FOR many Dubai residents it is Brunchology that put the stylish Yalumba restaurant on their radar. That, in turn, has alerted many down the years to the charms and numerous dining options available at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, the hotel that houses both the outlet and its famous Saturday fixture. We sampled both Yalumba’s ‘Bolli’ brunch and the broader resort over a weekend and discovered something rather special…

IN three busy years Bombay Borough has made its name by celebrating, reinterpreting and infusing Indian staples and delicacies with bold new ideas. And it goes a step further during the next month as it celebrates its third anniversary with a savvy bespoke menu alongside regular imaginative offerings. In a week when India celebrated its Republic Day, we visited this DIFC bar and restaurant for fine, thrilling food that both embraces and is inspired by the country.
OVER the years pub brand Mr Toad’s has established itself as a reliable spot for sports, drinks and a good feed in an easy-going atmosphere. Now one of the biggest venues under the respectable reptile’s name has launched a brunch that will tick the boxes of folk seeking comfort food and friendly vibes. When UK hotel brand Premier Inn opened its doors in Dubai’s Barsha Heights it brought with it another hospitality name known to plenty of expats and other city dwellers.
IT must be tough trying to conjure up a unique selling point to make a freshly-minted hotel destination stand out in Dubai. But the recently opened Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, The Palm manages to not only bring something different to the city’s inimitable islands address…it leaves a very memorable impression. IN a global city with no shortage of hotels and resorts it can take a lot to rise above an increasingly crowded roll call of holiday and staycation options.
Yet the Taj Exotica gives anyone familiar with the UAE’s vast hospitality offering plenty to ponder and savour as a destination of depth and choice. WITH record temperatures also currently toasting cities in the Land of the Rising Sun the scorching Dubai summer can only add to the authenticity of Japanese restaurant and bar Ikigai. Then again, even if it was snowing outside this Marina marvel, the fab food served up here could convince most tastebuds they had travelled a few thousand miles east. IT is amazing where a short lift ride can take you…
In the case of Ikigai, ascending just one floor transports you from modern Dubai hotel lobby to what could be a cosy, night-time Japanese street. In a city that thrives on creating experiential dining scenarios, the Ikigai attention to detailed decor is backed up by a menu that also delivers the real deal. SOFITEL Dubai Downtown last year celebrated its fifth birthday. And while much has changed beyond the property, stylish luxury remains the constant within its walls. LIVE in Dubai long enough and it is all too easy to get used to the dramatic and often evolving skyline that defines the city for so many.
As the electronic curtains of suite 1501 slowly ease open the full drama of Sheikh Zayed Road and yonder is there to remind of the dynamic contrast on offer. IN a city always on the look out for the next big thing the Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers is a symbol of timeless hospitality. It is also something of a re-assuring constant in an ever-changing leisure landscape. That doesn’t mean to say this queen of the Creek is either resting on its laurels and standing still...
DUBAI has a knack of 'transporting' us to other locations without leaving the city...a place that has a habit of making us feel like we are somewhere else for a day or an evening. Distillery is arguably one such venue, combining the edgy stripped back setting of a New Orleans speakeasy or a New York warehouse with the kind of hospitality we’ve come to expect of Dubai.
