Much better food than you would expect there: Beach @ Le Royal Méridien (18. March 2023)
Despite the fact that the Grosvenor House itself doesn’t have a beach, you have the possibility to get beach access via the Le Royal Méridien, and it’s an option you should definitely take advantage of. The place is quite nice and perfect, to chill, to eat, to drink. The only downside is that there is […]
A great breakfast selection once you know what you can find where: Restaurant Sloane’s @ Grosvenor House Dubai (17. March 2023)
It’s a bit more than three years ago since I’ve last been to Sloane’s, and I must admit it is quite a nice place to have breakfast. Things are partially a bit hidden, but once you’ve found everything and know where it’s located, it’s quite perfect really. The offering ranges from pastries … … to […]
Perfect to unwind after a hectic work week: Siddharta Lounge By Buddha-Bar @ Grosvenor House (16. March 2023)
Whenever I get to Dubai, I feel like taking a brief pause at Siddharta Lounge by Buddha-Bar since it offers kind of everything you need and want. I was quite hungry after a rather late flight and went for the “wagyu beef sliders (wagyu beef, potato bun, spicy mayo, French fries)” (100 AED), which were […]
Unfriendly service, but surprisingly decent cuisine: Restaurant Oh Massalia @ AC Hotel by Marriott Marseille Prado Velodrome (14. February 2023)
Since it was not easy to find a restaurant on short notice for Valentine’s Day, I decided to eat something in the hotel restaurant, and was quite happy there was actually space. The welcome was not really a welcome, as the waiter was somewhat rude. However, luckily the waiter changed, and the second waiter was […]
Perfect for a shisha and loud DJ music: Andreea’s Beach Club (5. February 2023)
Since I had only been to the restaurant last time, I decided to give the Beach Club itself a try as well. I went, as always, for a “double apple shisha” (150.00 AED) and a “Corona” (50.00 AED) to spend some time by the pool. The place is quite nice, but the DJ blasts up […]
Decent shisha lounge with service going the extra mile: Salamar Shisha Lounge @ Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection (4. February 2023)
I was misled by the concierge since they told me the Salamar Shisha Lounge served shisha from 5pm on, but in fact they only started serving shisha at around 5.30pm. However, they made it possible nevertheless, and I got my “double apple shisha” (100.00 AED) already then and there. It was a bit cold outside, […]
Good, but not number 2 of The World’s 50 Best MENA: Restaurant Trèsind (3. February 2023)
Another day, another try of The World’s 50 Best MENA – this time, number 2! I was surprised how easy it was to get a table, but I was also ensured that it was a high-class dining experience since they had called in advance to reconfirm the booking. I went for the “Tasting Menu” (400 […]
A perfectly lovely place for a meal with a shisha by the pool: Andreea’s Beach Club (3. February 2023)
Since I was somehow not able to get up early enough, I missed breakfast and the lounge completely. Hence, it was time to find a spot, which offers food and shisha – and the Andreea’s Beach Club is pretty perfect for that. If you want, you can go to the place to enjoy your time […]
