New to Dubai?
This week I suggest Tre : straight from Roberto’s in the DIFC. This 3 storey restaurant will open this week. Roberto Rella is now setting up a new home on the 49th floor of the Radisson Royal Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road. 3 different types of vibe to match 3 different types of cuisine. I am attending a media preview on Wednesday so I can follow up with a review at a later date; its bound to be Tre good!
Best for a first date under Dhs 500
Definitely Busaba Eathai: a Thai chain from London which is finally in Dubai at the Beach end of JBR. With communal tables, good, modern Thai food; it is a great buzzy restaurant. Sadly no Singha Thai beer and I suggest you don’t valet park your car!
Best for Breakfast
No need for lunch if you eat Breakfast at Gluten Free Cafe, the Sweet Connection in DIFC. Enjoy Gluten Free Quiche with roasted vegetables and healthy egg white omlette, spinach, chicken. Breakfast is available all day in the week, but closed at the week ends.
Best in Category for a particular type of cuisine so this week it’s Chinese
Xiao Fei Yang or Little Fat Sheep ! Authentic Hot Pot restaurant in International City!
