Perfect rooftop pool view onto the sea – if the weather was nice: Siddharta Lounge by Buddha-Bar @ W Muscat (28. January 2023)
Since the number of restaurants in the W is relatively limited, and some are closed at some times, I decided to give the Siddharta Lounge by Buddha-Bar a try, which is more of a fancy relaxing restaurant and bar with a rooftop pool, which provides you with a view of the sea. However, since it […]
A lovely shisha but with restrictive hours: Living Room Bar @ W Muscat (27. January 2023)
I was so looking forward to enjoying a shisha during my weekend, that I was quite disappointed when I learned that they would only serve shisha after 6pm! I mean, how comes, that you cannot enjoy a shisha during the day? In any case, with the given cab situation, I decided to have the shisha […]
A high quality Chinese dinner experience in Oman: Restaurant Ba Ban @ W Muscat (27. January 2023)
Getting a cab without cash (i.e., intending to pay by credit card) is a bit of an adventure. So, my original booking idea somehow failed due to the missing cab options. Hence, I decided to go for a restaurant within the hotel. Once you’re seated at the Ba Ban, you’re served a few pickled vegetables […]
Overall enjoyable breakfast selection: Restaurant Harvest @ W Muscat (27. January 2023)
The breakfast selection at the Harvest is quite decent – you find everything from a selection of sweets and pastries … … to cereals in all forms and kinds … … jams and honey … … a variety of warm dishes … … lactose-based juices … … cheeses … … fresh seasonal fruit … x […]
The place is a real turn-off, but the fish is luscious: Restaurant Fishers Grilled (6. January 2018)
While I was waiting for the dishes to be prepared, I saw a lot of tourists walking by the place and then deciding not to eat there. And frankly, I can understand them as the place does not look appealing! However, as the place had been recommended to me by two friends independently who both […]
Great local experience with lovely view on the balcony: Restaurant Bait Al Luban (5. January 2018)
The Bait Al Luban is apparently among the best restaurants in Muscat and I must say that it is definitely an interesting local experience. It is not entirely easy to find as the entrance is a bit in the back and you have to get to the second floor, but once you’ve found it, you […]
Amazingly relaxing for an afternoon and evening shisha: Courtyard Lounge @ Sheraton Oman (5. January 2018)
The Courtyard offers more than just breakfast – you can also enjoy a shisha in the garden restaurant which is amazing. The place is just truly beautiful and the “double apple shisha” (5.110 OMR) in combination with a “Peppermint Tea” (2.726 OMR) really makes for a great combination. As I had a shisha in the […]
Theoretically a lavish selection but practically half-empty: Restaurant Courtyard @ Sheraton Oman (5. January 2018)
Upon entering the Restaurant Courtyard, I was a bit skeptical at first as it didn’t look like there was much food left but once I’ve walked through the buffet I figured the selection is actually quite nice. It ranges from a variety of fresh fruit to … … cheeses … … spreads … … cold […]
