Radisson Blu Dubai Deira Creek restaurants now offer discounts on the M-Club card.
In the inconstancy and fleetingness of the restaurant scene, our city is only like a secular diva, a fashion influencer of half a million instagram, who is always glad to smile at the one who left the best answer under today's post, however, he will not even remember the commentator's avatar tomorrow morning.
In order to retain the attention of a capricious lady, the restaurateur is obliged to perfectly master not only the kitchen in charge, but also the Chinese theater art of bian-lianas, turning his hand imperceptibly changing a hundred colorful masks from one to another on his face, somehow not magically while losing its true essence. Click - and the Ladys Night appeared in the restaurant. Click - a new winter menu and a 20 percent discount after nine in the evening. Click - and now there is brunch ...
But, as we already know, summing up the results of the outgoing year, not everyone can handle it. 2018 was a particularly difficult year for restaurateurs. The introduction of value added tax directly hit the service industry, causing, as a result, an instant boom in price inflation for products and services. Many favorites of young jet jets and stately gray-haired Dubai dignitaries still could not stay on the right track between "survive" and "lose visitors." They took off, shone, and, having collected all the flashes of selfies and stories, such restaurants as Novikov, Sass Cafe, VIP Room, GQ, Societe, Embassy, 360 have long gone out "," China grill "," 7 elephants "," Music room ". It would seem that masters of the “Le classique” level at the emirates golf club, which had existed in Dubai for 29 years, and the famous “Indego”, “Catch Dubai” should not be scared. But even worldly glory passed them.
At such moments, Dubai's old-timers are forced to return to places that have not yet been seen quietly creaking on their teeth crisis. Our editorial staff, shaking off the still remaining sparkles of yesterday’s holiday, and with silent self-reproach, pulling out piercing eyes from the pockets of the bills for fabulous dinners this year, decided to inspect the old and unforgettable restaurant courtyard of Radisson Blue Creek.
Once back in 1975, Radisson became the first five-star hotel to open in Dubai. Of course, much time has passed since then, and the city was saturated and even fed up with the gloss of splendor of the new five-star palaces by the water. Nevertheless, local residents, wanting to nostalgia, often wander here in search of memories of the past of the emirates.
Perhaps the most famous Radisson Blue Creek restaurant is Fish Market. Often, the transparent glass of an open kitchen can be watched by the famous Uwe Mikael, founder and president of the Culinary Guild of the Emirates. This noble gray-haired German is the chef of Radisson, or, as his business director says on his business card. Since 1989, Uwe boasts, the restaurant has served over 1 million kilograms of fish to its visitors.
Indeed, as soon as we cross the threshold, we immediately notice a huge table, completely littered with ice and seagulls of all stripes and sizes. Dorado and sea basses look at us tiredly, bored lobsters wave their mustache from the aquarium next door, coquettishly hide in oyster shells, casually hinting that everything should be wonderful in the wine list for sancerra, chablis and other white wines.
We are in a very crustacean mood, and we decide on the recommendation of the waiter to tickle the taste buds with the claws of Alaskan crabs. The principle of the restaurant is understandable and very common in Dubai: you need to choose a suitable victim, and then the sauce for its preparation from the ones listed. Despite our firm belief that our arthropod brothers need to be steamed in sea water, serving only with butter and a slice of lemon, the waiter insists on spécialité de la maison, crabs in spicy Singapore sauce. The Chinese restaurant China Club, located in the neighborhood, also subordinate to Mr. Michael, is also famous for its cuisine, and therefore we decide to accept the proposal and add pan-Asian spices to the Pacific beauties. Risk is a noble cause, and here we have on the table aromatic chopped claws, poured in a spectacular copper pan with a thick ruby sauce. The very process of eating these, however, turns into a piquant adventure with a mountain of napkins, and the taste of the crab during the final serving leaves little, although in general the dish can be called finished.
For desserts, we go to the China Club. Here, friendly and perhaps even too talkative waiters tell us, serving a mango parfait, about a special offer valid for lunch at this restaurant: for 159 dirhams, visitors are offered 16 types of dim sums, as well as different types of noodles, rice and Chinese soups. In the evenings here you can try one of the best Peking ducks in the city.
Already planning to leave, we suddenly find on the second floor a wonderful pub, where you can discuss sports matches broadcast right there, or play snooker. A pool table is offered free of charge to anyone who wants to buy any drinks.
And, of course, we must not forget the best news that the waiter shared with us when issuing the invoice: now in absolutely all Radisson Blue Creek restaurants you can get a 20 percent discount on the Moskovsky club card. It seems that the Dubai restaurant crisis will be defeated.
What surprised us
Dubai cooking legend Uwe Mikael is still at the helm of Radisson’s kitchens.
What we cried from
Of happiness, of course! Thanks to the discounts of "Moscow".
Why will we be back
On the second floor of the food court there is a wonderful the Pub bar with free billiards.
