Great club lounge offering: Sheraton Club Lounge @ Sheraton Al Nabil Hotel (27. December 2017)
The food selection in the Sheraton Club Lounge at the Sheraton Al Nabil Hotel is one of the better lounge food offerings I’ve had in a while. You can find fresh fruit as well as … … a selection of fresh vegetables and … … Arabic delicacies like hummus … … but also quite an […]
Typical airport food – not great: Restaurant Carluccio’s Airport C3 (27. December 2017)
I only saw Carluccio’s once in the Dubai Mall and didn’t enter it. Given I had an hour to spend at the Dubai airport before connecting to my next destination, I decided to give it a try and the start was quite a pleasant one – the “grissini with basil butter” were nicely crispy and […]
Exceptional lounge breakfast: Westin Executive Club @ The Westin Bahrain City Centre (27. December 2017)
The Westin Executive Club is one of the better equipped lounges for breakfast – you can find almost everything with a couple of shortfalls. While the selection of fresh fruit as well as Arabic delicacies like hummus is absolutely great … … and you get to have a nice selection of vegetables which goes beyond […]
Pre-Christmas cheesy cheese experience: Chalet au Lac @ Baur au Lac (23. December 2017)
Each year, the Hotel Baur au Lac erects a small wooden house in their beautiful garden called ‘Chalet au Lac’ and it does not only look very pretty, it is also quite comfortable inside. You get a menu for CHF 115.00 which includes a starter, main and a dessert although the concept is rather freely […]
Close to perfect service but not the best beef filet: Restaurant Parkhuus @ Park Hyatt (22. December 2017)
The Parkhuus has been mentioned to me as one of these places where you get great beef fillet, so I obviously had to try exactly that. But before we go into the the analysis of the beef fillet, a couple of words about the arrival. You’re greated once you walk into the restaurant and straight […]
Mall experience definitely beyond expectation: Restaurant The Butcher Shop & Grill (21. December 2017)
I grew fond of this place as it serves constant and continuous great meat quality – something which still doesn’t really work in my mind as the place is located in a mall. The greeting from the kitchen, sausage in a tomato sauce and bread plus spread is a good way to start your dinner. […]
Nice terrace with decent shisha: Asia de Cuba @ Gallery 21 (20. December 2017)
The Asia de Cuba is the perfect place to enjoy a shisha as it has a nice terrace in the front where they serve shisha during the weekend and one terrace in the back where they serve shisha during the rest of the week. It is one of the few places in Manama which serve […]
Outstanding meat but weak service performance: Restaurant Attic (20. December 2017)
The Attic had been recommended to me a couple of times since I’ve arrived to Bahrain – and it is definitely worth visiting. If you manage to get a table outside on the terrace then you have a good view onto the city (if you sit at the edge) and it is quite comfortable out […]
