The New Beirut
A Review of Acoté, in Mar Mikhael
A great lunch spot with good food, good service, and a not-so-great but charming view.
The 12-Step Program
A Review of Elia, at the Majestic Tower Hotel
Elia is a reflection of its home country – with both its virtues and its vices. Elia si warm, beautiful, it means well, and the people are very friendly (especially the blonde manager). There are some major flaws but nothing it cannot overcome with a 12-step program of its own.
A Whole Bunch of Brunch
A Review of Bubblicious in the Westin, Mina Seyahi
Call me boring, call me un-Dubai, but I’d take a simple plate of scrambled eggs with a side of bacon over this any day of the week.
Success!
A Review of Salero Tapas & Bodega, at the Kempinski MOE
Overall, the food was average. I wouldn’t go back, not even for the thought of sweet cinnamony churros dipped in unctuous hot chocolate. The company however, was definitely stellar.
Raving about Ravi
A Review of Ravi, in Satwa

Boys and their Toys
Men never really grow up. When they’re children, they play, they discover, they get dirty, and then they play some more. They ride bikes, they kick footballs, they eat bugs.

It Ain’t Easy Being Cheesy
A Review of a Grilled Cheese Sandwich Party
One the best ways to enjoy the good things in life. A word of caution: it does take time and effort. Be prepared to put your back into it.
A Wide Spectrum on One
A Review of Spectrum on One, in the Fairmont Dubai
I realized that Spectrum on One is a microcosm of Dubai itself. It has everything you could possibly want and it’s well thought-out. Sure, it’s not the best quality you will ever get but everything is pretty damn good.
Juggling Brunch
A Review of La Posta, in Achrafieh
I wouldn’t say that it was a bad experience, it’s just that nothing made my tummy particularly happy. I must admit, it’s a really great effort on La Posta’s part, but a lot can be improved with just a little butter, salt and pepper.
Family First
A Review of Al Ajami, in Ramlet al Bayda
If I were you I would give this place a try the next time you feel like eating good Lebanese. Let’s support these family-run institutions that choose quality over profit and respect the integrity of the food their parents cooked at a time when food wasn’t reheated in microwaves and didn’t come in cardboard boxes.
Worth a Taste
