Seville's - Spanish

Seville's - Wafi City - Dubai

Among the very few Spanish restaurants in Dubai, I find Seville's the best when it come to Paella, not that their Paella is the best I've ever had, but the best in town so far, on the other hand the worst when it comes to tapas and drinks. Service is Ok, not too helpful though.

My last visit - Saturday Lunch Buffet 

Two Spanish guitarists

 

Selection of tapas - Sausages were ok, Shrimps were tasteless (noticed the canned mushroom? Eh!!)

Mashed Potatoes with a Roasted Quail Leg (This was so balanced, the sweetness of the potatoes and the saltiness of the quail - just Fantastic)

Cannot say this Paella tasted just like the one I had in Spain, but well it was really good!

Enjoyed the terrace, now that the weather has changed

Ordered some kinda special drink (as waiter recommended) - was just colored 7up! How impressive!

Oj Says: The place to go if you are a Paella fan, and if you guys really wanna try this place out then Saturday Lunch Buffet is the way!

Lunch at 101

101 Lounge – One&Only The Palm – West Crescent, Palm Dubai
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!!!!

 

Oj Says: What a waste of such a beautiful location and venue!
