“The highlight, however, was the grilled chicken. It was cooked to perfection, boasting a golden, crispy exterior while remaining succulently tender inside. The chicken was seasoned masterfully, allowing the natural flavors to shine through, complemented by a subtle smokiness from the grilling process. This dish was a testament to the chef’s skill in elevating simple ingredients to a gourmet level.”

“During my recent visit to ‘Un Dimanche à Paris’, I had the pleasure of indulging in a culinary experience that truly captivated my senses. Starting with the tomato soup, it was a delightful beginning, offering a rich and robust flavor that was both comforting and invigorating. The soup’s depth of flavor hinted at a careful selection of fresh tomatoes and herbs, expertly blended to create a perfect balance.”

Allow Time. Allow extra time for breakfast: one quiet visit still took 30 minutes, so avoid a tight schedule.
Check Terrace. Ask whether the terrace or garden-side area is open before settling in, as the green indoor terrace has been closed.
Try Happy Hour. Check the daily happy-hour offer before ordering; one reviewer reported 20% off the bill.
Order Pastries. For a pastry stop, consider the pistachio au chocolat croissant, which a reviewer said was loaded with pistachio.
Mind Volume. If you prefer quiet conversation, ask about the music level or choose a calmer time, since brunch music was considered loud.
Plan the visit
Breakfast took 30 minutes for one diner even though the restaurant was not crowded.
Some breakfast dishes disappointed reviewers, including canned crab, packet hollandaise and a dry Croque Madame.
One breakfast visit found the croissants excessively buttery and heavy, with the coffee described as merely okay.
When the green indoor terrace was closed, one reviewer found the remaining salon austere, grey and unlike a Parisian café.
Music was too loud for one brunch guest, while another criticised loud Filipino love songs during a meal.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Un Dimanche à Paris is a French café-restaurant in Dubai Hills Mall where breakfast, pastries and desserts are the main reasons to stop. Reviewers mention the restaurant-named Un Dimanche special, eggs Benedict, poached eggs and Crab Eggs Benedict, while the pastry counter gets attention for chocolate croissants and a pistachio au chocolat croissant. For something sweet, the chocolate soufflé, tiramisu, crème brûlée and chocolate millefeuille are among the named favourites.
The setting is a big part of the experience. The decor is often described as chic and elegant, with multiple seating areas, mall views and an outdoor or garden-side option. Coffee also performs well in reviews: the latte, flat white, cappuccino and Spanish Latte all receive positive mentions.
Families and groups have found the breakfast setting comfortable, and portions were described as generous by one diner. There are a few reasons to manage expectations. Breakfast service has taken 30 minutes even when the restaurant was not busy, and some guests found particular dishes dry, overly buttery or let down by packet hollandaise and canned crab.
Music can also be loud. Check whether the terrace is open, and ask about the reported daily 20% happy-hour discount before ordering.
