WHAT IS IT...

Healthy café in

Barsha Heights

WHY GO...

For the tasty, veggie-

friendly dishes

SOMETIMES IT CAN be tricky

persuading the kids to eat

healthily, but at Brambles you’ll

have no issues in getting them to

wolf down their food.

Salads, pizza, frittatas, French

toast, moussaka and even vegan

tacos adorn the main menu,

while chicken, broccoli and

Parmesan pasta, chicken

teriyaki and peanut butter,

strawberry and banana

toast are on the newly-

introduced kids’ version.

Brambles is the perfect

place to visit for a lazy

long breakfast (available

all day) or a chilled-out

relaxed lunch. It’s located

in a hotel lobby but it’s

tucked away just enough to feel

calm and relaxing.

Pastel pink walls and Insta-

worthy cushions give this

restaurant a laid-back yet cool,

family-friendly feel.

Everything we sample is super-

fresh and tasty. The vegan tacos

are a must-try – packed full of

roasted sweet potato and crunchy

red cabbage while the sweet

potato and kale frittata is another

hit, served with sriracha yoghurt

and a small rocket salad.

For those wanting a lighter bite,

go for the delicious cacao açai

bowl for a healthy sweet treat.

With vibrant, tasty dishes and a

great kids’ menu, Brambles could

become your go-to lunch spot.

Brambles

O Open daily 6.30am-7.30pm. Unlicensed. Auris Metro Central Hotel Apartments,

Barsha Heights, Dubai (04 452 9529).

IT’S RARE TO find a restaurant

like LOWE – one which blends

creative cuisine with an extensive

menu that is sure to keep all the

family happy.

Everything about this new

contemporary dining spot is

absolutely bang on, and you

should get to KOA Canvas right

now to experience it yourself.

Every single thing we order

is steeped in originality and

inventiveness, with adventurous

flavour combinations and creative

presentation that doesn’t stray

too far from the restaurant’s

warm and homely vibe.

The dishes here are shared

between the table, and even

younger eaters will love unique

options such as the pressed

cucumbers in a delightful smokey

labneh or the whipped aubergine

in crunchy ancient grains.

And that’s just the starters.

The main courses bring more

joy, with a ricotta agnolotti

paired with braised capretto and

chard leaves as well as enough

Parmesan cheese to fill a deli

counter. The broken wheat salad

with crispy duck leg is enormous,

and the blood orange

segments add a

deliciously sweet twist.

But the highlight has

to be the interesting

chocolate and

sunchoke dessert

that comes with

coffee grind caramel

and honeycrunch.

It’s a total fusion of

flavours and textures,

all carefully stacked in

a dark brown bowl of

deliciousness.

Although there’s no dedicated

children’s menu, the main version

is relatively kid-friendly, with a

molten cheese Vegemite toastie

and buckwheat waffles among

the best dishes for youngsters to

get their little hands on.

However, the cheery staff are

happy to make modifications and

substitutions for fussier eaters

• even going to the trouble of

offering to prepare special off-

menu dishes for smaller diners.

For a family meal that

combines inventiveness with

stellar service, head for LOWE –

all the family will love it.

WHAT IS IT...

WHY GO...
