This summer has been laidback and we decided to take advantage by checking out the brunch at the Farriers restaurant within the Meydan hotel. The brunch is spread out across a large area and has copious amounts of food of international cuisines (Chinese, Japanese, Indian, British and Arabic are just...
This month, we visited Leonardo, an Italian restaurant (obviously!) tucked into the Stella di Mare Dubai Marina. The restaurant décor offers a welcoming, pleasant take on the many lesser known inventions of Leonardo da Vinci, rather than his famous artworks during the Renaissance. The restaurant is not too big and...
Recently we made our way to Babel, a seafood Lebanese restaurant situated by the sea at La Mer. Babel is eclectic in appearance: it appeals to all, in terms of décor, ambiance and food. The food touches the core of Lebanese cuisine but is presented with a contemporary twist by...

Great food, a fantastic view and wonderful service, all contribute to a fabulous experience. And these days the experience is what everyone is tweeting/commenting/posting about on social media, isn’t it? We visited Fogo de Chão, a Brazilian steakhouse this month and we saw a fair share of patrons frantically taking...
As wicked as the name sounds, Crazy Fish must not be taken literally. The menu is quite sane, I assure you, and equally delicious too. Hidden away around the corner from Beefbar, this haunt for seafood lovers greets with a full display of different kinds of seafood. And then your...
