We love surprises from our loved ones especially on special occasions. What better than taking your partner for a nice romantic dinner this Valentines at ‘Shades’ at the Address Dubai Marina?

A beautiful terrace overlooking the infinity pool and the spectacular views of Dubai Marina set the scene for a stylish evening. One can immerse in the atmosphere whilst savoring the lip-smacking selection of Tapas and à la carte offerings, inspired by cuisines from the Mediterranean to the Far East.

This Dinner was exceptionally good and the staff at Shades made it really special for us from the moment they guided us to the beautiful spot by the pool side till the time we departed. Full Red set up from red carpet entrance to the table to red table covers and the red roses. A perfect romantic set up one could dream for.

We started our meal with a selection of Tapas: Garlic Mushroom, Creamy Asparagus, Potato Aoili with some Humus and Sea food. Tapas selection was really delicious with a blend of great flavours and the smooth Sheesha along with food was cherry on the cake. Tomato Soup is a must try if you are a soup lover along with the freshly baked bread with olive and sundried tomatoes: simply appetizing . For main course we opted for Crispy Tofu, Pasta and BBQ Chicken Breast and Meat Mix Grill. Being a Vegetarian I enjoyed the Crispy tofu and my partner couldn’t stop praising how juicy and scrumptious the meat and chicken was.

Well no dinner is finished without the yummy dessert. We ordered for Peach Melba and Tiramisu and there was nothing left to be desired of.

Recommended dishes: Meat Mix Grill, BBQ Chicken Breast, Crispy Tofu, Tapas: Garlic Mushroom, Potato Aoili with some Humus. Dessert: Peach Melba and Tiramisu. Sip on the Strawberry Daiquiri while relishing the delicious food and enjoy some flavored Sheesha.

The Vibe/Ambience: Perfect for a date dinner or for casual catching up with friends over Sheesha by the pool side on bean bags. The infinity pool and beautiful Marina views with the music beats makes it a beautiful location to hang out.

Cost: A 3 course luxurious meal along with Sheesha/Mocktails can cost between AED 600 to AED 1000 for 2 people.

This should be the place you should look for this Valentines or beyond.
