Apron and Hammers - Dubai’s answer to London’s The Big Easy
with a twist. Set in two different locations in Dubai, one in the Marina and
one in down town Dubai this, in my option, is the best surf n’ (slightly) turf restaurant
I’ve been to so far.
I’ve had the pleasure of dining in the Marina location twice
now and both on occasions my seafood cravings were satisfied.
The menu presents a variety of favourites of mine, swinging
from tasty salads, bowls of seafood to burgers and pasta. My dishes of
choice however would have to be the 'what we do best' buckets – freshly caught jumbo prawns, shrimp, mussels, crab, and lobster – the fun part being when
you order these particular dishes they come with aprons, hammers and tiny
little forks to ‘fish’ out the yummiest bits!
Set on a boat at one end of the Marina (by the beloved
Barasti to be exact!), it’s a venue suited for all types on weather, with an
undercover area at the bottom of the boat and outdoor seating at the top,
however if you are prone to a bit of sea sickness I would aim to go when its
not to breezy… the boat does to tend to rock when the winds up (not ideal on a
hangover!)
I’ve been with both family and friends, and on both
occasions there was not an empty plate in sight (always a good sign!)
Top tips:
- · The portion sizes are huge (especially the salads!) so if going with kids, sharing options are definitely the way forward!
- · If you are not drinking, I would suggest ordering the mint lemonade – extremely refreshing and tasty! Perfect ratio of mint, lemon and sugar!
- · The atmosphere is on the whole better upstairs (keep this in mind when you are booking a table!)
- · Avoid wearing white – it’s the kind of food which ends up on your clothes by the end of the evening!
- · If you’re looking for a tasty side, I would always suggest the corn on the cob, if you are a fan this corn its a dreamy accompaniment to your food..
