The Agency At Emirates Towers

Although The Agency is probably most known for the wide selection of wines, I think I'm going to be a regular mostly because of tapas, pates and yes, wine drinking as that's already a given. The whole place is laid back, perfect for after work hang out or any other night hang out. I might even bring my kids and we can just relax by the patio of Boulevard while we amuse our emp

Last night, I went there for the first time with my friends. We were a bit hungry but we didn't want to really munch a whole lot of 'the usuals'. As we read the menu of carefully selected concoctions, it made us so excited that we wanted to order every single thing. But we knew our eyes eat more than our tummy, so we settled for "Cheese Fondue", "Tapas Platter to Share" and "Foie Gras". The French Merlot they served didn't hurt the lovely spread at all. It was just heavenly.

Cheese Fondue came in a bubbling pot with crisp white and brown bread for dipping. It was just beautiful. Every dip excites you like as if you haven't had the last few ones you already ate.

Tapas platter came in on a long wooden serving plate. It has crackers, walnuts, fruits, selection of cheeses and pork cuts. It went so well with everything that we ordered.

The Foie Gras was served with small butter breads on the side and once you put it in your in mouth, everything just stops. You don't know whether it's the bread that makes the combination Uh-May-Zing? or it's the pate' that makes it stand out.

By the time I finished my 4th glass of wine, I'm well fed, relaxed and really happy. I was with great company, we had an amazing chat, we reminsced how we all became friends and talked how we plan to remain great friends.

Three wines, one juice, one water, one Corona, one cola, Tapas Platter for 2, Foie Gras, and Cheese Fondue cost  AED 565. It is money very much well spent!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!

    I take my reviews seriously albeit all the jokes in it... :) if you're a resto I did not rate well, it means you have to try harder ... hopefully next time, I'll give you a better review.

    *Reviews are my own opinion. Dining reviews are segregated into anonymous and hosted categories.

    Sadly, consistency is an ongoing issue in most F&B outlets, our hosted dining tend to be better than paying customers' and so your feedback is much appreciated.
