Grand Mercure Dubai City Marks Easter with Two Curated Culinary Experiences

A heartwarming Easter Sunday lunch at Walima and a season-long Afternoon Tea at Qova Café invite guests to indulge in the flavours of the occasion.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 17 April 2025

This Easter, Grand Mercure Dubai City brings a fresh, seasonal twist to its culinary offerings with two thoughtfully curated experiences at the hotel’s signature venues — Walima Restaurant and Qova Café. Whether it’s a family-friendly Sunday lunch or an elegant afternoon treat, the hotel invites guests to savour the essence of Easter on 20 April and beyond.

The celebration begins with Easter Sunday Lunch at Walima, Grand Mercure’s warm and welcoming all-day dining venue. Taking place on Sunday, 20 April from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM, the festive buffet is designed with families in mind, offering an abundant spread of international and Middle Eastern specialities alongside a selection of seasonal Easter dishes. Priced at AED 125 per adult and AED 75 per child, the experience also includes complimentary dining for children under six — making it an ideal gathering for parents and little ones alike.

With its inviting interiors inspired by local textures and traditional craftsmanship, Walima sets the stage for a relaxed and flavour-rich afternoon. The Easter buffet features cold mezze like hummus basil and muhammara, vibrant spring salads, and live stations serving truffle risotto, shawarma, and mixed grills. Signature roasts and regional favourites such as lamb tagine and chicken musakhan rolls add depth to the spread. A playful dessert station rounds off the meal with Easter cakes, mango tarts, and delicate meringue cups — capturing the festive spirit in every bite.

Meanwhile, Qova Café, nestled in the lobby of the hotel, extends the festivities with a limited-edition Easter Afternoon Tea, running daily from 20 to 30 April between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. For AED 99 per couple, guests can enjoy a tiered presentation of handcrafted sweet and savoury bites paired with premium teas and coffees, offering a quiet, elegant way to mark the season.

Set against a backdrop of warm hospitality and understated luxury, Grand Mercure Dubai City continues to craft moments rooted in culture and celebration. Its proximity to Dubai International Airport, paired with thoughtful F&B concepts, makes it a natural choice for residents and travellers alike, looking to connect over food and shared traditions.

Advance booking is recommended.
