think i poasted somewhere else, pierchic is apparently 6,000 dhs...ffs, who would pay that...everywhere seems to be a rip off...

i know, it's mad...for a five course set menu, but bloody hell...even jambase has more than doubled it's price this year, 1,400 dhs...

though i just heard that mina al salaam are reducing brunch in the new year from 495 to 400 dhs...so they must have felt the pinch recently...

Been to Pier Chic once..total rip off...never again.:curse: I think the high price is partly due to the place being the best seat in town to see the huge fireworks display off the Burj al Arab and Madinat area.

Even the new Dubai Marina Yacht Club is asking AED 1,121 for a six course dinner including Wagyu beef, foie gras and specially selected vintage wines. They are also offering an alternative, a six course dinner including Wagyu beef and foie gras AT MIDNIGHT at AED 595, with jazz entertainment. But all the fireworks will be along the beaches.

Daughter arrives home after 3 weeks in Oz (hurray, can't wait) around 7pm NYE - so it's home for us with the kids, lots of home brew (yum yum) and a 14 year old who will no doubt want to talk all night about her great holiday!

Anyone in Riyadh at a lose end - our house, buffet and as much home brew as you can drink for the ridiculously cheap price of 2500sr per person Well, got to pay for that holiday in Oz somehow

Have a good one where ever you are.
