Absolutely heavenly burgers – worth trying: Restaurant Burger Boutique (12. December 2022)
It was not so easy to find a place close to the hotel I was staying at which had a good rating. And despite the fact that I was not really feeling like burgers, I decided to pay the Burger Boutique a visit, since it was close, and it had a decent rating. To ‘compensate’ […]
Decent shisha, but not the smartest service: Restaurant Chifty (11. December 2022)
Chifty is nice in the warmer months, when you can sit outside and enjoy your shisha there. It’s also okay when you are in the cooler months, since you can smoke your “Double Apple Nakhlar” (175.00 SAR) shisha inside. And while the atmosphere is quite nice, it is rather cold (cooled down via AC) and […]
Decent and good dishes with good service: Restaurant Loris (11. December 2022)
I’ve passed by Loris twice, but somehow never bothered to enter. When it showed up with a 4.7 rating on Google Maps, I decided to give it another try. And frankly, I was quite positively surprised. As so many places, Loris was quite empty on a weekday. That was great since it meant that the […]
Quite decent Italian dishes I had not expected: Restaurant Roma, Ceiricon Buildings Branch (10. December 2022)
Somehow, it gets more and more difficult to find new restaurants which have a Google Rating which is higher than 4.0, but I managed to find Roma. And frankly, I wasn’t really too keen on trying Italian food in Riyadh, but it turned out to be better than expected. Well, not necessarily with the complementary […]
An amazing view all over the sea with outstanding drinks: Hidden Bar (9. December 2022)
The Hidden Bar is quite a lovely place, which is has a nice view if you manage to get a table by the water front. The bar is known for its gin selection and definitely worth visiting for that. I went for a “Keeps The Doctor Away (Crafters’ London Dry, Apple Liquor, Green Apple)” (75.00 […]
Abu Dhabi’s best restaurant, allegedly: Restaurant Coya Abu Dhabi (9. December 2022)
According to the Acqua Panna and San Pellegrino’s List 5o Best of the World Middle East, North Africa, the Coya Abu Dhabi ranks as No. 37 of the Middle East, and as the best one in Abu Dhabi. Now, frankly, I’m not sure if that is true, but it is at least not a bad […]
A lovely place for a little shisha break by the sea: West Bay Abu Dhabi (9. December 2022)
The West Bay Abu Dhabi is a lovely place since it basically offers a nice view onto the bay and especially at dawn, it really becomes a lovely place since the lights in the background really add to the surroundings. The place is also lovely in terms of an area to sit down and enjoy […]
An outstanding breakfast selection, which is worth taking some time to indulge: Restaurant Oléa @ The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort (9. December 2022)
The breakfast selection at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort is absolutely stunning. You really get everything you want and everything you can imagine. Ranging from the more traditional elements like a bunch of different vegetables, cheeses, … … to fish, and cold cuts … … fresh smoothies and fruit … … the more local […]
