Wall Street, the heartbeat of America’s financial district, is where fortunes are made and lost in the blink of an eye–a place that exudes power, excitement, and an unmistakable energy that has fascinated people for decades.
It’s not every day you get to experience the bustling charm of Wall Street right in the heart of Dubai, though. But that’s exactly what Bull & Bear’s new Saturday brunch promises—a slice of the Big Apple with all its glitz and glamour, seamlessly transported to Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre.
Walking into the restaurant, you’re immediately greeted by an ambiance that echoes the iconic New York financial district. The décor is a bit of everything, sleek modernity with vintage touches and subtle nods to Wall Street’s storied past. Much like a place where the energy of 1920s New York, with its roaring jazz and vibrant nightlife, meets the refinement of today’s fine dining.
As someone who’s always been fascinated by the fast-paced world of finance, stepping into this space felt like being on the trading floor itself. The brunch kicks off with a stock bell ring—a charming detail that sets the tone for the afternoon. From the get-go, you know you’re in for an experience that’s anything but ordinary.
The menu is a curated culinary journey, starting with the freshest Dibba Bay oysters and Brooklyn burrata. The beef meat polpette and BB butcher block offer a hearty, satisfying main course, while the prawn cocktail adds a classic feel to the experience.
But the food is just the beginning. Throughout the brunch, surprises abound—like the highly sought-after espresso martinis that are served at unexpected moments. The desserts mimic dollars and gold bars, crafted with edible sugars and chocolates. It’s these little details that matter the most after all!
And then there’s the entertainment. Live jazz performances fill the air, transporting you back to the era of speakeasies and flapper dresses. A talented singer-guitarist, a soulful saxophone player, and a resident DJ spinning deep house jazzy tunes ensure that the vibe remains lively and engaging throughout. The music is a perfect complement to the sumptuous food, creating an atmosphere that’s both relaxed and refined.
Prices for this unique brunch experience start at AED 355 for the non-alcoholic package, with the alcoholic option at AED 475, and the champagne package at AED 650.
And the culinary treats keep coming throughout the weekend. Newest addition to their calendar, every Sunday from 1 to 4 pm, the restaurant also hosts a Sunday Roast that’s a true feast for the senses, featuring tender roast prime rib eye of beef and delicious roast Cajun chicken.
If you’re looking for a brunch or Sunday Roast that offers more than just great food, but an entire experience wrapped in the essence of New York, Bull & Bear is the place to be.
