the cavendish restaurant - bonnington jumeirah lake towers

went for their iftar buffet , i felt that most of their dishes are catered for arabic cuisine , although they say it's an international cuisine . the quality of the food was great and service was brilliant as well but i expected more given that it's a 5 star hotel . even the desserts wasgoodbut was lacking some stuff that you would expect to see . overall i've given it a 4 because as mentioned the service was world class and food was not bad.

went here for a friends birthday quite some time back. the place has valet parking else it has spinneys free parking right in front of it. the staff ranging from the service to the reception everyone was really helpful since i had lost my car keys and they left no stone unturned in helping me find it.
the setting is nice, the restaurant is located downstairs. coming to the food there was a live shawarma station, live manakeesh, grills which kept getting over and there was quite a bit of waiting time before it got restocked, salads, cold mezze, limited hot mezze which again took a lot of time to get refilled, and lots and lots of potatoes. the food wasgoodno doubt but nothing that particularly stood out. it was agooddeal since we had gotten the cobone/groupon voucher (i don’t remember) else i do believe there are a lot of competitors in the market that serve better food and variety at that price

went there for a small date and we were not disappointed...drinks and food were good.. in fact staff members were really friendly and helpful.. they also suggested some drinks which weregoodfor sore throat that they made specially for us.. ambiance and cleanliness was nicely maintained...

in my desire to have a decent eid brunch which doesn't have to offer a lavish buffet selection, my friend and i decided to go for a cheaper offer and opted cavendish in bonnington up by jumeirah lake towers. however, for what i thought would have been a less filling afternoon, i ended up completely satisfied and in fact burping and bloating.

the selection of food at the buffet are really good. they may have less varieties at the buffet but they are made perfect to my liking. salad options are fresh, meat options will keep you coming back for more-roast beef, lamb chops, shish taouk, lamb kebab. the ouzi is seriously scrumptious and i had to control myself from eating so much of it's savory rice. the only downfall is that there is not so much of vegetable or seafood dishes for mains. the dessert section was arranged creatively with mini cakes, arabic sweet, fruits & chocolate fountain. i love how the umm ali was made as it is not soggy like how others prepares it.

staff are all friendly and even the manager is hands on assisting the guests. the restaurant is located at the lower ground level of the hotel and there's an outside seating too. a big kids room was designed at one corner of the restaurant to cater to young guests. for aed 129, this is really a verygooddeal.

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 playinggoodmusic 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 weregoodenough 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.

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 verygoodmix 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 andgoodplace to have a conversation.

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 - agoodsign. 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!

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,goodfriends,goodtimes, 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,goodfriends 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,
