eight venues running twilight or evening sittings where the food still flows but the energy is built for the night. We've stayed to the end of all eight. Each lists what to order, the price, and when to actually arrive.
The Best Late-Night & Evening Brunches in Dubai, Ranked
Ranked by our own visits across 2024–26 — we pay for our own meals and book as ordinary guests. Prices are per person unless noted and were current at the time of writing; confirm when you book.
CE LA VI
CE LA VI — the rooftop terrace lit up at night with Burj Khalifa views
CE LA VI's evening brunch is the marquee night-brunch in Dubai — a 54th-floor rooftop with the Burj Khalifa lit up beside you and a DJ turning dinner into a party. The pan-Asian sharing plates hold up, but the after-dark terrace and the Dubai Fountain show below are the reason to come. Book an outdoor edge table.
COYA Dubai
COYA Dubai — the Latin dining room and pisco bar after dark
COYA's later sittings are where the Latin-Peruvian energy peaks — pisco sours flowing, the room moving, and a sharing menu that keeps arriving. It's a party that still feeds you properly. For the night version, sit in the main room rather than the quieter bar so you're inside the buzz.
Amazónico Dubai
Amazónico Dubai — the Jungle Lounge bar after dark
Amazónico's appeal late is the Jungle Lounge — the upstairs bar that shifts from cocktails to a live-DJ floor as the night goes on, above a dining room that's already glamorous. Eat in the main room, then move upstairs. The picanha from the robata is the dish to anchor the meal before the night kicks off.
Drift Beach Dubai
Drift Beach Dubai — the beach club at golden hour
Drift's later, golden-hour sessions are the elegant twilight option — a Riviera-style beach club that's calmer than the Palm party scene but still builds energy as the sun drops. The Mediterranean sharing food is genuinely good. A front-row daybed at sunset is the move if the budget allows.
Cove Beach Bluewaters
Cove Beach Bluewaters — the beach club lit up in the evening
Cove Beach runs a strong evening session on Bluewaters — a beach club that turns up the music after dark with Ain Dubai lit behind it. The Mediterranean menu is reliable and the vibe is more relaxed-party than full nightclub. Book a daybed near the DJ if you want to be in the thick of it.
Beach by FIVE
Beach by FIVE — the beach party after sundown
FIVE Palm is Dubai's party hotel, and Beach by FIVE's later sessions live up to it — the brunch-into-night format with a beach, a pool, and a crowd that's there to go out. The Mediterranean food is solid but secondary to the scene. Come for the energy; book a beach bed and stay late.
Mimi Kakushi
Mimi Kakushi — the 1920s dining room in the evening with live jazz
Mimi Kakushi's evening service has a late-brunch energy of its own — the 1920s Osaka room, live music, and a glamorous JBR crowd that lingers. It's the grown-up alternative to a beach-club night: dinner-quality Japanese food in a room built for staying out. A back banquette keeps you in the buzz without the noise of the bar.
STK Dubai
STK Dubai — the lounge-style steakhouse with DJ booth
STK's whole concept is steakhouse-meets-nightclub, which makes its later brunch sessions a natural fit — a resident DJ, a dark lounge room, and properly good steak. It's the night-brunch for people who want red meat and a beat in the same place. Sit near the DJ booth for the full effect.
How Late-Night Brunch Works in Dubai
The format varies: some venues run a genuine evening brunch (roughly 8pm onward), others a twilight session that picks up where the afternoon party left off. Either way, arrive at the start time rather than fashionably late — the food packages have a window, and you want to eat before the floor turns. House and premium beverage packages dominate here, so the soft option is less common; ask in advance if it matters. And book Thursday or Friday for the biggest energy; weeknight evening brunches are quieter and easier to get into.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a late-night brunch in Dubai?
It's an evening or twilight brunch — a brunch-style food-and-drinks package that runs into the night rather than at midday. CE LA VI and COYA run the best-known versions, with the energy of a party and the format of a brunch.
How much does a late-night brunch in Dubai cost?

What time do night brunches start in Dubai?
Most evening sittings begin around 8pm; twilight sessions can start mid-afternoon and run on. Arrive at the start time so you eat before the floor turns into a dance party.
Which late-night brunch has the best view?
CE LA VI on the 54th floor of Address Sky View — the Burj Khalifa is right in front of you, and it's at its best after dark when the fountain show runs below.
