Lunch Date

Re: Lunch Date
So I'm meeting a nice young lady tomorrow for lunch and i'm looking for some suggestions as where's nice.... but not too OTT.... somewhere chilled and casual. We're both currently on a bit of a health kick and I am planning not to booze until I fly out to the UK at the end of the month, so somewhere avoiding all the brunch crowd would be good. That said booze should be an option in case we change out mind and want to get swallyed!
So:
- Nice but not OTT
- Casualish
- Away from the brunch crowd
Somewhere a bit different would be nice.
Would rather it not be waaaaay down in the Marina / Palm but not totally of limits.
Was maybe thinking Jetty Lounge.
Cheers

Folly is the new place opened by Scott & Nick, formerly of Table 9. Think high end gastro pub. Plenty of cocktails (plus great wines) and their food is amazing.

Why not just skip lunch and take her up the Khalifa?

Is Left Bank still open, always great to sit outside, snack and chat, and a beer is available.
I wouldn't go somewhere too formal, so a posh restaurant isn't right.
Where did you "meet" her - hope it's not like in Benidorm when Geoff Maltby meets Lesley.....

McGettigans, Trader Vics - posh? Maybe for you. Folly is smart-ish but not at all stuffy.

Calling a place 'Folly' in Dubai of all places is just asking for the divine intervention of Fate.... in a not very pleasant way

Re: Lunch Date
WHat about Belgian Beer Cafe terrace? Or is there a brunch on?
I think the one at the Madinat is quite nice outside isn't it?
