Al Mahara’s centrepiece – a giant fish tank – cuts into the memory like a scalpel. Black tipped reef sharks, hammour the size of toddlers and Moray eels gaze out through the immense tank, provoking bouts of guilt about what you’re about to do to their cousins. Unfortunately for them your tastebuds will undoubtedly trump your conscience. The line-caught sea bass is an absolute knockout; simply grilled with fresh vegetables and the subtlest of lobster froths, the fish’s flavours will dance on your palate. Similarly, The brawny codfish also punches above its weight, baked and served on a bed of potato with a foaming cream broth, managing be both light and pleasantly hearty. The finish will also restore your faith in Burj-priced fine dining – crêpes suzette flambéed in front of your eyes. Savouring the tang of oranges, liquor and caramelised butter encased by your very own coral reef and doted on by hordes of labouring servers this is truly a treat for all the senses.
