I have been to Friday brunch a couple of times at Origins at the gorgeous Yas Viceroy. Took my parents and in-laws once and the service was great. My in-laws are a bit frail and the servers really helped us enjoy the buffet and did not let us want for anything. The offerings are a great mix of cuisines and... More

There was plenty of selection and a great view of the F1 track. The staff were all excellent and very helpful. We thought the price was very reasonable for the quality of... More

in general the place is good and has a nice view. diving into specifics, when you pay that much of money for a buffet, you would expect it to be variable, the buffet is very limited and small.

A wonderful spacious restaurant with a calming influence. We only dined here for breakfasts. Staff are at your every whim with replenishment of fruit juices, teas and coffees. The hot buffet selections are varied and always fresh. Eggs of your choice are cooked to order and the cold selections on offer are extensive. You must try the warm pastries -... More

It is a very good breakfast. While being on Yas island, you do not have many options though, but to eat in your hotel.

I wanted a glamorous birthday lunch with friends and thought that the Viceroy would be the best. Upon calling many hotels to make my enquiries, I selected the Viceroy Origins Restaurant. On my first call to make enquiries, Marie told me that they offer a Brunch Buffet on a Saturday which include an alcoholic and non-alcholic package. I then heard... More
