Jan 21 Third time's a charm at Distrikt?

Asian Flavors, Food Hall, Restaurant Reviews, Pub Grub, Nightlife, Mexican Flavors, Mediterranean Flavors, Japanese

I’m not prone to get excited about places that don’t spell their names properly, and no I’m not old fashioned - it’s just that gimmicks like that (that used be cool in say the 90’s) are pretty much played out. Anyhoo….

So out with the old and in with the new as they say and the addition of Raffles to the Palm is a power move that certainly raises the stakes. With that said and as a big fan of Raffles in Singapore, I was always going to venture back to this beautiful, opulent venue to see what’s been going on.

From Professional snowboarder in Colorado to head chef of Nobu and battler of Bad Bobby Flay on Iron Chef, seems Akira Back has an interesting story and with the W Palm finally opening we just had to check it out.

So The Pointe is starting to hit its straps now, will many outlets finally up an running. One of the much awaited venues to open its doors is the Asian District. Based around the idea of a Hawker Hall and taking notable design cues from the likes of Mr. Miyagi’s, the Asian District presents a large and open format eatery that showcases cuisine from Japan, China, Thailand, Singapore, Korea and Vietnam.

Jan 6 Seaside Splendor at Villamoré

Mediterranean Flavors, Seaside

Don’t you just love it when you discover a place that just gets it? Villamore is by no means the first or only water side venue that is pitched towards to the premium end of the scene but where others have either come across as too pretentious or not quite on point…

Nightlife, American Flavors

So the much vaunted Pointe on the Palm has finally opened and along with it, a whole host of new restaurants. As far as the destination goes, you could think of it as Club Vista Mare on steroids. The Pointe is not a small locale and when fully up and running is said to have no less than 100 restaurants. The most complete of these thus far seems to be the Chicago Meatpackers Bar & Grill

Now let’s be honest, there are a lot of misses when it comes to attempts at character led dining destinations in Dubai, but this little Miss isn’t one to be missed….

I’m always on the prowl for a few things, a cool spot for sun-downers and Mexican being at the top of the list. Luchador it seems then, is excatly the kind of joint I’m looking for.

Nov 12 Great? British Restaurant

Annonymous Eater

Restaurant Reviews, Pub Grub, British

The Great British Restaurant promises to bring the absolute best of British cuisine to the table along with a selection of classics with a unique twist - all with fantastic views of course. Upon arrival it is immediately apparent that a sincere effort has been put into the look and feel of the restaurant, it is dripping with style and offers a lush yet refined visual-scape that sets the tone perfectly for a lovely afternoon or evening. It is truly impressive.
