Burnt Leek & Black Truffle Pide @orfalibros_bistro @m.orfali 🔥😍
-
A few of my favourite bites from lunch the other day. This bistro in jumeirah serves up a number of small and medium-sized plates - everything from their beautiful pide and adobo chicken wings, to the caviar bun and Wagyu gyoza. For me the star dish has to be those adobo wings. Unreal - stuffed with rice and licked with a sweet umami glaze, topped with sesame, chives and puffed rice. These things are delicious - perfectly charred and with the bone removed for easy eating. The burger here is great too - minced Wagyu, Hokkaido milk bun, caramelised onions, cheddar, OB sauce. Unctuous and flavoursome, stupidly juicy with a nice sweetness. Caviar bun speaks for itself, but that pide! Damn. The dough is fermented for 5 days - nice leopard spots and topped with burnt leeks, stracciatella, brown butter miso, hazelnuts, chives and black truffle. A lovely chew and a creamy, fragrant bite. It’s a big menu so go hungry and try a few bits. Wings and burger are a must #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Beef Tartare, jalapeño, caviar @11woodfire @akmalanuarofficial 🔥🔥
-
Dubai’s best Woodfire grill. A few of my favourite starters and desserts from the other day. The beef tartare here is excellent. Hand-chopped fillet of beef, combined with shiitake mushrooms, preserved lime, chives, jalapeño, oscietra caviar and Woodfired sourdough. It’s a very well put together dish - a nice balance of flavours with added oomph from the cav. The jalapeño heat and preserved lime worked really well with it. The red prawn crudo with pineapple gazpacho, endive and corriander is also delicious - sweet and fresh - a great taste bud refresher before the heavier main courses. The roasted bone marrow is excellent too - cooked in the fire chamber with a soy and curry leaf glaze. A Rich, salty, umami beef butter that’s spread over their warm, deep fried brioche. Will post more about the steak and mains separately. As for dessert, I’d recommend the milk & white chocolate basque cheesecake and crème brûlée. Beautifully made and the perfect way to finish. No alcohol here so plan accordingly #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Calamari Mozambique @flamingoroomae @jumeirahalnaseem @jumeirahgroup 🔥😍
-
My favourite dish of all from Flamingo. Have always loved this and order it every single time I’m here. A mountain of crispy shoestring fries, 250g of grilled calamari and squid’s heads, lemon butter, peri-peri sauce, tarragon and roasted cherry tomatoes. The fries are super crispy and become the perfect texture once coated in that rich and glossy tomato peri-peri sauce. It’s spicy and sharp, creamy and comforting. For me this is like a calamari version of entrecôte. A super addictive and satisfying main course. A place you can always count on. Food and service always excellent. #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Steak au poivre @bistrotpaulbert 😮‍💨
-
An amazing lunch at Le Bistrot Paul Bert. A bistro of dreams with classic Parisian interiors and a menu to keep you coming back for more. They serve everything from their famous steak au poivre to their insane croque-monsieur loaded with seasonal truffles and the Dover sole meunière. The filet mignon au poivre was excellent - perfectly cooked. So tender, well rested and flavoursome. The sauce was thick and glossy but loose enough to enjoy and dip the crispy frites maison in to. Plenty of black pepper to bring the heat. Dover sole was good but not the best I’ve had - needed more lemon, butter and sea salt. The ouefs au plat à la truffe noir was delicious. Sunny side up eggs, with a truffled cream sauce underneath. Gooey rich egg yolks and an amazing bite all together. This place has real charm and top quality food to match for a classic French bistro. They only use the very best ingredients and so you can expect the freshest rotating plates alongside the classics #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Sando stack from @rascalsdeli @talalhizami 🔥🥪
-
As far as sandwiches go, these are some of the best I’ve had in Dubai. A cool little spot next to Safa Park, serving up a delicious menu of home-style, gourmet sandwiches. My favourites of the selection were the TLT, the breakfast sando and Ronnie’s Katsu. Need to go back for the Philly and pastrami + a few others but so far, very good. Ultra fresh ingredients and very well put together sandwiches that are easy and satisfying to eat. The thick-cut, toasted croissant bread for the breakfasts Sando was ridic - buttery, flaky, spongy and crusty all at the same time. The chicken katsu was stupidly juicy too. A cool spot for a quick bite any day of the week. Also huge shout out to those curly fries, ufffff #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Steak and potatoes @mountain.restaurant @tomos_pp 🥩🔥
-
An outstanding dinner. Congrats to these guys on their star - the food and service was excellent all round. This was my second visit and definitely my favourite so far. Opted for the black Angus beef sirloin cooked over Woodfire - a beautiful piece of meat from the one and only @mr_txuleta . Lovely yellow fat that was nicely rendered and really tasty thin slices of beef. I always order a side of beef jus to go along with the potatoes here or at @bratrestaurant - it’s a magical combination. Deeply flavoured and rich. Service was top - the waitress knew the menu and ingredients very well and the sommelier was excellent too, suggesting this fresh Chenin when the one I ordered was sold out. Had a number of other dishes and some fish for main also but will follow up with part 2 separately. Worth a visit! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Lamb hotpot @devonshiresoho @mcmoop @ashleypalmerwatts 🚀🫡
-
One pub, four stories and three dining rooms. The new kid on the block delivered on all fronts. It’s pub food done correctly. The majority of main plates here are centred around their Woodfire grill on the first floor - I’d try and reserve in here if you want to catch the grill action. All three dining rooms share the same menu though. In terms of the food, you’ll find no over-engineering or complicating here - it’s a menu of classics that are well executed. Food you want to eat in a pub that actually hits the mark on flavour. All of the baking and dry-ageing is done in house with a big butchery in the basement. My favourites of the night were the Iberico pork ribs and the bone-in ribeye. The bite sized ribs were so good I ordered three more portions - charred, sticky and beautifully soft. Falling off the bone with nicely rendered fat and a sweet glaze. The 850g ribeye arrived with a lovely crust and perfect medium rare temp. The beef was buttery soft. Good marbling and funky, beefy flavour. Green sauce was the winner for me. Brawn toast didn’t love, not quite my taste but nicely put together. Lamb hotpot, yum. A lovely stewed lamb filling with carrots, onions and nice lamb jus with crispy scalloped potatoes on the top. Sticky toffee for dessert is essential - top tier. Place is heaving, good vibes will be back for sure - a lot more to try #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Grilled brill @leos.london @pep_belvedere 😍
-
A very delicious dinner at Leo’s. This local charmer on Chatsworth road is worth a visit. It’s a retro-styled Italian diner and @pep_belvedere really knows what he’s doing. I had one of the most amazing dishes here which I’ll save for a separate post - probably one of the tastiest plates I’ve had so far in 2024. Other than that, I had their white lasagne, tagliolini with porcini butter and black truffle and the grilled brill. All three were beautifully prepared. The white lasagne was creamy and al dente with a rich layers of tender pork ragu and spinach throughout. A perfectly caramelised, crispy top. Delectable. The egg yolk tagliolini, made in house with the most vibrant colour and firm texture. Fragrant and tasty. The brill was tender and sweet, with a viscous and tart lemon butter sauce - v good. A super casual and pleasant atmosphere with great service and knowledgable staff! If only there were more spots like this! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Peking duck @royalchinaclub 🔥🦆
-
Delicious duck at Royal China Club. Golden, lacquered, crispy skin that glistens as it arrives. Carved table-side and served with all the usual condiments. Ultra thin homemade pancakes, sliced cucumber, spring onions and hoisin. For me Peking duck is maybe the ultimate bite. Everything you want in one mouthful. Tender, well seasoned duck meat, crispy skin that has a little rendered duck fat on the inside, cooling crunchy cucumbers and a complex, spiced, sweet hoisin. The soft pancakes are the perfect vehicle for all this goodness. There are some strong contenders in London for Peking duck, interested to know which are everyone’s favourites! I’ll share mine if you share yours! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
