Brunch Review: Selfish Bull
Brunch Review: Selfish Bull
Located below the majestic Ain Dubai in Bluewaters, The Selfish Bull is a modern American bar and grill that has launched a new Sunday brunch experience on the coast.
As soon as you step into the environment, you’ll be captivated by the sophisticated decor in emerald, pink, burnt orange and charcoal black. While most seats in the restaurant overlook the magnificent Bluewaters coastline and beyond, window seats offer the best views. If you’re lucky enough to book one, take a moment to soak up the stunning views outside and ahead.
Highlights:
We opted to start with a plate of succulent mollusks, served with tapioca sauce; each delicious Fine de clare oyster was quickly polished. Stop by to sip the tomato-infused mix and homemade drink, and we’re off to a good start.
Brunch, a four-course feast that lets you pick your favorite from the salads, appetizers, main course and dessert sections. Each portion offered two to four choices, and between our table of four, we happily sampled every dish from the menu.
Wedge salad with little gem lettuce, corn, radishes, and cherry tomatoes topped with pistachio dressing for a crunchy, delicious crunch; Burrata and heirloom tomato salad with rocket leaves, balsamic, and pesto for a creamy, refreshing classic that you’ll love You can rarely go wrong; the Shrimp and Avocado Salad is bursting with flavor from mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, Cajun shrimp, and a lemon vinaigrette.
Portions are generous in this impressive brunch, so we recommend taking a break between each course. Upbeat tunes from the DJ will have you rocking to the beat, interspersed with soulful notes from live singers.
Appetizers suit all tastes, you can choose to enjoy French onion soup with Swiss cheese croutons or silken steak tartare with Dijon mustard, shallots, chives, capers and a slice of toast. Or, if you want a crisp seafood creation, enjoy Firecracker shrimp or squid rings with chipotle mayo.
There are four main courses to choose from: Raw Chicken with Mushroom Sauce, Truffle Risotto, Black Angus Tenderloin with Asparagus and Potatoes, and 18-Hour Boneless Grilled Corn Chicken with Teriyaki Beef Short Ribs with Homemade BBQ Sauce, Absolutely excellent.
If you have a sweet tooth, try saving space for dessert. Brownie Ă la mode is a sinful treat. The cheesecake is light and fluffy.
