Outstanding service and great meat: Restaurant Attic (20. January 2018)
The Attic remains a great place for meat – much better than many proclaimed meat restaurants I’ve visited in Manama. The place was a bit empty due to the sandstorm and inside the climate was a bit too chilly but we were warmly welcomed by the waitress, Anna, who was very caring and lovely. I […]
Relaxation with a shisha – and patience: Equestrian Lounge @ The St. Regis Dubai, Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club (19. January 2018)
Every Polo club seems to have an Equestrian Lounge – something I wasn’t aware of until recently. The place is located in the middle of the St. Regis in a little atrium so it becomes a bit chilly in the evening. The service is attentive and very friendly overall. However, the coordination is not really […]
Outstanding brunch in a unique setting: The St. Regis Polo Brunch @ The St. Regis Dubai, Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club (19. January 2018)
Friday brunches are a big thing in the Middle East and Dubai isn’t any short in that regard. Upon checking in, I was invited by the Front Office Manager to enjoy their brunch. Quite a generous offer in the first place as the brunch with the regular alcohol accounts for 425 AED which is quite […]
Overpriced but with exquisite service: Restaurant Primavera @ The Ritz Carlton (16. January 2018)
I have heard quite a bit about the Primavera in the Ritz Carlton and that it is apparently among the better restaurants on the island. And frankly, I understand now why. Once you’ve been seated, you are attended by incredibly friendly waiters and “spread & bread” is served right away – grissini, focaccia, and regular […]
Empty restaurants with average food: Restaurant Baan Saeng Thai (15. January 2018)
Due to the fact that this place had been recommended to me, I was surprised upon entering. It looked not very appealing plus it was absolutely empty. There were literally no other guests there but us. At least we had the full attention of the service. I went for the “vegetable spring rolls” (2.200 BHD) […]
Decent afternoon shisha place: Beit 7 (13. January 2018)
The Beit 7 was listed as one of the best shisha places in Kuwait City if you can believe google. And frankly, to some degree I get it but then again I have been to better places when it comes to enjoying a shisha. However, the “Pomegranate Juice” (2.250 KWD) was a bit disappointing as […]
One of the best food experiences in the GCC: Restaurant Dar Hamad (12. January 2018)
I did not exactly know what to expect from Dar Hamad as I had booked it based on a recommendation. And I must say, I was absolutely positively surprised. The restaurant is probably one of the best I have been to since I have arrived in the region. As a greeting from the kitchen, “bread, […]
Great shisha location next to the sea: Layali Al Helmeya (12. January 2018)
My travel guide recommended the Layali Al Helmeya for a shisha – and after walking 10 kilometers through the city of Kuwait on crutches, I decided that it was time to take a break. The restaurant is located by the beach so if you are there early enough during the afternoon while the sun is […]
