GET THE WEEKEND STARTED WITH THIS GOURMET BREAKFAST

Sfumato located in Opus Tower by Zaha Hadid is one of the chicest places to dine in Dubai.

Sfumato Gastro Atelier is the ultimate all-day dining destination in Dubai featuring bold, elegant gastronomy. The restaurant is located in the Opus Tower designed by Zaha Hadid, the world-famous architect behind some of the world’s most iconic building concepts. While you’ve likely seen the interiors on Instagram, it’s a particularly lovely spot in the morning when the light streams in.

Inspired by her fearless vision, the Sfumato Michelin-recognized chef Alena Solodovichenko seeks to revolutionize urban dining. She dares to experiment confidently in a male-dominated world, challenging stereotypes and pioneering her own unique style to produce an unforgettable experience in an internationally-renowned setting. Alena Solodovichenko reproduces her family recipes with produce from local farms featuring delicate and intimate flavors, showing that vegetables and roots can evolve into sophisticated ingredients ready to play the main role in any dish.

Add a little gourmet brilliance to your weekend morning routine at Sfumato with breakfast to kickoff the day. Pairing gastronomy with a sophisticated ambience, Sfumato presents delicate flavours using local, homegrown ingredients. From warm and filling dishes to decadent sweet options, there are a variety of reimagined breakfast classics to choose from.

If you are in the mood for a hearty meal then do try the signature Sfumato Breakfast which includes 2 eggs, grilled striploin, Josper tomato, wild mushrooms, baby potatoes and sourdough toast. For a dish that feels like a warm hug in the morning, try the Barley Porridge with poached egg, asparagus and gruyere cheese. Some of the other unmissable breakfast classics include the Eggs Benedict, Shakshuka, Granola with Orange infused Labneh, Avocado on Sourdough, Cottage Crepes and many more.

We chose the Omelette with Caviar Bearnaise and it was simply glorious! The luscious Eggs Benedict served on sweet potato gateau, cured salmon, Josper asparagus and topped with miso béarnaise are also a must-try.

The Almond Croissant is indulgent but worth every bite-not overly sweet it pairs perfectly with a strong cup of coffee. We ended our meal with the highly recommended French Toast made with overnight milk-soaked brioche and topped with lavender cream, blueberry compote and fresh mix berries. This one is really up there among the very best in Dubai.

Sfumato offers refined dining in the perfect setting for a relaxed weekend breakfast with loved ones.
