ive been contemplating moving to Jumeirah. to wake up near the beach, and start my days with lime tree cafe's famous breakfasts. a proof of how crazy i am about breakfasts, and about Lime Tree Cafe.
there's just something about this cafe --it's location, it's interior, it's garden, it's crowd, it's food, that sends you off to another place. a special place where people wake up early and dress up nice just to have breakfast. my kinda place. it has become an institution in dubai, famous for it's breakfasts, cakes, and some organic and fresh options. their food always look, and tastes, fresh and inviting.
breakfast starts at 7:30 in the morning. ends on 11am on weekdays and at 1pm on weekends. we get there on a friday, around 10. the queue was long. as expected. the day's specials were written on the giant blackboard, the rest of the breakfast menu painted on the wall. it was no easy task figuring what to get, everything on the menu looks interesting. the sandwiches and cakes in the chillers are not helping either. there's a reason why the queue was long, gave me time to decide.
the pot of muesli with mangoes were so tempting i was so close to having that for breakfast. but i needed something more substantial.
you'll be mine next!
i decided on the posh one, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast. and the big one for my fiance, which is basically the whole shebang. i guess he needed something way more substantial.
we sat outside, taking advantage of the nice weather in dubai (before it gets almost catastrophic). the flowers and the lime trees out there just completed the experience. but before we experience anything, we had to wait for our food. which was sad to say, took almost an hour. we understand there was quite a lot of people, but an hour? i always believed that good food takes time, but an hour? on second thought, i should've just ordered that pot of muesli and got it out of the way. regrets.
after some time, our food came. the preparation and arrangement of the food was superb. almost made me want to forgive them for my near-to-hypoglycemic-stage.
the eggs were delish. the salmon was perfect. the whole thing was amazing. all is forgiven.
tried the big one, the chicken sausage was yummy that i even forgot it was chicken. the beef bacon was not bad, and i loved the grilled tomatoes. my fiance enjoyed the homemade hash browns, never a fan of those so i can't really say.
if there's one thing lime tree cafe is most famous for, it's their carrot cake. most people say it's the best in dubai, and i agree, without a doubt.
breakfast, check.
cake, check.
ambiance, check.
this cafe easily is one of my favorites in dubai. and that's after they made me wait for an hour to be fed! they must really be that good.
Lime tree cafe branches are in Jumeirah Road (opposite Spinney's supermarket), Ibn Battuta Mall (China Court), Media city (opposite Royal Mirage Hotel) and Al Quoz (near Times Square Mall). All cafes closes at 6pm, except for one in Ibn Battuta mall that closes at 9pm on weekdays and 10pm on weekends.
Happy Sunday, everyone!
