From well-worn trekking paths to unsullied beaches, and sweet-smelling mango orchards, there’s plenty to discover here
There's not a starter we didn't like, and we tried quite a few. The Super Green Hummus was addictive; the Chicken Bang Bang and This is Jack baos gone too soon, and the salads made us want to recreate them at home. The mains couldn't outshine the starters, but were done well. Desserts took the cake!
Honestly, there were points in the evening, when Christmas favourites were playing over the speakers, and the city lights twinkled outside our large window view, that we felt like we were playing a part in one of those classy restaurant scenes you see in movies. What a vibe!
We loved how chilled out the servers were; none of that obsequious hovering that passes off as good service in some parts of town. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, dressed really smartly, happy to chat and happy to serve. Good stuff!
Very well done, right down to the baos, which were served on little wooden stands, as opposed to plates. The Waffle Apple Pie looked like the star of the show: shaped like a cone stuffed with black sesame ice cream and apple wonton, it came with a syringe of salted caramel!
The vibe is excellent, the food really good, and we're sure there are pricier restaurants at DIFC. But for serving portions suitable for 'one', we felt the prices may be a tad higher. The experience is still not one we'd miss on that account though - and neither should you!
