“I ordered the Avocado on Sourdough (AED 49) - Poached eggs, smashed avocado, and a garden salad. I have to say that for the price I paid, I was slightly disappointed by the portion. I got a tiny toast, which was overloaded with other toppings, including the egg. It would have helped if there were two toasts instead of one. But luckily, it didn't fail in taste, and I enjoyed it.”

Try French toast. If choosing between breakfast options, consider the French toast: one review found it better than the set meal.
Share Nasi Goreng. The Nasi Goreng was generously portioned, so it may work well as a shared order, especially with its peanut sauce.
Choose seating. For a calmer visit, ask for outdoor seating; avoid tables near the coffee machine if noise bothers you.
Check portions. Before ordering breakfast, ask about portion size: a customer found the AED 49 avocado toast too small for the price.
Plan the visit
One salmon order arrived hot outside but cold inside, despite being requested medium-rare.
Some breakfast portions have felt undersized, including one avocado toast served as a single small slice.
One breakfast visit found little variety beyond poached-egg dishes and food that was only average.
Reviews describe some English Breakfast plates as bland, with one customer also finding the tea bitter.
Seats near the kitchen counter and coffee machine may be noisy, which can undermine the otherwise relaxed atmosphere.
The Bottom Line
More Cafe is a useful Mall of the Emirates stop in Al Barsha when you want breakfast, coffee or a proper sit-down meal rather than a food-court table. The menu is broad, but the clearest review-backed draws are the Big English Breakfast, French toast, cappuccino and Nasi Goreng. The latter was described as flavourful and generous enough for two people.
Coffee is one of the safer bets. Customers have called the cappuccino rich and bold, and one found the Spanish latte notably well balanced rather than too sweet. For something lighter, salads and Ali’s lentil soup also receive positive mentions.
Dessert is worth leaving room for: the carrot cake and San Sebastian cheesecake are repeatedly treated as standout choices. The setting is cosy and attractive for a mall restaurant, with outdoor seating described as peaceful, clean and comfortable. It can also suit families; one visit involved accommodating a one-year-old’s dietary needs with an off-menu item.
Service is often warm and attentive, though experiences are not perfectly consistent. There are a few reasons to manage expectations. Breakfast portions can feel small, some dishes have been called bland, and a salmon order arrived cold inside.
Seats by the coffee machine may be noisy, so ask for a quieter or outdoor table if that matters.
