the cavendish restaurant - bonnington jumeirah lake towers

we visited the cavendish, located in jlt, for their social dining night a couple of weeks ago. offering british and irish cuisines, the event is held every thursday with an open buffet and a set menu.

the atmosphere indoors is hush and all fine dining like. glass windows from ceiling to floor and elegant table pieces, while the outdoors was a more fun vibe. speakers playing good music and chit chat, we knew this is where we’d be settling in that night.

the buffet featured some cold cuts and salads, out of which some were good enough for a second helping. also displayed was a live shawarma and barbecue counter. we ordered a shawarma and beef burger, of which the latter had too much tahini sauce for my liking. the burger buns were found quite dry too. thankfully, we had a couple of mojitos to wash these down.

they serve sharing platters on the table with pork or non pork options as well. a vegetarian platter can also be prepared upon request. we decided to order from their normal menu too, of which the trio pumpkin tortellini and crispy confit duck leg looked promising. recommended by our lovely server jesse, who really took care of us by the way, was the jumbo prawn and hanger steak.

after a short wait, we were presented with a neatly arranged pumpkin tortellini. sadly, the pumpkin purée was a little too bland for me. although the feta sauce provided a nice taste to go with the tortellini.

i was very impressed by the service, ambience, outdoor setting and the delicious crispy confit duck leg, jumbo prawns & hanger steak!! it was absolutely delicious!! i just want to go back to eat that meal again and again. it's really a nice place, perfect for romantic dinner or a dinner with friends. thanks for jessie for lovely evening, she made completely memorable our evening.

it is the best restaurant in jumeirah lake towers. we all visited once week and enjoy every dish specially mediterranean was awesome. thanks for serving.

have been to the cavendish many times. it is a very nice and quiet place for a business meeting. the staff is very pleasant and take care of you.
the meal is a buffet with a very good mix of salad items. for mains it is a mix of arabic, indian with a pasta dish. and a very sizable dessert bar.
overall a decent meal and good place to have a conversation.

good english breakfast. lots of fruits and vegetable served fresh.
not such a great place for dinner , lacks variety and choices especially if you are not a pork eater.

wow. we live very close by but it took us a whole year to choose to dine here. the newly constructed terrace was definitely a drawcard. we didn't have a reservation but were seated outside promptly. the service was attentive without being fussy. the waiter was very knowledgeable about the wine selection and recommended a wonderful white. we were served a warm bread basket while we browsed the menu. it is a small menu and obviously changed often - a good sign. everything looked delectable but we eventually settled on the goats cheese mousse and scallop & pork belly for starters, followed by the duck leg and duck spring rolls. the flavours in all the dishes were impressive, balanced and deliciously original. this is fine dining. best of all, when the bill arrived we didn't feel like we had to sell our first born to pay for it. this is fine dining, very reasonably priced. will definitely be returning!

nothing to complain about everything was cool. thanks guys for the wonderful experience if in the area you will see me here again inshalah!!

we went there for the iftar. the service and ambience were excellent. food was tasty. variety was less. dessert selections not great.

overall not bad, but not great experience.

hello everyone, we hope you have a wonderful start into the week again! did you experience anything new lately? we had such an amazing time and one of the best nights in a long time, at the bonnington hotel recently.

where exactly, you ask – the cavendish restaurant, on the stunning outdoor terrace, to be specific. since the addition of the terrace the place has become the al fresco dining destination, on this side of the town.

surrounded by an elegant wooden fence, olive trees and a beautiful water feature in the centre makes you feel like you are being invited to an exquisite home dinner party. the bar at the entrance of the restaurant and the second bar outside on the terrace invite guests to socialize and to enjoy unique cocktails and mocktails after one sipped a couple of wonderful welcome drinks prepared by venkadesh, the bar manager and his team.

last thursday’s event was called: social dining thursday. the social dining concept starts at 7:30 pm and lasts until 11:00 pm. the concept is straight forward, yet unique: enjoy an exquisite time with friends and connect with others while enjoying sharing style platters, a wonderful bbq and freshly grilled meat cuts, a huge salad buffet and delicious desserts served to the table, for only 299 aed per person. what a deal!

good food, good friends, good times, is the thursday nights’ concept slogan, and it is not hard to tell why, once you have been part of it. the venue itself, the delicious european bbq and the attentive service, replace the outdated idea of friday brunches around town and make ‘social dining thursday‘ the new, to – be followed trend in dubai.

launched for the first time last thursday, the terrace as well as the restaurant were chocker blocker full. ladies and gentlemen dress up for a night in style and we had the chance to take some pictures for you while enjoying pork and none – pork cold cuts to share, lard and freshly baked bread.

time passes so quickly when you are enjoying yourself. we nearly forgot to check out the salad buffet and the wonderful bbq station while socializing with other diners, however the attentive service staff reminded us about the food, and we were thankful for every single bite.

the chefs and the service staff took great care of us, served drinks none stop and even suggested us their favourites from the buffet. we had shawarma, chicken breast, burgers, oven potatoes with cream and roasted vegetable, greek salads, corn on the cob and even shared a dessert in the end. yes, we enjoyed ourselves, and yes, we ate a lot. when the food is that delicious, the service is so friendly, and the weather finally invites you to relax outdoors again however, it is really hard to stop munching and drunching while chatting with friends.

good food, good friends and a great time, is how we would sum up our experience at the cavendish social dining thursday last week. missed t? keep calm and call them up for this week, as it had only launched last thursday and the event will take place on a weekly bases from now on. friday brunches were yesterday, social dining thursday is where you’ve got to be these days!

keep it social,

se
