PARTNER CONTENT: A new season calls for a new ritual (we don’t make the rules) and this one might just become the city’s next obsession. Secret Abu Dhabi is teaming up with Valgerand Nordic Grill for an exclusive Sunday takeover of The Nordic Table Brunch.
To celebrate this collaboration, Secret Abu Dhabi is giving a few lucky readers the chance to join them for the ultimate weekend out.

Set right on Mamsha Al Saadiyat’s beachfront, with panoramic sea views and the kind of weather that finally makes you want to linger outdoors, this brunch blends Nordic elegance with laid-back coastal living. It’s the brunch moment Abu Dhabi has been waiting for.
And the best part? The menu is built around the Nordic cooking techniques of salt, smoke, and fire. A Nordic-inspired spread that remains a rarity in the city: fresh, refined, comforting, and wonderfully elevated by Executive Chef Alain Regnault.
What does The Nordic Table Brunch menu look like?
In true Valgerand fashion, it’s all about sharing.
Start with cold dishes:
- Smoked Haddock Cold Flat Omelette, a flavourful introduction to what’s ahead
- Nordic Bread Basket with egg spread and beetroot pesto
- Garden Salad with grapefruit and pecan
- Tomato Carpaccio with local cheese

Then the menu dives into the ocean, brunch style. Highlights include:
- Prawn Cocktail
- Smoked Salmon on Potato Rösti
- Salmon Tartare
- Normandy Fine de Claire Oysters N°3

Next comes the grill, powered by a charcoal parrilla open-fire grill. Beef, salmon, chicken, and octopus skewers set the sizzle, followed by mains ranging from Smoked Grilled Beef with Nordic fries to a lightly smoked Beef Burger, and more.
Dessert arrives as the Chef’s Sweet Surprise -simple, intentional, and unmistakably delicious.
For entertainment, Valgerand brings none other than Nina, an accomplished musician, singer, performer, and flautist, ready to ignite the afternoon with her versatile live sets.
What makes this brunch different?
You can enjoy it every Saturday and Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm. Whether you opt for the sleek indoor setting or the breezy terrace overlooking Mamsha’s stunning coastline, it’s a brunch that feels like an escape.
But this Sunday’s brunch is extra special because Secret Abu Dhabi is sharing it with you.
