<\/p>\nRemember when it used to be sunny in Dubai and we used to enjoy a nice al fresco meal washed down with \u2018grape\u2019 and not washed out with rain? Ah, happy memories.\u00a0Apparently it\u2019s Spring, so I\u2019m sure you will soon be able to dust off your summer dresses and shorts; so where to go?\u00a0<\/p>\n
There are many impressive options out there, but you\u2019ll be hard pushed to find a better view than the romance and spectacle of the Burj Khalifa and the dancing fountains. The restaurants and bars of the Souk Al Bahar tick all of the boxes – great views, plenty of variety, outside seating and, um, grape options \u2013 which can be necessary after a long slog round the Dubai Mall. I popped down to the Rivington Grill to check out their new Spring menu and, yes, take in their spectacular view.\u00a0I had already visited their London branch a couple of years ago, so was interested to see how they compare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a truly British affair at the Rivington, with a \u2018back to basics\u2019 concept and a menu that transported me back to my favourite bistro pubs in the UK. There were many things to love about this little Souk hot spot\u2026. this is a run-down of my fave bits – and one little niggle.<\/p>\n
