mango tree in the old town is very good (thai)...or medzo in wafi is fab too...

latitudes in jbh does a jazz brunch on a saturday...bubbly and cocktails and a good range of food...

then there's always apres with the view of the ski slope, which tourists seem to like...

i've read great reviews about bistro madeleine in the intercon festival city, and have also heard good things about asado...but haven't been yet...

will see whether i can think of any other suggestions...!

good point

that would be good - but doubt it'll be on saturdays too...

mango - not been there - how does it compare to the Thai at Al Qasr?... medzo been too often!
latitudes in jbh does a jazz brunch on a saturday...bubbly and cocktails and a good range of food... this might work...hmm....

will see whether i can think of any other suggestions...!

Asado at the Palace Hotel in Old Town do a Saturday Brunch. The food was wonderful when I was there, and there's a good view of the Burj Dubai - construction everywhere else though...

I've got a bunch of people in town, most of which I've not met, and I'm picking lunch venue on a Saturday....

These guys are only in town for 2 days and I'm wanting to take them somewhere with great food, not too formal, if possible with some great feature, like a good view or something cool... price not too much of an issue, but it's lunch so not really thinking Verre or Raflets!

I'm struggling!

I've not been to Frankie's yet - is that a good option?
Vu's maybe too pricy and don't fancy the Burj....
Eau Zone - is this open?

Any suggestions???? Thanks!
