Restaurant Detail
Summer Place
Description
It’s never advisable to tinker with the ingredients of a tried-and-tested recipe – an extra dash of salt here or a few more sprinkles of spice there and you end up with something that has little resemblance to the original. If only this apt culinary allegory had been considered when Summer Place, formerly at the Metropolitan Hotel, reopened at the Habtoor. The former was an unashamedly kitsch and fun venue but such an unpretentious concept would never do at the Habtoor, and as such, the decor consists of black and dark-red furnishings with disco lights. The cuisine is much more straightforward, featuring zesty sweet and sour chicken and sizzling king prawns – classics that the original Summer Place did so well. While dishes are decent, they’re too expensive. Either the kitchen needs to get creative, or the venue needs to drop its pretensions and prices.More Details
