An amazing view all over the sea with outstanding drinks: Hidden Bar (9. December 2022)
The Hidden Bar is quite a lovely place, which is has a nice view if you manage to get a table by the water front. The bar is known for its gin selection and definitely worth visiting for that. I went for a “Keeps The Doctor Away (Crafters’ London Dry, Apple Liquor, Green Apple)” (75.00 […]
Abu Dhabi’s best restaurant, allegedly: Restaurant Coya Abu Dhabi (9. December 2022)
According to the Acqua Panna and San Pellegrino’s List 5o Best of the World Middle East, North Africa, the Coya Abu Dhabi ranks as No. 37 of the Middle East, and as the best one in Abu Dhabi. Now, frankly, I’m not sure if that is true, but it is at least not a bad […]
A lovely place for a little shisha break by the sea: West Bay Abu Dhabi (9. December 2022)
The West Bay Abu Dhabi is a lovely place since it basically offers a nice view onto the bay and especially at dawn, it really becomes a lovely place since the lights in the background really add to the surroundings. The place is also lovely in terms of an area to sit down and enjoy […]
An outstanding breakfast selection, which is worth taking some time to indulge: Restaurant Oléa @ The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort (9. December 2022)
The breakfast selection at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort is absolutely stunning. You really get everything you want and everything you can imagine. Ranging from the more traditional elements like a bunch of different vegetables, cheeses, … … to fish, and cold cuts … … fresh smoothies and fruit … … the more local […]
Exquisite for a late-night shisha and a tasty bite: Buddha-Bar Beach Abu Dhabi @ The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort (8. December 2022)
The “madras curry chicken bao buns (hoisin sauce, pickle cucumber, and carrot)” (75.00 AED) are overall quite delicious. The bite is a rather small one, but it is an enjoyable bite. They have the size of a mouthful and are just perfect in terms of size, but also great in terms of flavour. The “uchu […]
Build your own shisha tobacco: Restaurant Tean (11. February 2021)
I was recommended TEAN by a friend who took me here because they have good food and they offer shisha. And frankly, the place is amazing. You’re seated close to the sea and have a lovely view which is already a good start. Furthermore, the staff does a marvelous job. We had ordered food and […]
Delicious food experience with a mixed food concept: Restaurant Garage @ W Abu Dhabi (11. February 2021)
Since I have not had the chance to see certain things when I was last time in Abu Dhabi, I decided to take another trip there, and I didn’t regret it (e.g., visit the Sheik Zayed Mosque on a Saturday, not on a Friday). Also, visit now, since everything is basically empty and you have […]
Decent mezzeh but disappointing burger: Restaurant Oléa @ The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort (17. February 2018)
Given no restaurant was serving food during the afternoon in The St. Regis besides the ‘famous’ breakfast restaurant Oléa, I decided to eat something here. The “Cold Mezzeh (hummus, moutabel, tabouleh, fattoush, warak inab and pickled vegetables, marinated olives, muhammara, labneh served with Arabic bread)” (90 AED) was quite okay. The “Grilled ‘Prime Beef Burger’ […]
