A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We went to this restaurant for a late lunch after visiting the Jumeirah Mosque.
Got a latte, and garlic butter shrimp for an appetizer.
For mains, ended up doing their take on Italian (as you may notice the cuisine I put for this restaurant is Arabic) did the truffle penne pasta with chicken, and a chicken pizza. Overall, food was meh (wasn’t bad but would choose another place to eat). I will say the layout of the restaurant was nice.
Stopped by here for a late lunch. They had all sorts of cuisine, but mainly stuck with Italian.
For drinks got one of their vodka based drinks from their all day happy hour menu. I actually enjoyed it.
For lunch got the croquettes, pepperoni pizza (which was different because it had no tomato sauce, and had potatoes underneath the pepperoni), and the pesto pasta. All great choices (croquettes were a bit too salty though). Would come back again to try the other drinks and food.
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.
We twenty to this place for dinner because Jason Atherton (head chef of this restaurant) is a Michelin star chef.
This restaurant is in a resort in what we called the “rich” part of Mykonos. You NEED a reservation to get into the resort (it’s guarded by a gate).
For drinks, we got a white wine from Santorini. Also got something called The Avenger (which had a mix of Monkey Shoulder whisky, and some tomato sauce. Almost feel it was derived from a Caesar, but it’s not spicey.
For appetizers, we got a salmon dish, a ham dish, a dish with feta and vegetables in bread, and sea bass with pesto. All great and would get them again.
For the main, we got a medium cooked tomahawk steak, penne with pesto, a Greek salad, and some sort of fish dish. All were great.
For desert, got a white chocolate cake thing. It’s good in small doses (wouldn’t get one for myself).
We came here for dinner on our first night in Mykonos.
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz. For appetizers, we shared a Greek meatball dish called Soutzoukakia. It tasted like a traditional meatball dish, but still pretty good. Also got some fried feta. It was alright, but prefer mozzarella sticks.
For my main, got penne with salmon. It was great, and again, great portion size.
We ended up going to the “Midi” part of Brussels unexpectedly, and wanted Italian food.
Got a chicken penne pasta. Overall, it’s great and I would come back here.
Tried this place for lunch since it was right beside our Airbnb in Brussels.
Overall, it was ok. I would come back if there was nothing else really around.
I got the small pasta with the sauce that says “cream, cheese and bacon” with penne, and added chicken.
Great Italian place at the south side of Central Park.
Ordered an espresso martini to start (which they had a two for one special). Would say it’s the best espresso martini I’ve ever had.
For my main, got a penne vodka pasta with chicken. Solid call. We also had a side of mozzarella sticks (didn’t like how they made them though). Would definitely come back here.
This is one of the restaurants I wanted to try as I was walking along the Embarcadero. I gotta say, not sure if I’d come back, mainly since I didn’t like my main dish.
I got the penne, and asked them to add chicken. I think I was expecting more of a tomato sauce rather than an oil based sauce.
They also do have a full bar, so that is one plus (except no lychee, so I got a lemon drop).
