Quotes

"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."

"We start the dinner with a Krug 169. This is the way a dinner should start. The first six courses arrived at the same time. I love eating with my hands, so this was pure joy for me. A bamban, a fritter, a cookie, a tart, a raw steak and a taco."

"Next was an amazing drink created by the general manager. Surprisingly strong opening. Took all my words away."

"We went on with salad, watermelon and kohlrabi. Then dumpling onion and kokam. I gotta say, these dishes are very creative. And I'm quite amazed so far. Without the protein, these dishes are complete and delicious. Beautiful play with the textures and temperatures all along the menu."

"Meanwhile, I took a good look at the interior. It's not luxurious, but it's colorful, playful, full of tiny details. I love the peacock. And it's everywhere. Fits perfectly into this atmosphere."

"We get a palate cleanser sorbet, then a kebab made of jackfruit and mustard. I'm simply blown away how meaty it is without any meat."

"We go through the dessert. And what is closing the meal for us is this little flower that blooms in warm water. This place is a perfect example that something can be"

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."

"Osaki translates to hidden gem and it is indeed. The interior is minimalistic and calming. Very zen. Just what you would expect from a traditional Japanese restaurant. It only has 9 seats, so make sure you book your seat before coming here."
