Is hotel breakfast in UAE a buffet or menu-based?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 46 days ago
TL;DR
Some UAE hotels serve breakfast from a menu rather than a buffet: ordered dishes are brought to the table, followed by a trolley with additional snacks and appetizers. Menus may only be in English or Arabic — Google Translate works well.

In the hotel's club lounge, breakfast is served individually: a personal chef is assigned to the table and cooks any dish the guest wants.

The hotel's Italian restaurant also serves a menu-based breakfast. There is at least one additional dining venue in the hotel besides the main restaurant.

Menu-based breakfast may seem less convenient than a buffet at first, but the table is nicely set and additional dishes and snacks are brought around on a trolley — a kind of mini rolling buffet. Overall a pleasant experience. Menus are not available in Russian, but Google Translate handles it well.
