The city’s most awaited and electric brunch is making its return. Mark your calendars for Saturday,25th, October from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM.SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi is reigniting the party for its second Rio Brunch in October, a move made possible because the event consistently sells out and generates extensive waitlists. This signature experience is a dazzling fusion of music, dance, and flavour, transporting every guest straight to Brazil’s famed Carnaval through pulsating samba beats, dynamic live performances, and SUSHISAMBA’s unique blend of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian cuisine.
The brunch will feature a spectacular food display and table service for main courses, ensuring a seamless flow of indulgence. Starters include freshly made Guacamole with crispy tortillas, Salmon Tiradito with orange ponzu and crispy quinoa, sashimi and sushi maki from the live station. The Robata Anticucho live station will take centre stage, serving up Chilean seabass anticuchos, Eggplant with white miso and crispy rice, Chicken with aji mirasol and crispy quinoa and Angus Beef Tenderloin with aji panca. For the main course, highlights include Australian Angus Tenderloin with foie gras, miso-marinated black cod, and Arroz Chaufa with organic black rice, complemented by crispy cassava and char-grilled broccolini. The feast ends on a sweet note with decadent Chef’s Selection Trio of Desserts, perfectly paired with a selection of vibrant cocktails like the Samba Negroni, SAMBA Caipirinha, and Samba Margarita.
With a selection of packages to suit every preference, guests can either opt for the non-alcoholic package priced at AED 495 per person, the house beverage package at AED 595, or to truly celebrate, the Premium Champagne package at AED 695. Each package promises an extraordinary celebration filled with exceptional cuisine, vibrant entertainment, and the true spirit of Carnival.
The Rio Brunch series will continue into November as a bi-monthly affair, delivering SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi’s signature blend of glamour, rhythm, and culinary artistry on the first and last Saturday of the month: Saturday 1st November and Saturday, 29th November. Reservations are essential, as these brunches sell out weeks in advance.
In response to high demand and the venue’s renowned reputation, SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi has extended its operating hours to include weekend lunch service Friday through Sunday (on non-Brunch days). Guests can now enjoy the signature cuisine and breathtaking views across the entire weekend.
