Dubai’s vibrant culinary landscape is welcoming a new weekend experience as ZEA introduces MESTIZOS, an innovative Sunday brunch concept created for guests seeking a perfect blend of exceptional cuisine, handcrafted beverages, entertainment and a lively social atmosphere. Designed to transform a traditional afternoon meal into a complete lifestyle experience, MESTIZOS combines diverse global influences with ZEA’s signature hospitality.

Launching on Sunday, 30 August 2026, the new brunch will take place every Sunday from 3 PM to 7 PM, inviting guests to enjoy a relaxed afternoon of sharing dishes, creative drinks and immersive entertainment. The experience reflects Dubai’s multicultural dining identity by bringing together the rich flavours of the Mediterranean, the energy of Latin American cuisine and subtle Middle Eastern touches.

The concept takes inspiration from the meaning behind the word MESTIZOS, which represents cultural blending and the meeting of different traditions. Through this idea, ZEA celebrates the diversity of Dubai by creating a dining experience where flavours, cultures and entertainment come together in one memorable setting.

A Fusion Of Cultures Presented Through A Creative Culinary Experience

MESTIZOS is built around the idea that food has the power to connect people and cultures. Rather than following a single culinary direction, the brunch brings together different influences to create a menu that feels both familiar and exciting.

Developed by Chef Sundeep Taucoory, the menu focuses on sharing-style dining, encouraging guests to gather around the table and enjoy a relaxed, interactive meal. Each creation combines premium ingredients with bold flavours, reflecting the spirit of Mediterranean hospitality while introducing the vibrant character of Latin cuisine.

The brunch begins with an impressive selection of starters designed to awaken the palate. Guests can enjoy ZEA Guacamole, a fresh and flavourful creation, along with Tuna & Avocado Tartar, Crispy Kale Quinoa Pear Salad and Wagyu Beef Carpaccio.

These opening dishes highlight a balance of textures and flavours, combining freshness, creativity and international culinary influences.

For the main course, guests can explore a variety of signature dishes including Arroz con Camarones, a seafood rice dish inspired by Latin flavours, alongside Peruvian-style Baby Chicken and the indulgent Truffle & Parmesan Fries.

The dining journey concludes with a specially curated dessert platter featuring chocolate ganache, vanilla ice cream, lemon and yuzu sorbet, and seasonal fruits, offering a refreshing and satisfying finale to the brunch experience.

Curated Beverage Packages Designed For Every Sunday Celebration

Alongside its food offerings, MESTIZOS places strong emphasis on its beverage programme, allowing guests to customise their experience according to their preferred style of celebration.

ZEA has introduced five different brunch packages, ranging from relaxed soft beverage options to premium selections featuring cocktails and Champagne.

The Bronze package, priced at AED 265, provides guests with soft beverages, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a casual afternoon gathering.

The Silver package at AED 320 includes soft beverages and house beverages, while the Gold package at AED 385 adds grape selections for guests seeking a more elevated brunch experience.

For those celebrating special occasions or looking for a premium experience, the Platinum package at AED 450 includes soft beverages, house beverages, grape, premium cocktails and signature cocktail creations.

The most exclusive option, the Bubbles package priced at AED 650, offers an all-inclusive experience featuring Champagne, creating a luxurious choice for guests who want to enjoy a complete Sunday celebration.

With multiple options available, MESTIZOS allows visitors to select a package that matches their preferences, whether they are enjoying a casual weekend gathering, a birthday celebration or a special occasion with friends.

A Sunday Afternoon That Transforms Into A Night Of Entertainment

More than a brunch, MESTIZOS has been designed as a full entertainment experience that evolves throughout the afternoon. As guests move from dining into celebration, the atmosphere becomes increasingly energetic with live performances and music.

Resident DJs will create the soundtrack for the afternoon, supported by live percussion, Latin dancers and interactive entertainment. The music programme will feature a dynamic mix of Latin House, Afro House, Oriental House, Arabic remixes and contemporary Latin tracks, reflecting Dubai’s international character.

The celebration does not end when brunch finishes. From 7 PM until midnight, ZEA continues the experience with the MESTIZOS after-party and Happy Hour, allowing guests to extend their Sunday evening with additional entertainment, drinks and music.

This seamless transition from afternoon dining to night-time celebration creates a unique experience for guests looking to enjoy more than a traditional brunch.

A New Weekend Destination In Dubai’s DIFC Dining Scene

Located in the heart of Dubai’s dynamic dining environment, MESTIZOS offers a fresh approach to Sunday brunch culture. By combining global flavours, creative beverages and entertainment, ZEA aims to create a gathering place where guests can enjoy memorable moments from afternoon to midnight.

Whether visitors are searching for a stylish weekend outing, a social gathering with friends or a unique celebration experience, MESTIZOS delivers a distinctive Sunday escape shaped by flavour, culture and entertainment.
