Restaurant for lunch
I am looking for a nice place to take some friends for lunch. We need to be there around 11:00 so we can finish by 12:30 in time to pick up kids from school. I want a nice-casual place. (Not Applebee's or Thai Snack.) But nothing too super fancy either.
Any ideas???
I have found some, but they are either too fancy or don't open until 1pm.
Thanks!!!
Ok, maybe I wasn't too clear... a petrol station??? I want fancier than Applebee's, not as fancy as a Four Season's restaurant. Price isn't a factor.
I saw La Dolce Vita at the Souk but they don't open until 12:30 :-(
-XXC, where are those places you mentioned? I know Sushi Minto, but not the others. Since we all live by Villiago, we tend to frequent those restaurants a lot.
Where exactly is Bateel?
neo? sushi-minto? grand joud cafe? al saha restaurant? al sayyad restaurant? but again those cost a lot.
Le Notre is nice
Go into Souq Waqif, all the restaurants are open in the day and parking is very easy. Also, Al Saad area (behind Royal Plaza) has quite a few decent restaurants.
Agreeing with Topnotch, it's a nice place, not too pricey not to cheapy and the one at Salwa Road is quite nice and kind of decorated very picturesque.
Enjoy!
"Not Applebee's or Thai Snack."
Oh well, there goes my suggestions :(
You may want to consider the Royal Istanbul located in West Bay Petrol Station. If you can get a family cubicle in there you should be ok. Good food reasonable price. I like the mixed grill there. And there is a Baskin Robins next door for desert ;)
Bateel (salwa road)? Le Notre? Crepe Away? And theres alot of stuff open in Villagio during the late morning.
