“Lovely place with good location. Visited the venue few days ago for the light dinner with a glass of beer. I must admit that the concept and the variety of dishes and drinks are pretty big and nice.! Staff was also friendly and polite. Draft Beer was very good 👍 The only thing which I have a comment on is a size of the portion of Calamari. Kindly request for management and chefs team to improve it. Either price reduce or increase the portion. It’s not worth 70 AED. Rest was all good, thanks. Loved the veal frikadelen 🫶”

“Horrible experience. The breakfast absolutely horrible. We ordered a “simple” egg Benedict and they managed to get it at its worse. The salmon wasn’t fresh, and was actually a piece of salmon shredded - absolutely disgusting. Took them 25 minutes to prepare it and was served cold, not even the eggs was hot. I will never come back. Definitely not worthy for the price charged.”

Choose indoors. If traffic noise bothers you, sit inside; one diner moved indoors because the outdoor area was noisy.
Check availability. Ask what is currently available before settling in, especially during Ramadan, when one review found many menu items unavailable.
Clarify bread. When buying bread, confirm whether it is fully baked, sliced as requested and free of nuts if that matters to you.
Allow time. Build in extra time for food or drinks: reviews mention slow service and a 25-minute wait for eggs Benedict.
Use basement parking. For driving visits, the Pullman hotel basement is a convenient parking option according to a lunch review.
Mind the weather. The garden seating is especially appealing in pleasant weather, so consider sitting outdoors when conditions are comfortable.
Plan the visit
| Mon | 7:30 AM – 2:00 AM |
| Tue | 7:30 AM – 2:00 AM |
| Wed | 7:30 AM – 2:00 AM |

Some visits have involved slow service, including a frappe that still had not arrived after 15 minutes.
Food quality varies sharply: one diner found the salmon sandwich undersized and slightly smelly, while another received cold salmon at breakfast.
One review reports mosquitoes and flies in the outdoor area and suggests pest-control attention.
A review found the salmon dish and calamari portion too small for their prices.
A regular customer reported that bread described as freshly baked was still frozen in the centre at home.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
BreadHouse Bistro & Bakery in Business Bay is a hotel-based bistro and bakery with indoor dining and a spacious terrace. Breakfast is a major draw: the buffet has been praised for its variety and constant replenishment, while the almond croissant, avocado toast and Benedict Royale also receive specific praise. For a more substantial meal, the veal schnitzel is described as exceptionally large, and the bakery’s sourdough, pastries and morning pretzels are recurring favourites.
The setting is one of the stronger reasons to come. Reviews describe a bright, cosy atmosphere, a shaded patio with benches and padded chairs, garden seating, and occasional live music. Smoking and non-smoking areas are mentioned, along with shisha and German-style beer service.
Parking in the Pullman hotel basement is convenient, though traffic noise can make indoor seating preferable. Quality and timing are less consistent. Some diners report slow service, unavailable menu items during Ramadan, small portions, or disappointing salmon dishes.
One regular customer also found bread still frozen in the centre despite being told it was freshly baked. It is worth checking availability and clarifying bread details before ordering. Pricing can feel high, although a reported 80 AED lunch menu and 99 AED breakfast promotion were viewed favourably.
