A well-deserved place on The World’s 50 Best Mena (No. 44): Restaurant Jun’s (26. March 2023)

I have tried visiting the Jun’s a few times already since it was nominated No. 44 of The World’s 50 Best MENA, but somehow something got in between. So, before flying out at 8.30pm, I decided to visit it at 6pm. Hence, I had, obviously, not too much time to eat, but they made sure […]

Overall a nice experience with overly caring service staff: Restaurant Tàn Chá (24. March 2023)

Overall a nice experience with overly caring service staff: Restaurant Tàn Chá (24. March 2023)

The Tàn Chá was recommended to me by a friend and the hotel concierge at the same time, so I decided to give it a try. The “Treasure of Two Rainbows (hibiscus infused Tito’s vodka, raspberry shrub, strawberry lemonade)” (65.00 AED) was quite a nice way to start into the evening. To be fair, though, […]

A very decent breakfast, but not a place I’d travel to: Restaurant Hayal @ The St. Regis Downtown Dubai (24. March 2023)

A very decent breakfast, but not a place I’d travel to: Restaurant Hayal @ The St. Regis Downtown Dubai (24. March 2023)

My stay at The St. Regis Downtown Dubai was just exquisite. They were super friendly and upgraded me to a Deluxe Suite, and even when I extended the stay by a night, they offered me to do it on the same rate. Frankly, quite amazing service, really! Hence, I was looking forward to breakfast at […]

An absolutely delicious experience, but on the rather pricey side: Restaurant TABŪ (23. March 2023)

An absolutely delicious experience, but on the rather pricey side: Restaurant TABŪ (23. March 2023)

The Tabu is conveniently located on the top of The St. Regis Downtown, Dubai – even though you cannot access it directly from there, but you have to walk around it. The place was relatively empty for a Thursday evening, which might have been largely related to the fact that it’s Ramadan and people tend […]

A nice Lebanese food experience: Restaurant Shababik (21. March 2023)

A nice Lebanese food experience: Restaurant Shababik (21. March 2023)

The Shababik was one of the restaurants, which had been recommended to me by a local, so I was curious to see what it had to offer. The nice thing I realized when arriving to the restaurant was that there are a bunch of restaurants in the same place, which looked quite nice. In any […]

Quite a lovely dining experience with overcaring service personnel: Restaurant Dasha (20. March 2023)

I was looking for a place I hadn’t visited yet and which was rated quite high on Google, so I found Dasha, which – with a 4.8 – seemed definitely interesting. And I must say, it was. The place is located in The Esplanade, which is a place where many restaurants are located – and […]

One of the best Executive Lounges I’ve seen in over 1’450 hotel nights @ Marriott: Level 5 Lounge @ Grosvenor House Dubai (19. March 2023)

One of the best Executive Lounges I’ve seen in over 1’450 hotel nights @ Marriott: Level 5 Lounge @ Grosvenor House Dubai (19. March 2023)

Frankly, I was absolutely blown away when I entered the Level 5 Lounge in Tower 2 of the Grosvenor House Dubai. I mean, you are welcomed personally, brought to a table, and you’re asked straight away what you want to drink. That is something I have not experienced so far in any executive lounge. It’s […]

Amazing dishes, but non-satisfactory service performance: Restaurant 11 Woodfire (18. March 2023)

Amazing dishes, but non-satisfactory service performance: Restaurant 11 Woodfire (18. March 2023)

Since there are not too many restaurants of The World’s 50 Best MENA in Dubai, my ambition is to try basically all of them. Tonight, it was time for No. 35. Again, I had asked to have the starters timed, so I wouldn’t end up with all the dishes at the same time. Guess what. […]
