Having visited Friends Avenue<\/a>\u00a0earlier in the year, I was very excited to see what offers were available at sister property Arrows and Sparrows<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0Winding my way through the Greens (the scene of cherished days from many years past), I parked in the adjacent parking lot (make sure you keep your ticket to get validated before leaving) and walked to the shady side of a business building (outdoor seating available in this lovely weather).<\/p>\n

The menu at Arrows and Sparrows, like many a cafe, is not reinventing the wheel, but instead offers a few creative takes on the classics. \u00a0For example, while I tend to find a full English breakfast a bit heavy, I found the ‘local’ inspired breakfast<\/em> (a DEAL at AED42, including a filling combination of sourdough toast, poached eggs, hummus, salad, tapenade, salad, minced lamb and halloumi) to be exactly what I was looking for. \u00a0Meanwhile, across the table, my dining partner’s Miss Benedict<\/em>\u00a0AED44) also looked like a treat — the traditional hollandaise is made pink with the introduction of beetroot, and the large plate also includes saut\u00e9ed asparagus and kale. \u00a0Our drinks were on point, with an iced latte<\/em> and lemonade<\/em>\u00a0as lovely accompaniments to the brunch. \u00a0As with many a similar restaurant, the breakfast menu is served weekdays until 1 PM and weekends until 3 PM, so there is no rush to get out of bed. \u00a0Having a peek at the remainder of the menu, I found a number of items I would be happy to come back and try.<\/p>\n

Other than being a bit cold inside (bring a jumper) and the music a bit too loud (shouting at 11 AM seems a bit unnecessary), this was a very well spent AED60.

Would I go back? \u00a0Sure thing! \u00a0It’s a cute spot for a meet up\u00a0with friends, and I love supporting local businesses.<\/p>\n
