25 to try: food with a view
2 Comments 23 May 2012
Vu’s
Perched in the upper echelons of the iconic Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Vu’s, as the name suggests, offers fantastic views of Downtown Dubai and the Sheik Zayed Road. Turn your attentions to the interior and you’ll find minimalist, chic furnishings and a menu boasting innovative takes on European cuisine, from skate to beef brisket to venison carpaccio to guinea fowl. However, the more casual diner would do well to look out for the regular set menu promotions, as well as the affordable lunch deals. It’s easy to forget that Vu’s, in comparison to the slew of restaurants that have opened in the past year, is one of Dubai’s older restaurants. However, like many of the premium grapes it stocks, it seems to be getting better with age.
Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai (04 319 8088).

Tried this outlet last weekend with visiting family. Felt it is a let down after all the hype created, especially mentioning it under 'food with a view'. We went for dinner and had to stand next to the window for any view, if you are sitting at your table (which was near the window as we requested) you had to actually crane your neck for any view mainly coz its a window set up rather than 1 uninterupted glass. I had clearly mentioned at the time of booking that we were celebrating a B'Day that evening, however let alone offering a piece of cake for the B'day boy, no one even enquired about it though we say that they did bring a small piece of cake and sang for another table. The menu was very restrictive - 2 to 3 appetisirs and 4-5 main courses to choose from, and absolutely no cocktail menu, though they did get Pina Colada and LIIT when requested. All in all I expected much more and had I know whould have planned somewhere else especially as we were celebrating a special day!
