Nice cafes that overlook most of the Dancing fountain?

Any ideas on the best one? Tried Baker and Spice but view was not great and food terrible!

More, Carluccios & Wafi Gourmet.

The restaurants I'd suggest Rivington Grill and Mango Tree.

Looking for somewhere mid price as there are 4 peeps going. My mate loves the Rivington but it is fairly hefty no?

I

Mango Tree and the view of the fountain is awesome.

A meal there will set you back around 100 AED a head max, obviously more if you're having a drink.

Sounds good! Are you sure about the price? Thai food isn't it?

I don't think it's very pricey. Not compared to major hotels. They also offer a Sun - Weds business lunch that is good value.

The first three I mentioned are cheaper.

May I also say how much I hate the word peeps. What is wrong with saying people, unless you are five years old? Grrrr

Yeah I'm sure about the prices, I've been there about 3 times in the last fortnight, it's Thai and very nice.

The average "curry" dish is around 60-70 AED, rice dishes are less and noodle dishes somewhere in between.
