Experience the rhythm of Rio at Barbossa with a carnival-inspired brunch
The Rio Carnival lands in Yas Bay this April, and Barbossa is turning up the heat with a limited-edition brunch running from late April to Saturday, 9 May.

There’s plenty for vegetarians too, plus desserts like churros and coconut-rich tapioca pudding.
Drinks keep pace with Caipirinhas, Caipiroskas, and signature serves made for long, lively afternoons. Big flavours, big beats, and big energy – this is Barbossa brunch, carnival-style.
