Welcome back all! Today's post is probably
one of my favourite types – FOOD!! I love eating out and have put a little mission on to blog about more of the places I go to let you all know my
thoughts and if you should also check it out!
So while I was in Dubai for Christmas Jack
and I escaped family life and headed out to Peir 7 at the Dubai Marina to eat at Fume.
We arrived for an early dinner at about 5.30 and were taken to a lovely table
overlooking the Marina. Were were given plenty time to decide on our drinks and
meals before the waiter came back. I picked the spiced Pina Colada type drink
and Jack had an 'Ultimate Gin and Tonic.

The food didn’t take long to come, we
started with what is described as ‘Sourdough Bread with Smoked Butter and Lava Salt’ - sounds fancy right? So we were little shocked when some standard toast arrived (I think we were
expecting fresh rolls), however is was alright.
Onto mains I chose a huge Angus Rump Burger and Jack
had a Beef Cheek Rendang with Pitta Bread and both meals were lovely. Once we had
finished however it look a long time for anyone to clear our plates and at times it
felt as though there were no staff at all while others were not being observant
and clearing our table.

However, once we had finally had the mains cleared we went in for
dessert. The dessert choice was great, possibly the best part of the menu! I went for a Banoffee Parfait and Jack
went for the Foot-Long (YES FOOT LONG!!) Nutella éclair. Now these were easily the showstopper
portion of the meal, both were beautify presented as well as tasting amazing
and we finished them off in a matter of minutes.
It again took a little while once the
desserts had been cleared for the bill come (we asked for it when the waiter
took the plates) so that was a little disappointing as we were ready to head
back home, however as Jack and I enjoy each others company it wasn’t the end of
the world.

Now onto the price. Fume is reasonably priced for Dubai standards with a main meal costing between 55-85aed (~£12 -£20). The desserts were also reasonable (for Dubai) with each coming in at around 35 aed (£8). We were lucky enough to have a ‘The Entertainer’ voucher that took the price of one of the main meals off bringing the whole cost of the meal down (YEESSSS!!!) making it very palatable and pleasant.
Overall I think I was expecting a little
more from Fume with it being in the prestigious Peir 7 complex, however it was
very much a no fuss eatery with good wholesome food and a lovely location. I
would recommend for a easy eat with family, but possibly not for that special
event or occasion.
Let me know in the comments below if you
have eaten at Fume and what your thoughts are? Also where are your favourite
places to eat in London (we are back home now) – I am always looking for recommendations.

While out in Dubai this year we found ourselves eating an array of great food and it got me thinking about starting to post a few restaurant reviews on here. Food is something I love and good food is even better!
The first place I thought I would review is Eggspectation at The Beach, JBR, Dubai (head over to their Website HERE).
We were recommended this place by family and headed over 8.30am mid-week to see what the fuss was about. We had tried to get a table around 10am at the weekend, but there were none available, so would recommend booking if that is the time you wish to eat. We were shown to a lovely table by the window with nice views over the beach, and there was plenty of outdoor seating available (it was just a tad hot for us!). The waitress was smily, super nice and polite.
The menu was huge, but split up into sections to make it slightly easier.
To drink I ordered the ‘Tropical Teaser’ a blend of mango, banana, pineapple and orange which was refreshing and felt healthy, Jack ordered the ‘Honey Blue’ a mix of blueberries, banana, honey and yogurt and was just as delicious.
It took us a little while to decide what we wanted to eat but as soon as we were ready the waitress was there and willing to take out order. Jack decided on the ‘Southwest Sunrise’ an omelette with cheese, peppers and avocado and served with lyonnaise style potatoes. I on the other hand, have trouble deciding on the sweet or savoury breakfast option so decided to combine the two and enjoy the ‘High Rise Pancakes’ which consisted of a stack of pancakes with sausage, beef bacon (not much pork in Dubai), and potatoes layered between and topped off with a fried egg.
Both meals were delicious and there was plenty to eat for all, the bill came quickly upon request and overall was reasonably priced 184 AED (£33). The restaurant is in a beautiful location and really worth a visit. We enjoyed it so much we went back on our last morning for another delicious breakfast.
Now we are back in London we would love some weekend breakfast recommendation so make sure you leave your favourite breakfast place in the comments below.
