Remaining a delicious choice for dinner with friendly and professional service: Restaurant Kazo @ Le Méridien Riyadh (1. February 2023)
I have really grown fond of the Kazo since it offers good food, which is served swiftly, in a nice atmosphere and with friendly service. This time, I went for the “young papaya salad (string beans, tomato, cilantro, toasted peanut, Som tam dressing)” (43.70 SAR), which was quite a portion for a starter and a […]
Rather average buffet selection for dinner: Restaurant Milwan @ Le Méridien Riyadh (30. January 2023)
Apparently, there is also a buffet option in the Milwan restaurant, which is quite okay, but also on the rather pricey side with 185.00 SAR for the buffet, which is okay in terms of price, but pricey if you’re not that hungry. In any case, the selection you have at the buffet is quite decent […]
A decent, but simple lounge experience: Executive Lounge @ Le Méridien Riyadh (29. January 2023)
Despite having stayed here for a while, I somehow haven’t been able to visit the Executive Lounge – but finally it was time. They close the buffet at 8.30pm, so if you arrive 8.25pm, there is almost nothing left. However, the selection is still decent, ranging from a variety of different cheeses and breads … […]
Perfect rooftop pool view onto the sea – if the weather was nice: Siddharta Lounge by Buddha-Bar @ W Muscat (28. January 2023)
Since the number of restaurants in the W is relatively limited, and some are closed at some times, I decided to give the Siddharta Lounge by Buddha-Bar a try, which is more of a fancy relaxing restaurant and bar with a rooftop pool, which provides you with a view of the sea. However, since it […]
A lovely shisha but with restrictive hours: Living Room Bar @ W Muscat (27. January 2023)
I was so looking forward to enjoying a shisha during my weekend, that I was quite disappointed when I learned that they would only serve shisha after 6pm! I mean, how comes, that you cannot enjoy a shisha during the day? In any case, with the given cab situation, I decided to have the shisha […]
A high quality Chinese dinner experience in Oman: Restaurant Ba Ban @ W Muscat (27. January 2023)
Getting a cab without cash (i.e., intending to pay by credit card) is a bit of an adventure. So, my original booking idea somehow failed due to the missing cab options. Hence, I decided to go for a restaurant within the hotel. Once you’re seated at the Ba Ban, you’re served a few pickled vegetables […]
Overall enjoyable breakfast selection: Restaurant Harvest @ W Muscat (27. January 2023)
The breakfast selection at the Harvest is quite decent – you find everything from a selection of sweets and pastries … … to cereals in all forms and kinds … … jams and honey … … a variety of warm dishes … … lactose-based juices … … cheeses … … fresh seasonal fruit … x […]
Consistency in the quality of the food and service: Restaurant Kazo @ Le Méridien Riyadh (25. January 2023)
Since there were just two options for the evening, and since the Kazo menu was somewhat more appealing to me, I decided to give the Kazo another try and went for the “papaya salad” to start with – which was quite lovely. Also, nicely spicy, but the waiter had asked specifically if I wanted the […]
