A Leisure Guide for Families in Dubai
Have you been to Canary Club? Have you heard of them? We went once, many months ago for their brunch with the family and loved it. Our friends have done their ladies night as well (missed that one, unfortunately!) So when we were doing the business lunch round up we knew we had to reach […]

The beach area next to Jones the Grocer was under construction for a very long time. We were wondering – what’s going on? Say hello to Zing, Hilton Palm Jumeirah’s own Beach Bar, to add to a number of other restaurants in its property. We went over to the Hilton end of January to review […]

Why haven’t we been to Raffles the Palm before this? What an exquisite property – the interior, the landscaping, their gardens – just beautiful. As we walked into the lobby, we were in awe – the sparkling christmas tree right in the middle and a giant chandelier right above. We have entered a castle, haha. […]

Somewhere in Bluewaters – lies an automative-themed restaurant called DRVN by Porsche. It would be our first time checking it out, when we went over mid-summer to review the venue. Cars, coffee, and art – what an interesting cafe concept. Here’s what to expect from DRVN by Porsche.

Just before the little man turned 2, we thought it be fun that we took him to a family restaurant that had a live band to celebrate. After some research, I remembered Wavehouse, which I had popped in once before, for a wander. Wavehouse is one of those venues which ticks most boxes. It’s got […]

With so many new restaurants replacing old ones in Mall of the Emirates – I wasn’t too sure where to bring the folks for lunch. Had a browse on the Entertainer App and noticed that there’s a new(ish) cafe that was in THAT Concept Store. Yes the store name is in caps, I’m not shouting. […]

We drove up to Business Bay one Saturday to meet another family for brunch – this time to review Billy’s Brunch at Bai Bar. It was one of those weekends in March where we were sceptical what the weather was going to be like. It was going to be either hot and icky (like the […]

Mezzerie has finally relaunched their Saturday brunch, after a very long hiatus. Surf and Turf brunch it’s called – and guess what, kids under the age of 10 eat free, with complimentary access to Coco’s Kids Club. We went over one Saturday to review the brunch with the little people – all excited to see […]

It was nice to return to Jones the Grocer with the family after having been there a couple of times beforehand. It was the first time trying out their menu properly over dinner and drinks whilst soaking in the golden rays of the sun just before it slid down over the horizon. Ah, I love […]

Whilst the evening didn’t start out right, as we had planned to stay in the Kid’s Club with both our girls for half an hour before dinner started …. this was eventually made up by great service (and food) at Flow Kitchen 🙂 And of course, an hour of peace and quiet during dinner as […]

We shifted to a table in one of the corners of the restaurant. Parked the pram, sat the 2-year old down and started to go through the menu. As we tried to settle down, I could not help but notice that the lady at the table next to us was staring at us. The littlest […]

I was going to put “The Address Boulevard” as well, but the title just sounded a little bit odd. Don’t you love what they’ve named the new restaurant in the newly opened Address Boulevard? The Restaurant. I can go on and on about the name, but let’s move on to one of the many highlights of […]

I have a soft spot for the Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort. They have a fine selection of restaurants (Rhodes Twenty10’s our favourite!), and is one of many resorts we would recommend for a staycation. During our stay there few summers back, we had breakfast at the then called ‘Brasserie’. So when it was revamped, and […]

With the doctor telling us that I’ve got ‘a few days to go’ before the little girl makes her debut, we decided to bring forward our date night at the Burj Al Arab. Anytime now, she says. I found out about the deal a few weeks ago when I could not sleep, and decided to […]

We watched as this new cafe slowly appeared behind the Marriott : Counter Culture Cafe, hmm. It’s a 5 minutes walk from home, yet over the last two months since it has launched there was never any talk about it from friends, nor did it ever appear on my Entertainer App or any other deal […]
