Savour Your Saturdays at Yas Hotel
Every Saturday afternoon at Origins, the city’s most family-friendly Saturday brunch is on. The Yas Hotel Abu Dhabi is well known for its legendary Friday brunches and has extended its brunch offering to Saturdays. Though the brunch caters for every member of the family, kids are the guests of honour.
Kids are entertained with their very own kid-friendly menu, featuring mac ‘n’ cheese and other kid faves, as well as a tantalizing dessert and candy bar “candy floss trolley” ice cream station, and popcorn machine. A play zone allows parents to let their hair down and have fun with friends. There’s also cookie decorating, a Playstation zone, and bouncy castle to keep them busy.
Wrap up the weekend with complimentary after-brunch pool access to Latitude, Yas Hotel’s family rooftop pool with views across Yas Marina Circuit.
