A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We went here for our last meal in Dubai, which has an excellent view of the Dubai fountains.
Kept it pretty light for this meal. Just got an Aperol Spritz, with wings and beef empanadas. Would come back to this place for drinks and the view (food wasn’t bad, but mainly at a bar level quality).
FYI drink pictured below is a friend’s drink which was a cranberry mule. Apparently it wasn’t the greatest, but my drink was fine.
Came to this restaurant for our last (late) lunch in Dubai. Gotta say this is definitely a place I would recommend.
First, this restaurant is on the 54th floor of a building called the Address Sky View building (which has two towers and, and this restaurant is located on the bridge that connects them). The view itself is awesome, and it does have a south west view for a good sunset photo. Also the elevator ride to the top has a great view (feels like we didn’t need to go to The Frame for the view).
We ended up staying here for almost 3 hours (from 3pm to 5:40pm… sunset is at 5:28pm). Now to get to the food…
For drinks (for descriptions see the menu picture below), I got the cacao hunter, the champagne pina colada, and the crimson sun (basically an Aperol spritz with grape fruit soda), and an ild fashion (which came with my friend’s dessert). The crimson sun I would get again and again. The others I could get again, but would probably try other drinks in the menu first.
For food, all of it was amazing. Definitely best meal in Dubai. Started of with beef bao buns. Best bao buns I’ve ever had. Also got fried calamari, and the fried rice tuna. Both great. For mains, got the sea bass and scallops. Also both great, and the sauce with the scallops was amazing.
For dessert, got the chocolate fondant cake. Thought the restaurants name printed on it was classy. A friend got the churro. The sauces with it (especially the chocolate one) was good. It also came with an old fashion (for two people).
Again, loved this restaurant.
We ended our Dubai Marina walk by going to this cocktail bar on top of a hotel on the sea wall.
They had “happy hour” until 8pm (called summer sunset at this place).
Got a single (Canadian) shot of Glendfidich 12, and a granny Aperol spritz (which has granny green apple syrup). The vibe and view of this place I definitely recommend. Also good drinks overall.
Went to this bar that is right beside our hotel in Doha (it is located in the Alwadi Hotel in Msheireb area).
The view and the music vibe was great (chill house music… more closer to disco house).
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz and Canadian Club
We went here for drinks at sunset, but ended up being pleasantly surprised on several levels.
First, this is located in the 2nd building in Doha, and is on the 61st floor that has an excellent view of the Lusail area of Doha, and also a good sunset view.
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz and a double shot of Canadian Clib (which their shot is close to an American one at 40ml, and at 13.50 USD). Both great.
For food got the Lobster roll. Also really good.
After visiting a mall in Dubai, we decided to check out this restaurant for drinks. It is conveniently located in a Marriott hotel (and you get a 20% discount for being a Marriott Bonvoy Gold member).
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz and a Glenfidech 12 neat.
For appetizers, got the lollipop chicken. Would probably not get that again.
Overall like the vibe and the drinks, so would come back.
We went here for dinner to satisfy a pizza craving.
From a friend who went to Tulum, apparently the. One of the restaurant is like every restaurant in Tulum.
For drinks, ordered an Aperol spritz.
For food, ordered a pepperoni and sausage Neapolitan pizza and a penne with shrimp pasta. Both great choices. (FYI we were going to order calamari, but yelp mentioned not to order it!).
Would come back to this place in a heart beat.
Ate here for a quick bite for Italian food (also near our hotel in Amsterdam).
Got the ravioli and an aperol spritz. Would come back here for a quick bite.
This restaurant was close to our hotel. I think it was good for drinks, but definitely not recommended for food.
The restaurant is by the water which is nice (although you can get foo led if sitting outside).
Ordered the truffle ravioli, and loaded fries. Wasn’t a huge fan of either.
Tried this restaurant in the Marina district in San Francisco. Would definitely come back.
First, their bread was really good. It was fresh, and the garlic butter in came with was great.
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz.
For appetizer, got the meatballs and the gnocchi. Both great.
For my main course, got the seafood linguini. Also great, but wished the scallops were the larger ones (they were just bay scallops).
Finished off with key lime pie. No complaints there.
