Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6
1

Go early. Breakfast may be calmer and faster earlier in the day; one visitor said going for breakfast was the best move because it was calm and quick.

2

Check doneness. If ordering steak, repeat your preferred doneness when the order is taken, after one medium request arrived well done.

The Bottom Line

Cafe Gray Brasserie is a British-leaning restaurant in Dubai Hills Estate, inside Dubai Hills Mall, where breakfast, coffee and traditional comfort food are the main draw. The Full English Breakfast, English breakfast with brown sauce, shakshuka and French toast all receive specific praise. It is also a destination for Royal Roast, pies and afternoon tea served throughout the day.

The setting is cosy and carefully decorated, with greenery, artwork, tucked-away seating and a red phone booth that younger visitors enjoy. Several reviews describe it as calm for breakfast, while others like it for coffee, dessert, family meals or a casual business lunch. The service is often warm and attentive, though the experience is not perfectly consistent: one visit involved extremely slow service, and another reviewer felt a table request was handled poorly.

Portions can be generous, especially the roast, which one customer said could feed two. A reported Business Lunch price was 80 AED per person. If you use Entertainer, clarify the terms and final bill first.

Steak diners should confirm doneness, and anyone sensitive to noise may prefer breakfast, since music was too loud for conversation on one visit.
