Quotes

"This time we go to the Burj Khalifa in the one-star restaurant. Armani Ristorante. This is the highest building on planet earth and it has a lot of restaurants."

"We are being greeted by a silent and empty dining area. But in return it is beautiful."

"If it wasn't obvious by the name of the restaurant it is Italian cuisine. The chef is Giovanni Pappi. A true Italian gentleman."

"We start the meal with some Italian classics. Breadsticks, different breads and olive oil. Next we had different Italian masterpieces. For example, with allozzanato, tortelli and risotto."

"Next we had different Italian masterpieces. For example, with allozzanato, tortelli and risotto. When it comes to Italian cuisine you expect these characteristic Mediterranean flavors. Unfortunately we didn't get it this time. That might have a special reason. The chef announced his leaving two days before we came here. That was sensible on the meal. The excitement just wasn't there."

"There was someone who saved the day. This gentleman, a true Italian. He had this kind of unbelievable energy and vibe which I enjoyed so much. Genuine smiles, nice movements, high-end hospitality."

"The meal itself wasn't that sharp for me. But the service on the other hand was exceptional as soon as he showed up."

The experience is both soothing and memorable, rounding out a day of diverse culinary adventures across Dubai."

"In the next restaurant, I'm gonna do something I usually don't. I will only eat vegetables. Because our way leads to Avatara, located on Dubai Hills Estate. This is a One Michelin star Indian restaurant."

Happy Noodles & 欢喜面馆

Dubai

Chinese

Ditch The Silver

"Happy Noodles delivers a punchy, affordable Chinese street food experience right in the heart of Dubai. The reviewer was impressed by the value—large portions of chicken dumplings and slow-braised beef noodles for under 30 dirhams. The standout was the intense, numbing mala spice in the broth, which left a lasting impression. Despite the bustling, noisy setting and the challenge of eating without splashing, the flavors and authenticity made it a memorable stop on the cheap eats tour."
