New brunches in Dubai are constantly coming and going, but we often don’t think about how much goes into the planning and execution of a new launch.
When we’re enjoying ourselves with our best friends it’s easy to forget about the weeks, months and years of work that goes into launching a good brunch.
In the case of Secret Parties’ latest launch at the Palazzo Versace in Dubai, it was two years in the making.
The Palazzo Versace was on director Chris Wright’s venue bucket list for years prior to its launch just a few weeks ago.
“We’ve always wanted to work with the Palazzo Versace, it’s one of the best hotels in the region, so for Secret Parties to be associated with it is amazing,” he tells .
After numerous meetings over the last 12 months to make the new brunch “perfect”, Secret Palazzo Versace Brunch received the green light.
“We have our own brand guidelines we have to stick to, so the mix of the Versace brand and Secret had to blend properly, which is why it took almost a year to put together,” he explains. “The wait was absolutely worth it and this is one of the best parties in the region.”
The vibe
The new brunch is certainly an absolute spectacle, combining classical music with some of the chart’s top hits, brunch-goers are treated to live entertainment with Dubai opera singer Joseph Terterian alongside an electric violinist.
As for the food – it’s just as good as the entertainment. Taking place in the Palazzo Versace restaurant Vanita’s, guests enjoy a hearty four-course menu with dishes including arancini, sea bass, roasted beef tenderloin, a cheese board, succulent desserts and more.
