A popular venue for Friday brunch, the Market Place has a charming ambiance that is enhanced by the sight of the manically-busy chefs at work at the circular preparation bar. Though not the largest of restaurants, it manages to cram in all manner of hot and cold delights in its central station and stand-alone areas. What the street-side Marriott may lack in stunning Jumeirah-like views it more than makes up for in its commitment to quality. |
