Dinner review: Asado, Downtown Dubai
In South America, ‘Asado’ is a colloquial term for barbecue, but don’t let the name deceive you: Asado in Downtown Dubai is very much a fine dining restaurant.

Dinner review: Il Borro Tuscan Bistro Dubai
In its first venture outside of Italy, Il Borro is a Tuscan estate owned by the Ferragamo family, steeped with over 1,000 years of culinary heritage (and trust me, on taste of the food here, and you can really tell). Perched idyllically on the side of Jumeirah Al Naseem’s turtle rehabilitation lagoon, Il Borro offers a warm and welcoming, homely feel with a neutral colour scheme throughout.

Dinner review: Bistrot Bagatelle
On the surface, Bistrot Bagatelle in Dubai’s Fairmont hotel looks like a traditional French restaurant. There’s white table cloths, matching early 20th century décor and a brassy French singer, crooning jazz and blues songs late into the night...
