This was my first time at Boulevard Kitchen, Manzil Downtown Dubai’s chic, Arabesque cafe-style diner. Every Friday, the restaurant does a very elaborate buffet-style brunch which starts at AED 195 per person.

The menu is very Mediterranean, yet apart from the delicious fare, the experience as a whole was uniquely memorable for a number of reasons.

Operation Falafel is on a serious gastronomic mission. This spunky eatery is aiming to reintroduce the flavors of Arabic street food, in the guise of a contemporary dining experience. What’s more, they operate 24/7! Ever faced a serious case of falafel or shawarma cravings at odd hours into the night? Fret not, Operation Falafel is here to the rescue 🙂

Sun& the palm jumeirah review (3)

Sun& is the newest addition to the foodie scene on The Palm, Jumeirah. A creation of UAE’s construction giant Nakheel, the restaurant opened its doors in June this year, and acquired its liquor license in August. Offering a range of tapas-style treats, and very reasonable deals at the bar, Sun& is the ideal place to socialize with friends whilst enjoying breathtaking views of the sunset.
