If you are looking for an intimate, cosy venue for a date or celebration with cabaret and entertainment – Taikun is it for you. We went over one Friday evening, to review the venue over dinner and drinks. Excited as always, as I do love dinner shows – the music, the dance, the drama. Here’s […]

We returned to Le Rose on a Tuesday evening, to review their Moules et Frites night. Mussels and fries, for those who are not well-versed in french (*waves*, me!). Went with a girlfriend this time – as it’s not just a date night spot, is it? It’s just a nice, intimate place to go catch […]

We returned to Eauzone one fine school night, all excited and dressed up for a much-awaited date night. One&Only Royal Mirage’s modern asian beachside restaurant had recently introduced a new menu. It would be our first time dining there without the little people, which also means we can actually look at the food, eat it […]

There is a new French restaurant in town, and it’s called Le Rose Dubai. We braved the Sheikh Zayed Road traffic one Thursday evening to review the newly opened venue. It was Steak et Frites night – which you would know as ‘Steak and Fries’ – french-style, of course. How was the venue? And what […]

Well, you must have been to Address Beach Resort by now? Or at least seen (endless) reels taken by their outdoor terrace. It is definitely a stunning spot, credits to the beautiful Sails of the Future sculpture, designed by Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej on a water feature. How about having afternoon tea here? Let’s […]

Though we have been to the Four Seasons, it would be our first time walking into their gardens, and to dine in Sea Fu. As you would expect from the Four Seasons – their gardens are carefully manicured and every corner appears to have been designed for that picture-perfect snapshot. Add in those fluffy clouds […]

Nice to return to Folly after a very early ladies night in the summer. This time for the launch of “Souk Madinat’s favourite rooftop terrace” – yes I stole the tagline from the invite. The rooftop is quite dreamy in the evenings, isn’t it? You can’t really get that in any other spot in Dubai […]

And……. it’s winter. Sundowners season, all over again. And where is the best spot on the Palm for that? If you ask me, I will likely tell you – Palm West Beach 😉 Earlier this week, we went over to February 30 at 4pm in the afternoon for an early date to review the newly […]

It was only appropriate to dine in the newly reopened Rang Mahal on Diwali. By chance – honestly, as we had to reschedule the initially booking. I’ll put my hands up here – I am no expert when it comes to indian cuisine. So please take note of this, when you are reading this review […]

Introducing Ula, a new beachside restaurant situated at the very end of Palm West Beach where Dukes the Palm sits. It replaces West 14th – one of the first restaurants we visited many years ago when we were fresh to the Dubai dining scene. I had seen images of Ula online and was quite excited […]

First time I saw a bit of Bella was whilst sneaking into Caroline Stanbury’s instastories. I saw the shiny copper plates on the wall, the Dubai skyline and was thinking – ah, that looks nice, where is this? Bit of clicking and googling took me to Bella and the fact that it was in Business […]

How would you like to have a 3-course meal, perched 50 metres in the air – on a structure that is being hung off a crane? Here’s Dinner in the Sky – located right by Sky Dive Dubai. A Dubai ‘bucket list’ item for sure – particularly as it does come with a price tag. […]

Shortly after SLS opened its doors here in Dubai, social media went into a little explosion of its own. There were so many reels of Fi’lia and their rooftop pool – that steady camwork leading out to their terrace, I can just picture Fi’lia’s staff shaking their heads watching guest after guest collecting content for […]

Afternoon Tea at the Burj Khalifa has always been a bucket list item for me. Up there it is appropriately called High Tea – currentlyAug2021 the second highest lounge you could have afternoon tea at, after The Lounge on Level 153. Well, we have yet to check out The Lounge, so let’s settle with Level […]

2023 Update : Please note that CMP is currently closed. Picture this. You are sat in a leather-clad booth with your other half, one hand holding a glass of red. There is live jazz in front of you. The girl sings to familiar songs – from Nat King Cole, to Mariah Carey, whilst the talented […]

Live music is back. Aren’t we all glad about that? 🙂 Don’t know about you but we definitely are. Happy for those who perform, and happy for us as well. Off we went last Monday to Bluewaters for a review of Cove Beach’s Unplugged session. It’s not often we book the nanny for an evening […]
