This place is the ‘Merryl Streep of Venues in bahrain. To call it an art gallery is an understatement - it’s as experience a must feel emotion and a place to just find your corner and do your thing no matter what sort of person you are. Yes getting there is a task but it adds to the enigma
This is an old mansion in Bahrain. The owners did an excellent job with converting it to an art center and a high end restaurant. It's a must to visit if you are in Bahrain and especially in the cooler months to enjoy outdoor dining by the huge fountain
Good quiet place. Behind lafontaine too much of traffic congestion always .bcoz of not proper parking of vehicles..
Nice view.. romantic place for couple😍😍✌️🤩😘
Simple, but romantic placewhere you can see old designsantiques
A beautiful one-of-a-kind venue for public and private events. The outdoor ambiance is unmatched by any other venue in Bahrain. The only downside is the location is it os in the center of the densely populated capital, Manama, which makes it not very easy to reach and find a parking.
Had a nice time but the food could be of better quality for this price
The food was lousy - the steaks over cooked and the vegetables were undercooked. At least the setting was nice and artistic.
Really good food at a decent price and an amazing piece of old Arab architecture
Romantic Vintage place. A must try. To go with your beloved ones💕
After reading much about the place on #Timeout and #TripAdvisor, the place being recommended as a romantic place, I booked a table on Friday night as a birthday dinner for my wife. The attendant on the phone was very much friendly and booked accordingly. For the birthday, it was mentioned that a small cake in which birthday wish for my wife will be written and, I thought we are all set to go. As we reached the place, it looked surreal with the lighting and mood. The place wasn’t buzzing that much and there were two tables with approx. 5 each were occupied (If it is that recommended it should be considering it was a weekend). We sat inside as it was a bit hot and was promptly given the menu. From here on the service took a dip as we had to call up the staff to attend for our order. The order was mozzarella sticks, pasta and grilled chicken with mushroom sauce. After few minutes, the waitress came back and mentioned mozzarella stick was not available (surprised they were not aware off). The starter was changed to deep fried prawns. Meanwhile bread was served with butter and there were only 2 bread sticks and 2 bread roll (I mean come one). Starter was served without plates (I think they expected to eat from our hand). I had to call out 2-3 times to get plates. Due to such inattentiveness, I wanted to see the manager and was told that there is no such, and the place is managed by the owner who already left – surprise (it was only 10.00 pm). I felt a disaster and asked about the cake, surprise, no one mentioned anything to the staff though the staff knew about the booking (such unprofessionalism). I had to make them realize that this is a birthday dinner and I won’t let it getting ruin more. It was mentioned that chocolate fondant will be given with birthday written on the plate (I had to settle that). When the main course was served, mushroom sauce was served in a small jug I thought it must have been picked from a kid play set. Prawns were tasty and main course was average. Chocolate fondant with a candle was served as the staff sang the birthday wish. The fondant was of smaller size and over cooked and the chocolate sauce was very less inside. In a restaurant the main thing is service and the food taste which was totally missing from there, ambiance cannot be substitute for good service food. The staff looked over worked and not attentive – management really need to look into this as it is only the hype or ambiance if they are selling, the low turnout shows; Conclusion: Over hyped, overpriced, average food, inattentiveness and overworked staff: Avoid if you want to have a memorable night
Lots of wedding happing these days
Cosy restaurant; interesting cultural activities: viewed the docu film A Stairway to Heaven: great!
In love with the historic building . I really enjoyed the tranquility there .. I would recommend it to whomever interested about the authentic gulf architecture.
Lovely amazing historic center and restaurant. Has many cultural events throughout the year and also hosts weddings.
Loved this place start to finish. Food was good, people were nice (except one grouchy lady at the spa) and the art was excellent. I would have liked a little more information about the exhibition but it was still wonderful.
A lovely space just to be in and walk around.
Nice and cozy place for get together and small parties.Menu not super though.
A spa, a restaurant and an art exhibition all.in the most unexpected location in bahrain, with the most beautiful fountain you can remember and a good selection of food
