Brunch, But Make It Riviera: Chic Nonna’s L’estate Chic Is the Glamorous Summer Ritual Dubai’s Been Waiting For
There’s brunch, and then there’s L’estate Chic — a sun-drenched, fashion-forward affair from Chic Nonna DIFC that elegantly rewrites the rules of weekend dining. Launched this July, the new Saturday ritual captures the sensual spirit of the Italian Riviera and delivers it straight to the heart of Dubai’s steel-and-glass jungle.
Set against the iconic Burj Khalifa skyline, L’estate Chic is a curated celebration of la dolce vita — think: crisp white linen, coastal glamour, and a menu that could have been dreamt up on a yacht in Portofino. It’s brunch elevated, wrapped in Italian sensuality and served with a side of Champagne sparkle.
Guests are welcomed into the warm embrace of Chic Nonna’s signature hospitality, dressed in all white — a nod to classic Mediterranean summer style — before being seated for a four-hour journey through Italian indulgence. There are generous platters of antipasti, glossy ribbons of artisanal pasta, market-fresh seafood, and a dessert room that could make even the most disciplined nonna give in.
The cocktails are playful and punchy, the wine selection is as curated as a Milanese fashion rack, and the live entertainment adds just the right amount of brio. And while the menu is unmistakably refined, the vibe remains utterly effortless — more Amalfi jet set than stuffy fine dining.
Diego Vadala, CEO of Mine & Yours Group, puts it best: “L’estate Chic is more than a brunch — it’s a celebration of summer elegance.” And that it is. From the clink of glasses to the swing of linen skirts, this is where Dubai’s tastemakers gather to toast the weekend, Italian style.
Whether you’re in it for the pasta, the people-watching, or the perfectly chilled Franciacorta, L’estate Chic is poised to become Dubai’s most coveted summer reservation. Just don’t forget to wear white — and bring your appetite for glamour.
