Hotel Cartagena. I first went with my bestie Zoe when it had just opened, and liked(ish) it, promised I’d go back and give them another chance once they’d gotten past the teething phase, and then you know, (Dubai) life happened, I got …
I get asked all the time for breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch recommendations, and recently realized that I haven’t written about many brunches over the last year or so because I haven’t really tried many worth writing about. Spoke too soon, because …
I recently wrote about the Friday Brunch at B.B Social Dining at DIFC and how much I absolutely loved it, sure that there can’t possibly be a brunch that beats it on value for money, but lo and behold, then I went …
When BB Social Dining first set up shop two years ago, I was (luckily enough) in more of a going-out-and-trying-new-places phase rather than staying-in-and-trying-new-recipes one, and have loved and recommended it ever since as the most classy yet laid back spot in DIFC for …
Giardino. The all-day-diner that has everything for everyone and is quite possibly Palazzo Versace’s cash cow that got the masses in through the door and granted them affordable access to the luxurious hotel that most can only dream of. Giardino is laden …
Chef Reif Othman is one of Dubai’s most celebrated chefs. He truly is a feather in the culinary hat of MyDubai. As if we weren’t crazy enough about Play as it is, they have now embraced (what is perhaps) Dubai’s favorite institution, and …
Two long weekends in a row? That sounds like a lot of reason to celebrate, yo. If there’s one brunch you NEED to splurge on this month, it has got to be the Friday brunch at Namu in W Hotel Dubai, the …
On a Friday, if I’m not sick in bed with a cold, I’ll be out brunching with M. I know a lot of Dubai-rasied denizens roll their eyes at what a pretentious way that is to spend a weekend, but you what– …
I’m currently recovering from my second cold in one month, and by that I mean by tastebuds are finally back and I was ready to dive into some sushi. Perfect timing, because yesterday I was booked in to try out the Osusume …
Say the words “Family Brunch” and “Kid Friendly” and you’ve lost me. Don’t hate, but seriously why on Earth would anyone without kids want to spend their hard-earned Friday in an endurance test: dining amongst a bunch of squealing pipsqueaks? Sorry doting …
Did I ever tell you how much I love brunch? Only about a hundred million times, I’m sure. Brunch allows me to have a late breakfast and keep grazing till it’s time for lunch and then keep eating till it’s time for …
While I’m super duper excited about Ramadan, I’m not too crazy about buffet lines, and sometimes want options that aren’t entirely Arabesque; which is why it was wildly refreshing to go for the Wednesday evening brunch at Intersect By Lexus the other …
Busaba Eathai will forever hold a super special place in my heart for three reasons: It was where I received my very first tasting invite from and the final push I needed to start a blog. It was the best possible place …
Fridays are for brunches and our brunch of choice last Friday (thanks to a warm tasting invitation), was the newly opened Collective at the Grand Hyatt. As you pull into the Grand Hyatt, you feel less like you’re in Dubai and more …
The Dubai Food Fest 2k16 has officially ended, but is the celebration of food ever really over in Dubai? I think my ever-expanding waistline should answer that question with a big fat NO! Last Friday, my sister and I (who absolutely LOVES …
