My favourite place for double apple shisha in Dubai: SoBe @ W Dubai – The Palm (16. January 2021)
This was going to become my second favorite spot in the W The Palm Dubai. For a variety of reasons – they have lovely sofas on which you can enjoy the evening, smoking shisha, and overseeing Dubai. Secondly, they have super friendly and lovely staff like Armin or Estefania who make sure you’re taking care […]
A surprisingly delicious Mexican restaurant where you wouldn’t expect it: Restaurant Señor Pico (16. January 2021)
Who would have thought that you could find a decent Mexican place in Dubai? I for sure didn’t but a Mexican recommended this place to me, so it was about time to give it a try. And I do admit, it was actually great! There is a variety of different “tacos” (3 pieces each type) […]
Surprising but delicious dishes – with a view: Restaurant Akira Back @ W Dubai – The Palm (15. January 2021)
And it was Akira Back again! I was super skeptical when I was recommended the “tuna pizza (umami aioli, micro shiso, white truffle oil, and shaved truffle)” (AED 120 + AED 25 per gram of truffle) but it was actually surprisingly delicious. I mean, it’s not really a pizza pizza like with mozzarella cheese and […]
A marvelous bar with a lovely view: LookUp Rooftop Bar @ La Ville Hotel & Suites City Walk, Autograph Collection (14. January 2021)
The Look Up Rooftop Bar was somehow not a place which I actively had on my agenda but a friend of mine brought me here – and I must say, I quite liked it. The food offering is admittedly relatively limited (which is okay though). But they offer “levantine tapas” (75 AED) which are quite […]
When you discover your favorite restaurant in Dubai: Restaurant Akira Back @ W Dubai – The Palm (12. January 2021)
First time to Akira Back but definitely not the last! It just somehow became my standard restaurant after my first visit. The place is perfect – you have great food, lovely service, and an amazing view. As a started I went for “Salted Edamame” (AED 25) which were definitely good. The “AB tacos (wagyu bulgogi, […]
Very decent in quality and taste yet not truly Italian: Restaurant Torno Subito (11. January 2021)
“Torno Subito” is Italian and means “I come back soon”. And well, as the name said, I did turn back soon. As a starter they do their mixture of old bread crumbs (from the previous day in order to not create too much waste), a Parmesan foam, and tomato. And it is definitely quite enjoyable […]
Light Greek-style dishes in nice surroundings: Restaurant avli by tashas (9. January 2021)
There are a few good in the DIFC and the avli by tashas is one of them. Once you’re seated and they manage to bring you the menu (which takes a bit), you’re served “bread with olive spread” which was actually tasty but the bread was a bit too oily for my taste. The “grilled […]
Good, but not as good as Massimo Bottura’s original: Restaurant Torno Subito @ W Dubai – The Palm (8. January 2021)
Being able to go to a restaurant again after weeks of closed restaurants was really something! And the good thing about Dubai is that everything is open! I couldn’t believe my luck though when I figured out that the Torno Subito, which is located at the W The Palm hotel, is a subsidiary of Massimo […]
