The Bottom Line

Brasserie on 1 is a modern European restaurant and bar in Business Bay, inside the Holiday Inn. It works for relaxed lunches and dinners, but the reviews particularly point to its event dining: Iftar buffets, Saturday brunches and seasonal family occasions. The menu has enough range for mixed groups, while steak frites, baked Camembert and cheesecake are among the dishes diners call out.

The Iftar buffet is the standout for variety. One review counted 22 salads and two types of Ouzi, while other diners mentioned Fish Harra, Chicken Tagine, Kunafa rolls and Umm Ali. Buffet areas can also be neatly separated, with salads, desserts, grills and mains in their own sections.

Reported Iftar prices were 125 AED per person in 2025 and 150 AED for a buy-one-get-one offer in 2024, so check the current package before going. Families have a clear reason to look at the brunch calendar: reviews mention live entertainment, interactive games, crafts and a magic show for children. The venue has a terrace with a view, valet parking and a quieter atmosphere that one reviewer preferred for conversation and business meetings.

One caution is that the happy-hour food menu was described as limited unless you are mainly interested in gin. Buffet dishes may also remain fixed rather than being changed during service.
