Which are your 5 favorite restaurants in Bahrain?

K?

SO WHAT DO YOU THIN There’s THE BEST, and there’s THE REST!

Some restaurants are better than others, and some are REALLY SPECIAL maybe for their presentation of cuisine… or atmosphere… or value… or service… or entertainment… or combinations of all of these… or for other reasons!

Unlike competitive sports which have clear winners (and losers), restaurants cater to all sorts of niches and tastes. What appeals to some will not appeal to others.

So we believe it’s misleading to proclaim any restaurant to be “the First”, or an ultimate “Winner” over all others. The reality is there’s THE BEST, and there’s THE REST!

WHAT IS ‘FINE DINING’?

A fine dining restaurant has a more formal atmosphere than a casual dining restaurant, and they tend to be more expensive. The staff may wear formal attire.

They also have stricter dress codes. Fine dining restaurants are not usually places for kids, unless very well behaved.
