World Travel Guide Serves Up Some Whacked Dubai Eating Suggestions

Here is a sampling of their article:

Personal Recommendations

Café Chic
With a double Michelin-starred head chef, Philippe Gavreau, at the helm this hotel eatery really cannot go wrong. Mix in top quality ingredients, smooth service and a menu that cuts deftly between the classics and some daring variations and this is a top dining choice. Relax afterwards in the cigar bar for supreme decadence.

Le Meridien Hotel, Garhoud
Tel: (04) 217 0000.
Website: www.starwoodhotels.com
Price: $$$

India Palace
India Palace is very popular with the local expat community. The emphasis on Rajasthani cooking is backed up by themed décor and artefacts shipped in from the region. The open kitchen is a nice touch, as are the family booths upstairs, with privacy available at no extra charge. The excellent-value menu features starters such as lentil soup and prawn bisque with fresh vegetables, while mains include chicken and vegetarian kebabs and a range of delicately spiced curries. Alcohol is not available but the lassis are excellent, especially the unusual lassi seasoned with salt.

Opposite Dubai Marine Hotel, Bur Dubai
Tel: (04) 286 9600.
Price: $$

Luciano’s
Very good Italian cooking without having to commit a Mafia-style bank job to afford it. This unpretentious restaurant, poolside at the Habtoor Hotel, does all the Italian staples like lasagne and risotto with a minimum of fuss, relying on fresh ingredients and solid cooking to do the talking. A highlight on the dessert menu is the decadent ‘Luciano’s Cake’, a real calorific treat.

Habtoor Grand Resort and Spa
Tel: (04) 399 5000.
Website: www.habtoorhotels.com
Price: $$

The Manhattan Grill
The signature restaurant at the Grand Hyatt Dubai is the Manhattan Grill. Housed in the atrium of the hotel, this stylish restaurant is a firm favourite with the local smart set. The steaks are to die for, with fresh prime beef flown in from the USA. Other offerings on the menu include local and international seafood and grilled lamb. Wine is available by the glass or the bottle, with both New and Old World tastes catered for.

Grand Hyatt Dubai, Al Qutaeyat Road
Tel: (04) 317 1234.
Website: www.dubai.grand.hyatt.com
Price: $$$

The Noodle House
The Noodle House is a funky and laid-back eating venue. In contrast to the stuffy business restaurants that tend to be associated with this part of Dubai, the emphasis here is on light, tasty food served up in relaxed surroundings. Patrons can forget table reservations and join the rest of the diners at the long communal tables in enjoying some delightful Asian noodle soups. Also served are spring rolls and more substantial dishes, such as sweet and sour chicken. The desserts are a bit hit and miss but, for a quick and cheerful meal, The Noodle House is hard to beat.

Emirates Towers Hotel
Tel: (04) 319 8088.

Caution or you will find yourself with a bad/average overpriced meal.

    This is to the moderator:

    Is this the last story to be posted? I'm sure I checked the site the other day and there were about 5 or 6 stories after this one. That was the only time I've seen anything other than this. Could there be a problem with my browser or the server? Or were those stories removed and nothing posted since?
