Surprisingly good dishes where you would not expect it: Restaurant Wagamama @ Bahrain City Centre (28. January 2018)

I had originally ordered the edamame with chili and salt but got the regular ones instead. The “edamame (steamed edamame beans with salt)” (2.750 BHD) were good and the salt was not applied in large amounts at it often is. However, you have to be a bit patient before you actually get something to eat. […]

Not my favourite in-mall restaurant anymore: Restaurant The Butcher Shop & Grill (22. January 2018)

Not my favourite in-mall restaurant anymore: Restaurant The Butcher Shop & Grill (22. January 2018)

This visit of The Butcher left the impression that the chef has changed. While in previous visits I really had the feeling that they do a great job, I was not so persuaded this time. The “Traditional Greek salad (served with arugula, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, kalamata olives, watermelon and feta cheese)” (3.900 […]

Incredibly bad service – never again! Restaurant Paul’s (21. January 2018)

Incredibly bad service – never again! Restaurant Paul’s (21. January 2018)

Bad service is really just the first name here, horrible service is the whole thing! It was the Saudi vacation so the place was flooded unlike normally. But after we took our seats, it took them 5 minutes to bring the menu. Then, after we had placed the order, it took them another 10 minutes […]

Outstanding service and great meat: Restaurant Attic (20. January 2018)

Outstanding service and great meat: Restaurant Attic (20. January 2018)

The Attic remains a great place for meat – much better than many proclaimed meat restaurants I’ve visited in Manama. The place was a bit empty due to the sandstorm and inside the climate was a bit too chilly but we were warmly welcomed by the waitress, Anna, who was very caring and lovely. I […]

Overpriced but with exquisite service: Restaurant Primavera @ The Ritz Carlton (16. January 2018)

Overpriced but with exquisite service: Restaurant Primavera @ The Ritz Carlton (16. January 2018)

I have heard quite a bit about the Primavera in the Ritz Carlton and that it is apparently among the better restaurants on the island. And frankly, I understand now why. Once you’ve been seated, you are attended by incredibly friendly waiters and “spread & bread” is served right away – grissini, focaccia, and regular […]

Empty restaurants with average food: Restaurant Baan Saeng Thai (15. January 2018)

Empty restaurants with average food: Restaurant Baan Saeng Thai (15. January 2018)

Due to the fact that this place had been recommended to me, I was surprised upon entering. It looked not very appealing plus it was absolutely empty. There were literally no other guests there but us. At least we had the full attention of the service. I went for the “vegetable spring rolls” (2.200 BHD) […]

When the service is absolutely not up to the task: Restaurant Paul’s (10. January 2018)

Although I was a bit reluctant at first to visit the Paul’s as I didn’t trust a French(ish) restaurant in Bahrain, I end up there quite a lot recently – especially since it is one of the only places in the Bahrain City Centre mall where you get kind of healthy food. The “Boule de […]

Lovely shisha terrace during the week: Asia de Cuba @ Gallery 21 (9. January 2018)

Lovely shisha terrace during the week: Asia de Cuba @ Gallery 21 (9. January 2018)

Somehow whenever I’m dining out in Adliyah, I end up in the Asia de Cuba in the Gallery 21 to get a sisha as the place is lovely in terms of atmosphere and quite comfortable to sit outside. And the heating mushrooms they have definitely adds to that experience as it allows you to remain […]
