Berluti Leather Coat

A wardrobe staple for Fall/Winter, leather continues to take centre stage this season. Available in tones of toffees the iconic long leather coat is accentuated with a shearling collar, making it a must-have for the season.

Gucci Oversized Metal Aviator Sunglasses

Originally invented for military pilots, aviators have become a modern eyewear classic. Gucci’s version is made from gold-tone metal with oversized gradient lenses and black bridge detailing.

An updated classic, this plaid overcoat from Prada’s Fall 2018 collection is made of fine wool dyed in warm rust and brown tones. Its tailored shape adds a sophisticated edge to traditional suiting or more casual sportswear.

Hackett Ladbrook Suede Gloves

These smart, Italian-made Ladbroke gloves are presented in stylish suede elevated with a subtly flecked finish and seams trimmed with tonal topstitching. The wool blend linings will guarantee essential comfort and warmth against winter mornings.

Buddha Bar needs no introduction and the newly-opened Buddha Bar Beach at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort has already made a mark in the capital. They’ve cleverly brought the classic Buddha Bar vibe and menu to Abu Dhabi with an absolutely stunning beachfront venue.

It overlooks Saadiyat Beach and has a beautiful relaxed vibe yet is uber chic and cool. Walking up to the venue with its palmtree-lined pathway and lush gardens will have you feeling like you’re on vacation. The hostesses are friendly and welcome us warmly. The décor is gorgeous with low lighting, plush furniture and a relaxing ambiance which is perfected by beats played by the resident DJ.

The menu, as you would expect from a Buddha Bar venue is Asian-influenced, and each dish has something very enticing about it. It’s a carefully put together menu and you can choose from hot and cold entrees, salads, sushi and ceviche and a choice of mains. This is one of those places where you’re initial reaction is to try everything on the menu – well, that was ours at least!

To start, we choose the lobster dumplings and the Buddha Bar chicken salad. The dumplings are truly delicious and it’s not hard to see why they are a favourite on the menu with their yummy creamy sauce. The salad is also a hit with tender five-spice chicken, cabbage and pieces of crunchy wonton pastry chopped up throughout.

We try the sushi platter for two aptly named Queen of the Beach and it’s simply incredible. The presentation has the wow factor and is served up with lots of sushi, sashimi, oysters and ceviche. This is the perfect dish to order if you really want to impress your dining companion.

The mains are just as good and we opt for the toothfish and the wagyu beef. The beef is tender and perfectly cooked with Chimichurri, corn and sweet Rocoto sauce. The toothfish is also super tasty and another dish on the menu that has garnered favouritism with sweet miso, quinoa salad and truffle dust.

This venue is definitely one to add to your eating-out list, the food is exceptional and service is very good. The bar area is also fantastic and the talented mixologists can whip you up something creative to quench your thirst.
