A Culinary Celebration: Award-Winning Breakfast at ME Dubai
On June 17, 2025, ME by Meliá Dubai is set to transform the morning dining experience with a one-time exclusive breakfast event featuring two culinary luminaries. This unprecedented collaboration between the esteemed French baker Bruno Dinel and Dubai’s own Executive Chef Biljana Nava Villarreal promises to take guests on a gastronomic journey that marries traditional techniques with innovative flair.
An Unforgettable Breakfast Experience
Dubbed “A Taste of Artisanal Delights,” this single-morning event will take place at the hotel’s renowned Central Restaurant, known for its commitment to high-quality cuisine and distinct culinary experiences. Chef Dinel, the founder of the celebrated French bakery Au Pain de Mon Grand-Père, has garnered numerous accolades for his artisan pastries and sourdough breads. Joining him is Chef Biljana, whose inventive dishes have helped shape the culinary landscape at ME Dubai, creating a thoughtful integration of global flavors and local ingredients.
The breakfast menu showcases an array of exceptional offerings. Dinel’s freshly baked goods, including fluffy brioches, hearty sourdoughs, and iconic French baguettes, will be complemented by a selection of signature dishes curated by Chef Biljana. The menu features crowd pleasers such as the highly popular Alpha and Omega dish, which includes a poached egg Benedict accompanied by avocado and salmon, and the indulgent brioche French toast. Guests will also enjoy a rustic rendition of Huevos Rotos, with crispy potatoes topped with eggs and aged dry beef, demonstrating the creative potential of traditional breakfast fare.
A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Chef Bruno Dinel arrives at ME Dubai with an impressive reputation stemming from his commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability. His bakery, Au Pain de Mon Grand-Père, founded in 2002 in Strasbourg, France, is renowned for its slow-fermented breads and pastries made using Label Rouge flours, organic grains, and Valrhona chocolate. The bakery’s culinary innovations have set standards in the artisan baking community, as evidenced by Dinel’s two Guinness World Records — one for creating the world’s longest tartine, measuring 1.6 kilometers, and another for the largest croque monsieur, spanning over 30 square meters. Such achievements reaffirm his position as both a traditionalist and an innovator within the culinary sector.
Adding depth to the breakfast experience, Chef Biljana aims to elevate everyday ingredients with her distinct culinary signature. With international influences woven through her creations, Chef Biljana invites diners to explore new interpretations of time-honored dishes, thus enriching the morning meal with vibrant flavors and artistic presentations. Her focus on ingredient quality and thoughtful execution aligns perfectly with ME by Meliá Dubai’s mission to deliver memorable dining occasions.

We’re not just serving breakfast; we’re curating an experience that brings together two exceptional culinary minds and invites guests to rediscover the morning ritual through a more elevated, thoughtful lens.
