    Dubai; Now you know FooDiva loves any excuse to take in Dubai’s magical fountains, so given I was heading to an event at Armani Prive (the hotel’s nightclub) last night, my guest and I thought we’d first try out their tapas and bubbles at the champagne bar. Well sadly not, the bar was closed for a private event…for Tom Cruise […]

    Dubai, October 3rd, 2010; Well you certainly can’t miss it…Red Door is Galeries Lafayette’s first eaterie (located on the first floor by the escalators) and operated by Fauchard.
