Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 2026: This summer, GITANO Dubai at J1 Beach is turning up the heat and rewarding guests for it. Launching on 23rd May, the beachfront hotspot is introducing an all-new Saturday brunch experience where Dubai’s summer temperatures become part of the offering itself, blending elevated Mexican-Mediterranean cuisine, Riviera-inspired glamour, live music and laidback beachside energy every Saturday from 1PM to 4PM.

Adding a playful twist to the city’s brunch scene, GITANO will check the live outdoor temperature at exactly 1PM each Saturday, with the recorded temperature becoming the percentage discount applied to the original AED 495 brunch package. If Dubai reaches 40°C, guests receive 40% off the experience.

Created specifically for the summer season, the brunch takes place inside GITANO’s enclosed and fully air-conditioned Summer Jungle Terrace overlooking the pool and beachfront. Designed to capture the atmosphere of a tropical Riviera escape while remaining comfortably indoors, the space brings together lush interiors, coastal energy and the venue’s signature bohemian aesthetic.

On the Menu & In the Air

  • GITANO favourites including Salmon Ceviche, GITANO Guacamole, Slow Cooked Short Rib Quesadillas and Crispy Fish Tacos
  • Sharing-style dishes, free-flowing beverages and the restaurant’s classic Churros
  • Live DJ soundtrack running throughout the afternoon
  • Fully air-conditioned Summer Jungle Terrace with views over the pool and beachfront
  • Complimentary access to both the pool and beach post-brunch
  • Seamless transition from afternoon dining into sunset along the J1 Riviera shoreline

Since launching in Dubai, GITANO has established itself as one of the city’s standout beachfront dining destinations, recognised for its jungle-inspired interiors, globally influenced culinary offering and distinctive Tulum-meets-Riviera spirit. Originally born in Tulum before expanding internationally, the concept has become synonymous with immersive destination dining shaped by music, design and escapism.

With its unique temperature-based concept, immersive atmosphere and luxurious beachfront setting, GITANO’s Saturday brunch is set to become one of the city’s most talked-about weekend experiences this summer.
