Bahrain Dining Out November 2021

Good company, a picturesque location and great food make for a spectacular time out on the town. With this in mind, we bring you some of the best dining options for you and your loved ones to enjoy this November.

AN AUTHENTIC BEDOUIN ARABIC FEAST
The latest pop-up restaurant concept, Ammuri, is an exciting addition showcasing Middle Eastern specialities at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain. Translating to a female Arabic name that means ‘radiant’, this dining spot is led by the hotel’s Oriental Chef de Cuisine, Hanan Osman, who has proved to be a key player in the kitchen while handling large-scale culinary operations for the hotel.

The new pop-up restaurant will run from October 13 – December 1. Open from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 6pm to 11 pm. It will offer Egyptian, Moroccan and locally-inspired dishes that highlight an ensemble of regional flavours. Tagine, Machboos and Couscous will be amongst the signature dishes, along with Moroccan dessert and a rose petal sorbet to complete a beautiful meal.

Set against the backdrop of the sparkling Arabian Gulf, Ammuri’s ambiance encapsulates the Middle Eastern culture and the genuine warmth of Arabic hospitality. Adorned with pendant lights, beautiful fabric patterns, and a splendid table set up, Ammuri will be a sight to behold for diners.
Call 17 586-499.

SAVOUR THE FRESHEST CATCH

A TASTE OF THE FRENCH RIVIERA
Guest pastry chef Florent Margaillan, from The Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat in France, is at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay to showcase his special pastries at Bay View, from Tuesday, November 23 – Monday, December 6. His remarkable gastronomic creations can be enjoyed from noon to 9pm, for BD26.500 for 2 persons for afternoon tea, or BD31, inclusive of a crafted mocktail. The French chef doesn’t need to look far for inspiration at his home in the French Riviera. He says, “The views and the gardens here are so beautiful, and the town has real elegance and charm. I try to relate all of those things through my creations which I look forward to offering in Bahrain.” Though particularly fond of citrus, he works with anything seasonal – apricots in summer, apples and peaches in early fall, and so on – playing off the pure flavour as well as the actual shape of the ingredient, the exceptionality of which defines his culinary success. Book a table to ensure that you get to experience this fantastic culinary offering while you can. Call 17 115-500.
