Shanghai Me Dubai Review

For soup the options are miso with mushrooms, spring onions and tofu soup, chicken and sweetcorn soup or sweetcorn soup (which is vegetarian). I chose the sweet corn soup.

There are loads of great appetizer choices from chicken and prawn nems (spring rolls) to peking duck corn shells. I went with the tomato and aubergine (eggplant) salad. The eggplant was crunchy and glazed with a sweet finish on your palate.

You will keep coming back to Shanghai Me in Dubai for the mains to try them all, for the lunch set menu there are 7 options from wok Szechuan beef with seasonal vegetables, stir fried vegetarian soy noodles, barbecued chicken with pickled cucumbers. I had the grilled salmon steak with teriyaki sauce.

Overall an amazing spot in DIFC for lunch, dinner or even drinks with friends. Shanghai Me Dubai is a full addition to the dining scene.

Review of Senor Pico Dubai – Highlights

• Senor Pico is located on West Beach with full views of Dubai Marina Senor Pico or Senior Pico is perfect for al fresco outdoor dining in Dubai just steps away from the ocean.
• The brand hails from San Francisco, California so the cuisine is inspired by Mexico and American mixed, usually referred to as Tex-Mex, but with California vibes so everything on the menu will be instantly familiar for those looking for a casual day out with friends or family.
• The tacos are handmade on site out of corn tortillas and you can instantly taste the difference, they are soft and fall apart as you bite into them. There is a large selection of tacos such as chicken pastor (marinated in red adobo and chillies), beef barbacoa (marinated in 15 spices for 48 hours), shrimp and two vegetarian options zucchini and the classic mushroom tacos.
