For good food, Traiteur at the Park Hyatt is hard to beat.
Make sure you book a table outside.

If so, need to choose location carefully!

I can second Traiteur - great location and fantastic food (if a little pricey).

Would it be racist of me to suggest they are brits..totally disgusting behavior..and it will be the same people complaining about how bad UAE nationals are at everything..
Racist no, stereotyping, yes. Positive they are Brits and are doing very well to live up to the sterotype. nb I am a Brit and like a brunch but agree it is pretty disgusting behaviour.
Will leave the Emirati side of things alone

No, none of us smoke....
What's strange about it?
Decor is really weird, half of it looks like it should be in the film Tron.What's strange about it?

Smokers would have to go all the way down and out the front of the hotel for a cig, a real ballache!
They have some very interesting cocktails, iirc I had one with blue cheese in it that was served in a red pepper!
A few points.
Trateur isn't a bad brunch but it's nowhere near the best for the money IMHO, the food stations are crammed in too close together and the actual range of food is pretty small albeit tasty.
Far and away the bset of all the brunches I've been to, and the one I take all of my visitors to is the Westin brunch... the sheer variety of food to sample cannot be beaten and it's one of the few locations where you actually leave feeling like you've had value for money.
If you're taking them to the skyview bar at the Burj then remember it's a 280aed min spend per head and you must have a booking to be allowed onto the island, men also need a jacket.... if you're doing either afternoon or high tea then you might get away without the minimum spend (I didn't initially but now I do, not sure if that's a policy change or by virtue of being a regular!!) but you will need to get them to book a table for you up there as well.
I did manage once to get away with booking it whilst eating afternoon tea, but last weekend we were able to go up to show my guests the bar but were not able to have a drink in the same situation.
