Ah, Bread Street Kitchen, a royal delight fit for a saucy family on their extravagant three-week vacation in the regal suite of Atlantis The Palm! This being the fourth visit for the queen and third for the rest of the family (yes, I had a cheeky solo holiday before—don’t judge), it’s no surprise that Gordon Ramsay’s eatery remains one of our favorite dining spots. So much so, we dined here four times during our stay! Let me spill the (saucy) tea.
If you’ve opted for the half-board package, there’s a small upgrade fee to dine at Bread Street Kitchen, but let me tell you, it’s worth every penny. Unfortunately, you can only dine here for dinner, unlike the Wave House, which sometimes lets you swap for lunch. A little restrictive, but nothing to dampen the excitement of this queen.
Cocktails? Divine. On our last evening, we were even gifted an espresso martini. Now, as some of you queens might know, I’m on a coffee ban (a true tragedy in itself), so my king gallantly downed both martinis. Not ideal when we had a 3 a.m. flight, but the effort was appreciated. The wine selection? Exceptional, though you might feel a slight sting in your purse—it is Dubai, after all.
Having visited in the summer months, dining al fresco was sadly off the cards. On past visits, sitting outside with live music has been a joy, but with the heat outside rivaling the hotel’s fire pit, we kept it cool indoors.
Now, to the main event—the food!
Would we return? Abso-bloody-lutely! In fact, I’d stay at Atlantis just for Bread Street Kitchen alone. And let’s not forget their Sunday roast—not to be missed, ever. Be sure to check out our review.
Saucy Score: 10/10. Not a single complaint from this saucy family—just pure, unadulterated culinary bliss. Gordon, we’ll be back, forks at the ready! The British charm is absolutely irresistible. And for a bit of extra fun (little ones or, ahem, larger ones—yes, Kings, I’m talking to you), don’t miss the iconic phone box. After hearing Gordon Ramsay’s classic phrase “You Donkey!” several hundred times during our holiday, I can confidently say we laughed, laughed, and laughed some more. It’s all part of the experience!
Until next time.
Stay saucy, Saucy Meal Queen
