One of the best ambiance of Dubai, amazingly fabulous location, beautiful classy chic venue.
101 offers a selection of Tapas and a menu of Mediterranean dishes, going through their online menu got me all excited to try some Tapas and enjoy a decent plate of Paella (Since Paella's were listed as Signature dishes at 101's menu).
However, for a "Local Lady" who walks around fully covered with Shaila and Abaya like myself, this place is NOT SUMMER Friendly! It's a 8-10 minutes Buggy drive from the main Hotel Lobby, and few extra minutes walk to the venue itself, you literally melt.
Our Buggy Ride to 101
Amazing landscape of Dubai keeps you entertained all the way
Here we are, one of Dubai's secrets!
Walking to the restaurant
Beautiful outdoor seating - can't enjoy during our summer heat!
First thing first a complementary treat of hummus and toasted bread
My Innocent Mojito is here - nothing special though
a picture of the place from our table
Tapas:
1) Deep Fried Calamari - Not bad
2)
Chicken chorizo croquetas - Nothing special
3) menu says "Toasted farmhouse bread, tomato and garlic" – in reality - it was a soggy slice of bread with
totally bland mushy tomatoes! Can't even taste garlic anywhere in there!
Gratinated mussels - didn't like
Seafood Paella with Chicken chorizo - nicely cooked. But the
dish lacked seasoning, Chicken chorizo totally tastless, and the calamaris were
rubbery! – Disappointment
Waiting for our Buggy Ride which took 20 minutes to reach!!!!
