Better take full board. Lunch for two costs from 1500 to 2500 rubles (depending on the cafe and what you choose to eat.

With the permission of the topikstarter, I will also take an interest. Ira, if full board is so cheaper? What if you go on excursions?
аватар Dududushka
take a full board here, the food sucks .. you will look for food for a long and tedious time .. if you want variety, try something else, believe me, I live here and I am not happy with either the price or the quality (I'm not talking about expensive restaurants)
аватар Biker_Oksana
Dududushka, what's wrong with food? Sharp? Poor cooking?
аватар Dududushka
both and 3) this is not Thailand or Turkey ... in terms of cost and quality .. there are different cuisines dhr ... for comparison, in a more normal institution 150, etc.. of course it's up to you .. but I wouldn't waste time looking for food, especially at a time when it's very interesting in Dubai!
аватар Iriska1975
Are you going to take excursions every day and for the whole day? If you don’t want full board, take breakfast and lunch, and on those days when excursions, negotiate and have dinner instead of lunch. I don't know how it is in your hotel, but in others the change of lunch for dinner is no problem.

and the food there is really g .... Autumn is spicy. By the way, sometimes we ate at the local fast food. The first time they took a portion, the second one was already a portion for two (one shift generally cooked deliciously and adjusted a lot, the other sucks). We took: deep-fried chicken 6 paws + half a huge plate of french fries + 4 bags of ketchup + 1 bun + 1 glass of cola and this whole set cost 10 dirhams, which is about 90 rubles. But this is the only place we found where it's tasty and cheap. And in general, there are various combined sets that cost 10-12 dirhams. You can simply order pizza, hamburger, etc. separately.

At HB in this hotel you can take a choice or it will be lunch or dinner. You can go as you like once for lunch once for dinner, and you don’t need to warn anyone at the reception, etc. We took only breakfast, so as not to become attached to the hotel. There is an inexpensive supermarket nearby. The nearest cafes are 600-800 meters from the hotel. The choice of cafes is large from McDonald's to expensive restaurants. Each Mall also has a huge selection of eateries. So decide for yourself what suits you best.

Ira, I would like to take excursions to the maximum. I already "pierced" when I didn't know anything and went to Turkey for the first time for all-- and there were a bunch of booked excursions with lunches. In Egypt, I took HB, and in Bulgaria, in general, only breakfasts.
Are there such excursions in the UAE that are for the whole day? I read somewhere here that they do not differ in special duration in the Emirates.
аватар Dududushka
except that if you go to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, and then I don’t think that it’s only for half a day! well, you can still go to Fujairah .. and so everything is nearby, although Dubai is exhausting and so ...
аватар Mimila
There are full day excursions in the Emirates! Al Ain, 6 emirates, Abu Dhabi, Indian Ocean, Musandam with fishing. All of them with lunch!
аватар elmi_el
Class! Thank you all, there are so many opinions at once, I also got into the hotel reviews yesterday, they recommend HB, in order to save time, besides, their dinners are better than breakfasts, it was even written that those who took only BB lost a lot, on lunch was both meat and fish. As soon as we return, I will definitely write my opinion. Thank you all!
аватар elmi_el
here's what I dug up:
Nutrition. Breakfast - Cheese, bread (with the possibility of frying), a couple of side dishes, eggs, suspicious sausages, a couple of salads, orange juice, coffee, milk, cereal, croissants without filling. Sausages tried once, not impressed. I didn't always manage to grab the cheese. In general, for breakfast I ate only cereal with milk, poured juice (by the way, excellent juice). My girlfriend ate mainly juice with croissants.
For dinner they gave rice, pasta, potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, chicken, fish, beef (2 times), fruits (oranges, apples - every other day), dessert (something between semolina and some kind of cream for a cake with various fillers). Drinking only water. And from the tap, where the orange juice was in the morning, water ALWAYS flowed with a yellowish tint and pulp)).

I stayed at this hotel, if you have any questions I can answer
аватар Mimila
I will list everything that was there for breakfast: potatoes, scrambled eggs (or boiled eggs), sausages, beans in tomato, milk porridge, yogurt, cheese, sausage, croissants, packaged butter, honey and marmalade, muesli with milk, juices, tea , coffee, fruits (watermelons, melons, oranges).
Sausages are normal. I don't eat boiled sausage at all. Potatoes can be fried or boiled, stewed. I didn't see salads. Sometimes there were bowls with finely chopped onions and tomatoes (separately).
аватар elmi_el
I, too, don’t eat sausage :))), didn’t you take lunches?
аватар Mimila
No. Didn't take lunch.

Boys and girls, I'm afraid to seem stupid, but I'll venture to clarify. I still did not really understand about the difference in the quality of food in the hotel and outside the hotel. Outside the hotel what, hack? Or are they simply preparing authentic dishes that are not to our taste - while in hotels they are more accustomed to Slavic stomachs? All sorts of potatoes, omelettes, salads and do not run close in the local catering? Thank you. Sorry :)
аватар Dududushka
potatoes, omelettes, salads and do not run close at a local catering
you won’t find it ((((and if you find it, let me know ))) there is different Asian food, a lot of Indian, not a lot of Arabic, a lot of fast foods - McDonald’s, Burger King. Pizza Hut, CFS, Hardies, coffee shops - where croissants, etc., then more cheap and scary down town everything else a la Chebureki of unknown origin, Lots of Kebabs... well, for me it's max food for 1 time - I found a fast fub with mashed potatoes and salad in the Emirates Mall in the first foot court .. there are different fish restaurants there. .There is no sushi - or sooo expensive in expensive restaurants ...
аватар Biker_Oksana
No, no, no, I don't want to look. I eat potatoes in Ukraine too. I want authentic if I get to the UAE
аватар Dududushka
then on the road) you won’t stay hungry))) the main time is to see everything;)
аватар musyaka
Well, I don’t even know, in my opinion, so Arabic cuisine is so delicious, such a variety of all kinds of meat (and they really know how to cook it) ..snacks, pies, desserts ... you don’t often see where ..and say that everything is super spicy and it’s not tasty, it’s not quite true, for example, I’ve never come across such a thing .. although I’m a terrible picky eater .. and you can find everything in any Arab cafe, not for tourists but for residents, the main thing is not to be shy .. and you can eat very even on a budget! Here
аватар zanna-ya
I also think that Arabic food is delicious! At the expense of cafes, then there are a lot of them, if you live in Citymax Bur Dubai, then what is to the left of the hotel, what is to the right, in ten or five (if you go through the yards) heaps of cafes and eateries (take cold cuts to start), if you don’t have spicy like, ask the waiter about your preference, I did this and they did not overdo it in spiciness. Although we ended up in a restaurant called Hot Pepper or a similar name, the medium spiciness was enough for me to drink water all night. Because... just be careful.
аватар Iriska1975
About tasty meat. I do not argue, they can cook meat if it is not lamb.
