For one sun-drenched afternoon this June, Eugène Eugène invites Dubai diners to slip into the spirit of the French Riviera, without ever leaving the city. Taking place on Sunday, June 15th, the much-loved greenhouse restaurant at Kempinski Hotel, Mall of the Emirates, will transform into a Provençal escape with a vibrant brunch inspired by southern France’s most cherished dishes.
Inside the light-filled, foliage-draped space, guests will be welcomed with the sound of live French music and the convivial atmosphere of a Mediterranean summer gathering. The buffet offers a generous spread – a celebration of regional classics from Salade Niçoise, sea bream carpaccio, and tomato mustard tart, to richly layered pissaladière, Toulouse sausage, ratatouille, and the signature bouillabaisse. For dessert, expect summery indulgences with a French touch, each one crafted to bring a sweet close to the coastal journey.
With dedicated children’s activities ensuring little ones are entertained, the event is crafted for leisurely, lingering afternoons filled with laughter, flavour, and good company. Whether you’re a longtime lover of Riviera fare or simply seeking a change of scenery, this one-day-only brunch captures the relaxed glamour and charm of a southern French holiday – no passport required.
A key part of the Eugène Eugène experience lies in its setting — a greenhouse-style restaurant suffused with natural light, cascading foliage, and the easy elegance of rustic Provençal design. For this special occasion, the venue will channel the sunlit terraces and coastal bistros of Nice or Saint-Tropez, offering a setting that’s as transportive as the cuisine itself. With breezy interiors and lush greenery setting the stage, guests can sit back and let the atmosphere evoke memories of French summers gone by, or perhaps inspire new ones.
Beyond the abundant buffet, the brunch promises an immersion into French culture through ambiance and service. Thoughtfully curated live music will feature classic French chansons, creating a melodic backdrop to the afternoon, while attentive staff ensure each guest’s glass is filled and each plate arrives with ease. From the pacing of the courses to the warmth of the welcome, everything is designed to reflect the laid-back yet refined spirit of French coastal living.
This Riviera-inspired brunch is more than a meal — it’s a fleeting escape. Whether it’s a long-awaited get-together with friends or a family celebration before the heat of summer sets in, June 15th at Eugène Eugène offers an experience to savour. With only one day to enjoy this culinary homage, guests are encouraged to reserve early and embrace the spirit of the Côte d’Azur, brought to life in the heart of Dubai.
