A Leisure Guide for Families in Dubai
It was nice to return to Le Rose in the Address Fountain Views on a Saturday afternoon with friends. This time for brunch, aptly called ‘Le Brunch’. Is it just me but is everything french sounds just a little more posh? 😉 Here’s what to expect from the brunch at Le Rose.

The last time we were at Li Brasil – we had the little people with us. Safe to say I was quite pleased to find out that Brunch Beleza at Li Brasil is strictly adults-only. A chance to relax and have some good lebanese and brazilian food, sip on cocktails and enjoy the view with […]

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 […]

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 […]

If you’ve been stalking following Address Beach Resort’s social media stories, you would have seen endless videos of the infinity pool itself. There is a lot of coverage of the pool, and for good reasons. It does make you think though – is the Address Beach Resort more suited for the adults-only crowd then? Or […]

Whilst we’ve been to the Address Dubai Marina countless times … oh the many ladies nights in my previous life, brunches, afternoon teas, summer camp for the little ones, massage – literally everything the hotel had to offer, we’ve never stayed there. I mean, we live down the road. Plus, we have access to the […]

This one’s our local hangout. Been here so many times as we live in the area – pre-kids and post-kids 🙂 Now that we’re on Privilee, and that we have two extra people to entertain, we’ve been coming back to The Address a lot, lot more. Whilst it’s not one of the more exciting ‘resort-type’ […]

It’s nice when a restaurant is consistent – that’s what I felt from our afternoon tea visit at The Address Boulevard yesterday. We tried the ‘Art Crafted Afternoon Tea’ almost two years ago now (click here) – and returned to review the Chocolate Afternoon Tea. Spent an entire afternoon with mum and the girls. Made […]

The little girl was gifted an All Blacks jersey for her 1st birthday. What a lucky monkey. Even G and I don’t have one (the authentic ones cost a bomb!) 🙂 So, when the Lions tour was on, we knew we had to go out and watch the game with the family. I had no […]

Address Boulevard Dubai opened its door earlier this year. Yes, I know – another Address 🙂 So everyone knows the infamous Address Downtown Dubai which made headlines news NYE 2016. It’s not that one – this is the brand new beautiful property, which is located opposite Fashion parking, and you got it – along the Emaar […]

Picture this. Breakfast in a 5-star hotel which is not even 6-months old. You get to have coffee, or tea, or juice. A buffet spread of cheese and cold cuts, a few hot dishes, selection of pastries and bread made just that morning. A fridge full of home-made yoghurt and fruit, and freshly squeezed juices. […]

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 […]

Few Thursdays back, we were invited to the Churrasco Nights at Cabana, The Address Dubai Mall – renewed for the season. With the guests here and mum keeping them company (as well as our little one), the two of us sneaked away through the mall, to the outdoor pool of the The Address Hotel. Cabana, their […]

Who brings a baby to a media tasting? Me! C’mon to be fair she was asleep the entire night so we’re making the most of the sleepy baby phase. This is not to say that Katana is a baby-friendly venue. It’s a place for adults, for a group of friends (adult friends), dates (with adults), night […]

Few weeks ago I was struggling to find a ladies night spot for Wednesday, so I jumped onto this site and out popped Shades. Ah ha, since when did Shades have a ladies night? 🙂 I emailed them ( as the sceptical person in me does ) to reconfirm, and they repied to say it’s on, woohoo! […]

Few days ago I was not well, came home after work and was laying in bed, resting. My nose was running, my throat was sore, and my body ached 🙁 I started going through all the 241s in my HSBC Entertainer and couldn’t find a single massage suitable for my ‘current state’ i.e pregnant. O […]

It was the girls’ birthday do, and a promo email coincidentally landed in my inbox, stating that there will be a 2 for 1 offer for the Vintage brunch in Fazaris extended to March. This was two weeks ago, so if you can do the maths it was still February 😉 Gave them a call […]

The photos are so pretty, isn’t it. So much more, when you’re actually there 🙂 Yes, it’s quite a girly thing, but I went with G and he was absolutely stuffed. So drag your hubby and your little ones and go have a good afternoon at Al Bayt 😀 This is what you get for 180 […]

6 girls. 24 drinks. A fat juicy steak each. Bill came to be about 170AED per person, which includes a random selection of delicious sides to share. Hmm, not too bad ay, for a school night 🙂 So I’ve seen this Ruth’s Chris Steak House on my facebook wall for ages now. It’s not too far […]

Hmm 🙂 Half watching a random episode of Gossip Girl, half having dinner, and half blogging, hehe. Okay don’t be pc and correct me, it should be one third -.- So 3 days ago we decided to try out another afternoon tea, so out came the Ent app. Other than Kambaa, Al Bayt was in […]
