Dubai’s Newest Restaurant Hit Brings A Retro-Med Vibe to Saturdays and Sundays
Weekends at Basko, ‘the place to see’ and ‘to be seen’. With its location on the ground floor of the beautiful Opus by Zaha Hadid, the Basko brunch experience offers gorgeous Downtown views, chic retro interiors, and a lovingly curated wine & cocktail list with a world-class menu from the legendary Youseff Akiki.
The Basko brunch affair – starting at AED 390 per person – runs from 12 pm to 4 pm every Saturday and Sunday at the Opus. The sophisticated and vibrant venue expresses Mediterranean flavours and classic brunch dishes in a light and satisfying way.
At brunch, the seamless service style brings your choice of starters and mains from the kitchen with an upbeat flair. For starters, choose from an array of brunch classics including the timeless Salmon Avocado with Poached Eggs. For those looking to start light, the Shrimp Carpaccio will be a hit too. When it comes to the mains, the selection of classic Mediterranean twists are freshly balanced, but the wonderfully creamy Saffron Cecina Spaghetti is a must-try. Meat seekers can try the succulent Braised Beef Cheeks, which set the standard. A choice of sides are available to compliment all of the modern-classic main options.
While revelers enjoy a Basko Bloody Maria, Spritz or well-balanced wine options, The lively Dj amplifies the brunch to keep the tempo topped up with warm and funky tones. For a treat, the oyster bar feature on the terrace can complement the crisp white or bubbles in hand.
The delightful Lemon Tarte, Rose Cookie and Basko Cake desserts from the renowned chef closes the epicurean experience at Basko Brunch, but make sure to leave room for dancing and maybe one more glass of rose. Basko is carving a reputation on the scene as an instagrammable hotspot thanks to its creative dishes, its beautiful people, and the achingly stylish interiors. Weekends at Basko now offer a great way to experience the Mediterranean Retro experience.
