IT seemed a curious juxtaposition at first…creating a venue based around a famous Greek island on the 46th floor of an Indian-branded hotel. Yet, Paros has always managed to evoke Aegean vibes and flavours to great effect.  And with the Dubai favourite having undergone a recent makeover, a revisit seemed in order.

IT’S not every day that food and surroundings transport you to somewhere exotic so effectively. But new restaurant MEI does exactly that with style and finesse.  As arrival routes go, even the short walk to this classic Asian venue builds up to something special.
From the distinguished frontage of host hotel Jumeirah Mina Al Salam, through marble-floored corridors, and down a plush carpeted staircase, you feel your surroundings evolve as you enter what feels more like a destination than a restaurant. It is 5,955 km from Dubai to Munich… But for the rest of this month that distance is being squeezed as the spirit of Oktoberfest takes over one of Dubai Marina’s prime vantage points.  HIGH BRAU: Lo+Cale's Oktoberfest fixture overlooks Dubai Marina Bavarian revelry will rule the terrace at Lo+Cale, the all-day dining venue at Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina, as authentic brews and food re-create the vibe of one of the world’s best-known annual fixtures.
IT’S hard to believe Buddha-Bar Dubai has been bringing its classy culinary good times to the city for 20 years. Yet, after seeing many other F&B names arrive and depart, this enduring hospitality haven is not only still here, it is entering a bright new era as a cherished player on the Dubai food scene.  This includes applying its trademark eclectic ambience to a stylish new night and a vivacious revived Saturday brunch. MustDoDubai went for a look ... and enjoyed fabulous feed with vivacious vibes.
SUPERYACHTS and Dubai have a tendency to work very well together… And now the 115ft Santorini is busy adding further glamour to the city and stylish new destination Marsa Al Arab Marina.  The hard-to-miss vessel is the jewel of the fleet for BENO, a lifestyle brand that is fast becoming known for “redefining” premium travel experiences.
DUBAI has thousands of places to feed and surely just about every cuisine and combination covered. Then again…inventive city newcomer Romeo Lane has arrived to give us often spoiled food fans something unexpected to swoon over.  THERE have been some daring intercontinental food collaborations down the years.
Yet, the notion of pairing flavour elements from India and cooking styles from Japan might seem like pushing boundaries beyond common sense. But that is exactly what clever, classy new Dubai restaurant Romeo Lane is pioneering - and it bridges the cuisines of these very different nations with flourish and finesse. DUBAI Marina has never been short on dining and entertainment options… Now it has a new triple level venue that encompasses both elements and more, under one stylish roof. MustDoDubai checked into District 8 and discovered a place that isn’t easy to forget.  DISTRICT 8 dominates a prominent plot at the end of Marina Walk - awash with a colourful exterior that acts like a beacon.
Dazzling white yachts moored on the adjacent tide set the scene for a charismatic, exuberant three-storey hospitality venture that tenders three very different experiences. SOME of the speediest and most handsome animals in the region are back in action - and that means a return to one of Dubai’s favourite nights out. MustDoDubai pulled on the old glad rags and went across town to check out the stylish opening fixture of the annual Dubai Racing Carnival.  THE going is good once again at the stunning Meydan Racecourse...
