What to Eat at Ultra Brasserie How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Ultra Brasserie, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try breakfast. For a first visit, consider the avocado toast or fresh orange juice; both were specifically praised in a breakfast review.
Use the bridge. If you are coming from Marina Mall, use the direct ground-floor bridge connection to reach the restaurant.
Arrive early. Early breakfast is an option: one review says the restaurant starts work at 7 am and overlooks the marina.
Specify dressing. If you want dressing on the side, confirm the request clearly; one customer asked and received it differently.
Expect strong coffee. Tea drinkers may want to flag their preference, as one review found the coffee very strong.
Check outdoor seating. Inspect the terrace and chairs before settling outside, since a review raised cleanliness concerns there.

The Bottom Line
Ultra Brasserie is a compact, casual restaurant in Dubai Marina that suits breakfast, a quick lunch or coffee near Marina Mall and Marina Plaza. The food focus is fresh and healthy, with popular choices including avocado toast, smashed avocado, eggs Benedict, salads and fresh juices. Marina-facing seating gives breakfast an extra lift.
The menu is broader than its healthy-breakfast reputation suggests: reviews mention pasta, rice dishes, mains, soup and drinks, while a beef salad was praised for both flavour and portion size. The cafe is small and cozy, and its patio has hosted events such as yoga classes, with staff making an effort not to disturb gatherings. Service is one of the most consistent strengths, though experiences vary.
Many customers describe the team as warm, attentive and accommodating; others found staff distant or inattentive. Coffee feedback is similarly mixed: several reviews like it, but one reported an overfrothed cappuccino served in a takeaway cup and a dirty espresso machine. The outdoor terrace and chairs were also criticised in that review.
For access, the restaurant connects to Marina Mall via a ground-floor bridge, and one review notes a 7 am opening. Prices are not uniformly viewed: one customer reported a good lunch for 40 AED, while others considered some items expensive.
