Easter in Dubai 2026 brings dining delights, artisan chocolates and hotel deals
Limited-time seasonal experiences for residents and visitors alike
DUBAI – Dubai is set to mark Easter 2026 with a range of curated dining, gifting and staycation experiences designed to appeal to families, residents and visitors alike.
From value-led brunches to handcrafted confectionery and flexible hotel packages, the city’s hospitality sector is rolling out seasonal offerings that blend festive touches with accessible pricing.
Across venues, the focus remains on combining culinary experiences with family-friendly activities, alongside limited-edition products and accommodation deals that extend beyond the holiday weekend. With experiences running through early April and, in some cases, into the summer months, the line-up reflects Dubai’s broader approach to seasonal celebrations.
Here are three Easter experiences taking place across the city this year:
Publiq European Bistro
A relaxed Easter brunch is set to take place at Publiq European Bistro, located within Four Points by Sheraton, on 5 April 2026. Running from 12pm to 4pm, the experience is priced at Dh99 per person, with an option to upgrade to Dh149 for free-flow beverages.
The offering includes a curated two-course set menu followed by a dessert platter for each guest. Diners begin with a cheese plate paired with dates chutney, before choosing from a selection of starters such as butternut squash soup, bresaola salad or hand-cut beef tartare.
For mains, guests can select from roasted half baby chicken served with mushroom sauce, Norwegian salmon complemented by dill butter sauce, or torcetti pasta prepared with homemade basil pesto. The experience concludes with a dessert platter featuring miniature éclairs, nutty tarts and handcrafted Easter chocolates.
The brunch also incorporates family-oriented entertainment, including an Easter Bunny appearance and an egg hunt designed for children. The combination of a structured set menu and festive activities positions the brunch as an accessible option for families seeking a seasonal dining experience.
The event is scheduled for one day only. Bookings and enquiries can be made by calling +971 56 414 2213.
Bijou Patisserie
Seasonal confectionery takes centre stage at Bijou Patisserie, where limited-edition chocolate Easter eggs return for a short period from 23 March to 5 April 2026. The oversized creations are handcrafted under the direction of Executive Pastry Chef Jean-François Le Luherne and draw inspiration from Fabergé-style designs.
Each egg, standing at approximately 25cm tall and weighing 1.5kg, is priced at Dh280. The design incorporates pastel shades of blue, pink and green, offering a visual element tailored for gifting or display during Easter gatherings.
The interior features layered textures, combining crunchy hazelnut and speculoos spread with a selection of artisanal chocolate truffles. Flavours include tonka, exotic and salted caramel, creating a mix intended to cater to varied preferences.
Available exclusively at the ground floor of Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk, the eggs are offered on a pre-order basis, requiring a minimum of 24 hours’ notice along with full pre-payment. The limited-time nature of the offering aligns with the patisserie’s seasonal approach, with production tied specifically to the Easter period.
The return of these handcrafted items reflects ongoing demand for premium confectionery during festive occasions, particularly as part of gifting traditions in the city.
