We had the most wonferful experience at The Strand ! We liked it so much that we came 2 days in a row ! The food is unbelievably delicious, and every bite is homemade and full of flavors. We had the burger, the fish and chips, the truffle and beef pasta and the seafod ceviche. The service is really nice and attentionate, and gives good advices. Among small conveniences is the big jar of filtered water, to avoid ridiculously overpriced imported water. We loved that place we'll definitly recommend it !

Had our lovely Italian Monday night. Food was amazingly delicious. It was romantic enough to have our wedding anniversary. My husband and I sat outside and the ambiance was pleasant and a beautiful view towards the Bluewater with the spectacular view of Dubai Eye. Service is superb and the staff especially the manager was so welcoming and friendly. Thank you
