THE TERRACE ON THE CORNICHE, THE ST. REGIS ABU DHABI

Dining experience: Friday brunch

What’s it like? To say that The Terrace on the Corniche is The St. Regis Abu Dhabi’s all-day dining restaurant, you certainly wouldn’t think that upon arriving for the Friday brunch offering at this luxurious resort. The brunch experience begins in the hotel’s self-titled bar at 12:30pm, where large leather arm chairs and a mahogany bar area add to the venue’s classy, old-fashioned library feel. Here, we’re welcomed with a 30-minute drinks reception, where guests are encouraged to sit-back, relax and socialise with other diners ahead of the main event at 1pm. I’m a huge fan of this laid-back introduction to the afternoon, as it slows down the furore that is normally involved in getting to brunch on time and being in your seats precisely when the clock strikes the hour, to ensure you’re not missing out on any of the action.
