One of the things that I really actually quite like about living in a COVID-19 world is that places are a bit quieter. I love to go out and catch up with girls, but there was little to no point sometimes because places are too loud either with music or chatter. Covid and the new…

Expo 2020, in 2021
Back when I was still fairly new to Dubai, it was announced that the UAE had won it’s bid to host Expo 2020. I really didn’t understand all the fuss. All I knew was that the rent prices suddenly went up which was dumb given it wasn’t for another 8 or 9 years. I remember…
DIY Dining!
This was an absolutely random find, but possibly one of my favorites ever! A restaurant that lets you play with your food! I know this isn’t a new concept but it is indeed a great one that I need more fun with. As you all know, I like exploring and I will basically try any…
#SaltBaeBurger
It’s always a big deal when a new restaurant opens in DIFC. Who doesn’t like new places to go and try? However, this may be the biggest opening for a while. Forever ago (ok, only a few months) the billboards went up around a closed restaurant space. Not too long after that, rumours started to…
The Two Brewers, Windsor
After our incredibly long walk down the aptly named “Long Walk” in Windsor Great Park, we were thrilled to see that literally next to the Castle was the pub we were booked into for lunch. The Two Brewers is absolutely one of those ‘local knowledge’ places.
Burgers & Bubbles
So it turns out that there is a really good reason that I don’t drink during the week. I am too old and my hangovers are way too bad. That said, I had such a great night at the Firebird Diner that I only marginally care how rough I feel right now! Firebird Diner is…
Because they don’t care anymore…
As you will have heard by now, The Ivy in Emirates Towers is closing it’s doors on 31st December. There are a myriad of rumours going around as to why this is happening, none of which I am going to repeat on here as some of them could be slightly libelous at best!! What I can tell…
Lunch at The Ivy? Why not!
One of the fun things to do for guests when they visit you in Dubai is take them to named restaurants. The likes of Nobu and Haakasan are easy to get to and fairly affordable for a special treat. The Ivy happens to be very close to where I work, and easy to get to…
Downtown Touristing
As explained in my previous post (here), my best friend of 15yrs is visiting me in Dubai. Since I know how I feel after an over night flight back from Jo’burg, I decided that we would have a nice quiet little look around Downtown and the Dubai Mall. However, I hadn’t factored in “us”. The…
Saturday Brunch at Nineteen, Address Montgomerie
What an absolute pleasure to be able to write what is going to be an entirely positive post! I have nothing but good things to say about this weekends brunching overindulgence! I’ve been to Nineteeen at the Address Montgomerie more times than I care to admit. Each time I hoped it would be as good as…
