A sun drenched afternoon on the coast just found its way back to the capital. Pappas Taverna at W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island has officially reopened its doors for the much loved Sunday Brunch, offering a weekly escape that feels more like a getaway to the Greek islands. From 1 PM to 4 PM, the venue transforms into a communal celebration of flavor, inviting friends and families to slow down and savor the vibrant spirit of the Mediterranean.
Modern diners are increasingly gravitating toward the “clean beauty” of simple, honest ingredients, moving away from over-processed options in favor of fresh, coastal produce. This shift mirrors a broader “eco-friendly” mindset where quality and tradition take precedence over fast food culture. Pappas Taverna answers this demand by starting every meal with artisan breads and an authentic Greek mezze selection. Highlights like the Lavraki Tuna Tartar with Santorini capers and the iconic Greek Village Salad set a refreshed tone for the afternoon ahead.

The energy of the room peaks at the Grand Grill and Live Carving Stations. Guests can witness the craft of the kitchen firsthand as chefs prepare marinated beef steaks, chicken fileto, and a whole spit-roasted baby lamb. For those who prefer the treasures of the sea, the Seafood Paella and the inventive Lobster Moussaka offer a luxurious take on regional classics. The Feta-Calamari Spirals, filled with green pesto, provide a creative twist that keeps the experience feeling contemporary and fresh.

As the afternoon winds down, the dessert course arrives with a touch of opulence. The Baklava Mille-Feuille, layered with pistachio and spiced honey cream, is a showstopper, while the golden Loukoumades add a shimmering finish to the day. This reflects the brand’s commitment to bold innovation by taking traditional street food and elevating it for an aspirational setting. It is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with loved ones in a space that feels both grounded and high-end.
