Al Dente
Italian restaurant at the Byblos Hotel in Dubai Discuss this article
Al Dente is kitsch, but its cheer is undermined by the rectangular dining space it inhabits. Large murals of tomatoes and a lonely olive do their best to add some atmosphere, while blackboards adorned with chalk scrawls of daily specials hang above the open pizza kitchen. Yet in spite of the faux-Italian adornments and low-lighting, Al Dente feels less of a cosy restaurant than it does a sterile dining hall. Food is straightforward, if not a tad uninspiring, but it should be noted that salami is genuine thanks to the hotel’s pork licence (though it was unpardonably bland).
