  Dubai; As you must know by now, FooDiva has a weakness for all things tea-like, so when I spotted Vivel’s new tea shop and patisserie at Dubai Mall, with its highly enticing store front I had to pop in for a cuppa (with sister in tow). It’s not just a shop, but also a teeny […]

  Dubai; There’s one restaurant in Dubai that consistently delivers; 1. quality food at a reasonable price with a menu that continually evolves, 2. excellent service and no upselling thank goodness! and 3. breathtaking location overlooking the world’s highest fountains.
