A complete Italian wanna-be restaurant experience: Restaurant Oliveto (26. February 2018)

When you go to an Italian restaurant in a non-Italian country, don’t expect too much. At first, I must admit, the place is quite lovely and you feel comfortable there. The “Olive Spread” is still okay. When it comes to the wine menu, the trouble starts. Not a single wine is spelled correctly. You find […]

Decent Asian dishes with slow service: Restaurant Wagamama @ Bahrain City Centre (25. February 2018)

Decent Asian dishes with slow service: Restaurant Wagamama @ Bahrain City Centre (25. February 2018)

Somehow, we end up getting back here given the selection of dishes is decent and the quality is quite good, plus, the service is rather swift. The “Beef Teriyaki Soba (soba noodles in curry oil, mangetout, bok choi, red onion, chilies and beansprouts in a teriyaki sauce, garnished with sesame seeds)” (8.950 BHD) was heavy […]

A great new location but on the pricey side: Restaurant Iris (19. February 2018)

A great new location but on the pricey side: Restaurant Iris (19. February 2018)

I have heard so much about Iris as one of the new upcoming places. And frankly, I understand why. Given the availability of things in Bahrain, the Iris is a great location. After some initial back and forth in terms of what we wanted to order, the waiter took our order and marched off. The […]

Definitely the slowest service there is: Furn Bistro & Bakery @ The Westin Bahrain City Centre (19. February 2018)

Definitely the slowest service there is: Furn Bistro & Bakery @ The Westin Bahrain City Centre (19. February 2018)

Somehow I end up going back to the Furn Bistro & Bakery. And I get why as the food is good but frankly, the speed of service sucks. You have to wait a solid 30 minutes before any food is served. And that although the place is pretty much empty! I mean, why? The “soup […]

Decent as always, average as always: Restaurant Vapiano @ Bahrain City Centre Mall (14. February 2018)

Decent as always, average as always: Restaurant Vapiano @ Bahrain City Centre Mall (14. February 2018)

The Vapiano is one of these places you keep returning to – doesn’t matter in what country and doesn’t really matter that the food is not that outstanding. But it is solid. And sometimes, solid just cuts it! The “ceasar salad” without anything is rather disappointing. The “Pasta Rosso” on the other hand was actually […]

The healthiest food in whole of Bahrain: Restaurant Lumee Street Café @ Al Aali Mall (13. February 2018)

The Lumee Street Café is definitely one of the better restaurants I have tried while being in Bahrain. They serve healthy, tasty food! The “Harra Hummus (spicy) (hummus whipped with grilled red pepper & chili puree)” (1.900 BHD) was absolutely delicious! Spicy, yes! But amazing! The “Kale Sabzi with Feta Cheese (shredded kale, tarragon dill, […]

Great place for shisha with good service: Nasmat Poolbar @ The Westin Bahrain City Centre (12. February 2018)

Great place for shisha with good service: Nasmat Poolbar @ The Westin Bahrain City Centre (12. February 2018)

Given at some point you’ve tried kind of everything in the hotel, so I decided to enjoy dinner outside with a shisha. The “Caesar salad (Romaine lettuce, turkey bacon, anchovies, croutons and Caesar dressing) with chicken” (5.000 BHD) was okay but the croutons are way too big. Not sure who should enjoy them. The “lentil […]

Not worth trying: Restaurant Selections @ InterContinental Regency Bahrain (12. February 2018)

After having had lunch in the same place over and over and over again, we decided to try something new and went for the Selections in the InterContinental. Well, that was not really a good idea. The buffet selection looks good at first ranging from cheeses … … to salads … … to vegetables … […]
