Once in Juffair, never again: Buster’s NightClub (7. March 2018)

Since we have arrived in Bahrain, we always said that we needed to go to Juffair once and in my last evening, it was about time to do so. We ended up – by guidance of the cab driver – at Busters NightClub. A big wow – not really a positive one. The place was […]

The last shisha in Bahrain: Gallery 21 (7. March 2018)

The last shisha in Bahrain: Gallery 21 (7. March 2018)

My last shisha in Bahrain – in the place I keep returning to. The Gallery 21 still manages to leave a positive impression. The outside terrace is lovely and the service really pulls a leg to make sure that you have everything, especially when you are a regular. The place was unusually packed – probably […]

One of the better restaurants serving Italian food: Restaurant Café Italia (7. March 2018)

One of the better restaurants serving Italian food: Restaurant Café Italia (7. March 2018)

I haven’t found many places which serve decent Italian food – the Restaurant Café Italia is among the few which actually do. The “Burrata” was surprisingly fresh and, therefore, lovely in taste. The tomatoes were way fresher than expected and much more aromatic than I would ever have thought. The “Insalata di Verde (avocado, cucumber, […]

Good for the view, nothing else: Restaurant Alto @ Rotana Downtown (7. March 2018)

Good for the view, nothing else: Restaurant Alto @ Rotana Downtown (7. March 2018)

Colleagues of mine have mentioned Alto for its view – and frankly, that is all there is. The food is really not worth mentioning as it is frankly not outstanding at all. I went for the “chickpea hummus with crispy bread” (2.900 BHD) and “fried calamari, served with pickled chili mayonnaise” (4.800 BHD). The chickpea […]

Good but definitely overpriced for what it’s worth: Restaurant Plums @ The Ritz Carlton Bahrain (6. March 2018)

Good but definitely overpriced for what it’s worth: Restaurant Plums @ The Ritz Carlton Bahrain (6. March 2018)

While my last experience at Plums a couple of months back wasn’t that amazing, this time it was somehow a bit better. The “fried beef bonbon with chocolate mayo” as an “amuse bouche” was delicious. And it went on with the “tartare (prime beef, French seasoning, fries, egg yolk)” (14.500 BHD). It is cut quite […]

Surprisingly authentic Mexican cuisine: Restaurant Cantina Kahlo @ The Ritz Carlton Bahrain (5. March 2018)

Surprisingly authentic Mexican cuisine: Restaurant Cantina Kahlo @ The Ritz Carlton Bahrain (5. March 2018)

My expectations were rather low when I heard about the Cantina Kahlo, especially since I’ve been to Mexico a couple of times and haven’t found anything like real Mexican food outside of Mexico. Cantina Kahlo was good for a surprise. I went for the “Calientes (3 hot items) (9.000 BHD)”, specifically “Tamales (corn, jalapeños, goat […]

Decent chicken dishes but nothing much more: Restaurant Köşebaşı (27. February 2018)

Decent chicken dishes but nothing much more: Restaurant Köşebaşı (27. February 2018)

While the humus itself isn’t anything great, in combination with the meat, the “Pastırmalı Humus (homemade humus topped with olive oil and pastrami)” (2.800 BHD) becomes truly delicious. The saltiness of the meat with the smoothness of the humus makes for a good starter. To balance off the saltiness, the “Toros Salata (finely chopped tomatoes, […]

A great location for an outdoor shisha: Gallery 21 (26. February 2018)

Somehow we end up returning to this place over and over again and that is for a reason. You get to sit outside in the open and enjoy a shisha with a glass of alcohol or a Moroccan tea. And there aren’t too many places where you can do the former. The place is usually […]
