Leading the gastronomic show is Al Wasmeyah Restaurant, the all day lobby café, which features a splendid spread of international dishes. The buffet spreads exhibited for breakfast, lunch and dinner at this eatery are popular amongst the Kingdom’s food-lovers. However, this venue is mostly known for its Friday brunch — and it is back! Served every Friday from 12.30-4pm, the weekly event is celebrated for its friendly atmosphere and great music. Children are entertained with a variety of activities like face painting. The restaurant boasts cuisines from all around the globe. The highlight, no doubt, is the live charcoal grill. In this splendid weather, it would be wrong to miss the perfect barbecue. At BD20.700++, you can eat until your belly bursts and drink selected beverages to your heart’s content. Those who are opting against drinks can indulge in good food at BD15++. Kids between six and 12 years of age can dine at half that price. Theme nights The seafood night is held every Wednesday from 7-11pm. At BD13.500++, you can witness a huge display of fish and shellfish. The full seafood buffet, with cold and hot dishes, also has a “cook as preferred” station. Al Wasmeyyah hosts the ‘beefeater grill’ night every Thursday, starting from February 28. Enjoy your 500g choice of prime meat cuts. The French Soiree is back on February 26 and will continue every last Tuesday. E Call 17 535-000. Fine dining hasn’t been more fun than it is at a renowned five-star hotel. The last week of February sees the launch of new theme nights and the return of a popular brunch. MAYA LA CHOCOLATERIE Cocoa Craving You don’t need an excuse to raid a house of chocolate, but Maya La Chocolaterie gives you a really good one. This time you’ll be gorging away decadent sweets for a cause. Between February 1 and 16, you have the chance to donate to the fight against children’s cancer by buying a box of the new cocoa treats created by the dedicated boutique. Celebrate the season of love with the ChocoB family. Choco Dee, dark and handsome, leads the herd of chocolate truffles. If you’re a fan of dark chocolate truffles, then you are in for a treat. Joining him is Choco Mo; meant for the bubbly and adventurous, this milk chocolate truffle is to die for. Those who like their chocolate white will love Choco Bebe, the princess of the trio. As the character demands, this truffle is sweet to the core. As impossible as it may be, not everyone is a chocoholic. For those of you who would like to be a part of the cause without having a go at these dark temptations, the ChocoB range extends to a collection of plush toys and gift hampers. Grab your favourite of the three, or all of them, from the kiosk in the outlet at the new extension at Seef Mall. One hundred per cent of the proceeds go to Smile, a Bahraini initiative to tackle cancer in children. Remember, the chocolate truffle family won’t be visiting for long. However, you can show your support and adopt them as soon as possible. E Call 17 583-368 or email [email protected]. There’s nothing that chocolate can’t fix. A house dedicated to the guilty pleasure gives you yet more reasons to indulge, apart from the obvious Valentine’s Day demand. When? February 1-16 | Event? ChocoB launch | Venue?
