Surprisingly exquisite Italian pizza: Restaurant Bussola @ The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina (2. February 2021)
When you’ve had Corona and lost your smell and taste and are finally released back into freedom, you are craving for something which has intense flavors. So, a “pizza diavola with extra anchovies” is the absolutely perfect thing to try! And I was very positively surprised how good the pizza actually was. Not something I […]
Not really the kind of breakfast I’m into: Restaurant Brunch & Cake – The Pointe (23. January 2021)
My last meal out before catching Corona – Brunch & Cake is definitely a place which offers decent breakfast, on the heavier side though. The “eggs carbonara (slow-cooked scrambled eggs with truffle oil, beef bacon, mushrooms, grated Parmesan and chicken and mushroom croquettes, served on a full butter croissant)” (AED 68.00) with “additional halloumi” (10 […]
It just remains a delicious place to enjoy dinner: Restaurant Akira Back @ W Dubai – The Palm (22. January 2021)
And we’re back at Akira Back! The “hirame carpaccio (crispy shallots, Nanbanzu sauce)” (AED 90) was, again, exquisite! I truly liked the flavors and the combination of the smoothness, the slight acidity and the crunch. Definitely worth trying! The “tuna pizza (umami aioli, micro shiso, white truffle oil” (AED 120) is also great without truffle […]
A nice Lebanese food experience: Al Falamanki Café (21. January 2021)
It is two years ago since I’ve last been to the Al Falamnki but I have a fond memory of this place and it was just reinforced upon visiting again. It is one of the places which kind of offers ‘local’ (although technically it’s Lebanese) cuisine. The “hommos with meat & pine nuts” (44 AED) […]
Decent but definitely hyped Italian place: Restaurant Alici (20. January 2021)
Most people I hear speaking about Alici have a very high opinion of the place, and I understand why. It’s nice, it’s fancy, it’s in a cool place, it’s serving decent food. But it’s not that good. As a starter we went for “fritto misto (fried calamari, red prawns, sliced purple potato, zucchini, chili jam, […]
Simple yet nice food and lovely shisha by the beach: W Lounge @ W Dubai – The Palm (19. January 2021)
The “caesar salad with chicken” was decent – but nothing more than that. The chicken was somehow a bit too breaded and a bit too dry for my gusto. Luckily though, the “burger” was not only looking tasty but was actually quite yummy. You can see by the way it is presented that there is […]
Lovely Asian fusion kitchen dishes with exquisite service: Restaurant Akira Back @ W Dubai – The Palm (18. January 2021)
The “edamame with Maldon sea salt” (AED 25) are really part of what you want to try when you are dining at Akira Back – delicious, lovely, perfect to start. The “spicy tuna rolls (cucumber, scallions, togarashi)” (AED 60) was rather simple but still very much enjoyable. And the “miso black cod (AB Yuja sake […]
When you can combine shisha with great dishes: SoBe @ W Dubai – The Palm (17. January 2021)
The “SoBe” is not only good for shisha but you can actually also eat something there and it is enjoyable. The “chorizo croquetas (home-made chorizo, Idaho potato, smoked tomato dip” (AED 65) were definitely good and overall enjoyable. The “tuna tartare (mango purée, avocado, salmon roe, rice cracker)” (AED 70) was also fine but not […]
