Soup of one of those things that, for me at least, is perfect in both summer and winter. This Honey Pumpkin Soup was something simple, easy and delicious that I came up with. A bowl of Honey Pumpkin Soup and a couple slices of rustic baguette would be ideal after a cool day outdoors or, when cold, as a refresher after a hot day. The Honey Pumpkin Soup can easily be made vegan by replacing the honey with agave syrup, brown sugar or maple syrup. …

Menagerie – Review
This has been my second time at Menagerie and I am happy to come back and make it a third time as well. Menagerie is great for someone who is on a free from diet (especially gluten or dairy) as they have so many great gluten and dairy free options. There is something for everyone including those with a sweet or savoury tooth.

The Lime Tree Cafe – Review
A Dubai institution since 2001; The Lime Tree Cafe has three locations in Dubai. I use to only visit their Jumeirah location (which has lovely outdoor seating) but this morning I needed a coffee boost so I headed to Al Quoz. The vibe is similar to Jumeirah. Large vitrines show case their amazing fresh food selection, black boards with breakfast menu items listed and of course their massive drinks selection make for a rather pleasing little place; some people would even end that sentence with a #foodporn.

Under500 – Review
I am a major fan of Under500 and their phrase, “Great taste. No guilt.”, is so true. Their menu is diverse but grounded in one simple principle, eat healthy. There are options for the carnivores and the herbivores amoung us so everyone will be able to eat something AND still be delighted by their choice.
The latest thing I have tried at Under500 was their Ahi Tuna Poke (pronounced poh-kay … like okay with a p) Bowl which was a revelation and now I not only want to try the other two poke bowls they offer but also try other Dubai based poke bowls. Heck, I might even travel to Abu Dhabi for a poke bowl. Yes, they are that good.

Friends Avenue Café – Review
Wow what a delicious and massive breakfast a Friends Avenue Café in Cluster T JLT. If you are taking the metro get out at the Damac Metro station. It is less than a five minute walk away.
Over Ramadan they are open from 8am-8pm for dine in and take away. Get there early though as it fills up quickly. I had the chicken sandwich with potato wedges and my friend the scrambled eggs. The portions were massive. Make sure to either share or take half for another meal.
Prices are reasonable but there are not too many dairy free options though if you just want to drink a coffee or tea they have soya/almond milk and only charge AED3 extra for a hot drink and AED4 for a cold drink.
Check it out and support a locally based cafe!
