Hg2 : The Hedonist

A Hedonist’s guide to…

Dubai

Aquaventure
A world class adventure park with quite unparalled rides and attractions.
Arabian Tea House
Linger in the shaded courtyard of this café over homemade specialities.
Barasti
Beachfront bar which attracts a relaxed crowd - not the most stylish but those not trying to be either.
Belgian Beer Café
A refreshing change from drinking ultra-hip cocktails or bad lager, the beer served here does not disappoint.
Gold & Diamond Park
A more easily maneuvered version of the Gold Souk where haggling is the norm.
Il Rustico
Cosy spot serving good quality generous Italian dishes with a staunch local following.
Karama
Fake designer accessories
Lemongrass
Amidst Dubai's less glamorous shops this hidden culinary gem serves tasty Thai dishes.
More Café
For those of you who can't decide head here for an extensive menu and mega generous portions.
Outlet Mall
Find a splendid bargain here where many major names are sold at discount prices.
Ravi Restaurant
This cheap Pakistani restaurant is budget but as the locals will testify it's scrumptious.
Rivington Grill
Rock Bottom
With its sticky dancefloor and 'ethnic' grub this place is distinctly unglitzy. Fun though. 
Sezzam
This animated place has economical combinations and weekend entertainment for the kids.
Smiling BKK
Full of cheeky character come prepared for the entertaining menu at this hard-to-find Thai.
Sushi Sushi
A relaxing venue for enjoying excellent Japanese cuisine without the price tag of the major hotels.
Teatro
The broad range of cuisine all achieves impressive authenticity making this a prudent choice whatever you fancy.
Thai Kitchen
Watch the chefs at work as you savour a multiplicity of miniature dishes capturing the flavour of Thailand.
The Archive
The Archive provides a relaxing retreat and creative design hub, based right in the heart of Safa Park. 
The Irish Village
With a late license and large terrace area this has established itself as a renowned live music venue.
Warehouse
This surprising venue has something for everyone, including known DJs spinning to an ex-pat crowd on weekends.
