Into the Jungle. Giardino restaurant

Food & Drink

There are a variety of restaurants to dine at Palazzo Versace Dubai, including Vanitas – a stunning, neoclassical Italian restaurant and Enigma that offers a contemporary, Persian experience. Of course, no hotel stay is complete without a delicious breakfast and Giardino’s promises a plentiful culinary offering with an array of international stations, set in a vibrant, Versace inspired space, complete with marble ‘terrazzo’ flooring and ornate columns. Giardano offers, an all-inclusive Friday Brunch as well.

Giardino – complete with wallpaper in Versace’s famous palm print, as seen on Jennifer Lopez’s 2000 Grammy Awards gown – opens with a flamboyant breakfast buffet. Giardino is a buffet-style restaurant which is open all day. It features several interactive live cooking stations serving everything from Indian cuisine to freshly made sushi. One of the highlights of this restaurant is the staff’s uniform. Few waiters and waitresses can boast that their uniform is Versace, even less can claim that their Versace uniform was inspired by Jennifer Lopez’s ‘jungle’ dress for the Grammy’s. They look impeccable and oh-so-chic.

This restaurant presents a marble “terrazzo” flooring, columns and a wallcovering inspired by the jungle motif of Versace wallpaper collection. The colors switch from green, light green and ivory. The crockery belongs to an exclusive line “Rosenthal meets Versace” collection, inspired by “Les Reves Byzantines”.

‘Into the Jungle’ Friday Brunch

There’s nothing better than a family day out which ticks every box for the perfect day. The Into the Jungle Brunch at Giardino promises unique experiences for the entire family within the comfortable settings of the fashion-inspired venue that extends throughout the expansive terrace.

While adults can enjoy live tunes from the resident DJ, bongo player, violinist and singer, kids have a lot more to look forward to throughout the brunch, from animal impersonators, Magic Phil, face painting and mini chef experiences to balloon making, jungle crafts and a planting station.

While the kids are at play, parents can choose from a wide selection of gourmet delicacies served across live cooking stations, including classic British roasts, skillfuly prepared sushi, the freshest seafood, as well as an array of Indian and South East Asian cuisine. Younger palettes are also catered to at the ‘Kid’s Corner’ with light bites including sliders, pasta and a tempting selection of sweet treats. Fill up on chocolate fountains, cake, pancakes, waffles, curries and eggs cooked to order.

Guests are encouraged to bring their swimwear, as access to the Central and West pools before or after brunch is included. Kids can also enjoy access to the Kids Club.
