The view from The Restaurant – Address Downtown

Balcony of The Restaurant – Address Downtown

The moment you step in, you know you are inside a five star. From the floors to the tables and their cutleries everything makes an impression. I was quite impressed with their service. The gentlemen in their blazers at the door were impressive for their high standards of English etiquette and sets the right tone for their Britannia Brunch while they greet you into their restaurant. Sitting in their balcony you have undisturbed views of Burj Khalifa and with current temperature in hand sitting outside is not a bad idea.

Mocktails in the making at the Juice Bar

For drinks they had a jug of juice bar for all tables. They would pour it for you and the remaining jug would be left on your table. The juice felt more like a flavored water. You could also ask them to make you any random mocktail, one of them we tried was the Bloody Mary Mocktail which was a heavy dose of tomato juice which might not be the one if you are looking for a sweet one.

My plate of Hot Starters at Britannia Brunch

The Hot buffet was a pleasure. They had the best of English hot starters. Kids loved them, thanks to their succulent mini beef burgers and sausages. Lamb chops were a delight. I thought their chicken lollipops could have been better. Different meat skewers were also a highlight at the hot buffet counter.

King Crab Leg + Green Mussels

Cold seafood – Oysters + Omani Lobster + Poached Prawns
King Crab Leg + Green Mussels + Fish Ceviche

The Raw bar had an interesting collection of seafood items. The Oysters were really fresh and there were little plates where you could find ceviches . To be honest there were plenty of selection and I couldn’t try all of it. But I must admit the sushis were fantastic along with it’s accompaniments. You also could find different flavors of cold cut beef.

Roast of the Day(Lamb) served with Yorkshire pudding

Fisherman’s Pie(salmon inside the puff pastry)

Let’s not forget the mains! The real star of the show. There was no surprise to see the Yorkshire pudding in a British Brunch. The roast for the day was a lovely piece of lamb. We were even more thrilled with the stuffed salmon fishermen pie. Both the puff and the salmon were just fantastic, loved every Inch of this one. The roast chicken was soft and well marinated.

Live Station

Pancakes + Waffles + Crêpes +
French Toast

Let’s not forget the LIVE station. This can be easily missed in the middle of the buffet. The French toast was just beautiful. It was lovely to see the brioche bread getting made in the hot pan just in front of my eyes. It does take a while to make them, so better order them early.

Cherry on the Cake | Citrus Story | Eton Mess
Ice Cream Bowl | Seasonal Fruit Crumble + Custard

Desserts at The Britannia Brunch from the dessert buffet station

They have a dessert buffet station where they had this amazing rich chocolate cake you must try. But for the brunch they do have special desserts which they bring to your tables as well, from which the lemon meringue tart was just luscious. The Eton mess was just a pack of bundled ice cream more than anything else. I think they could have a better formula for their Eton mess. The Apple crumble was satisfactory.
