I was introduced to Jones the Grocer in Qatar at the Gate shopping mall where I spent a good deal of my spare time. I love the high end designer stores. People sometimes complain it's too small but I like the luxury brands and glorious eateries.

The reason I like Jones the Grocer is it's a great place to meet my friends, it's safe and the customers are very mixed and cosmopolitan. I like that as we like to people watch. The food is really good and fresh an international menu so there's definitely something for everyone from burgers to creative salads and lots and lots of sweet treats too.

I like the modern decor, steel exposed ceilings and modern lighting all adds to the ambience.

I was in Dubai last week and visited the one in The Palm. It was very busy and we had to wait for a table. The food didn't disappoint although it was a little more expensive than we had expected.

We went on a Thursday and enjoyed the steak special with fries, 200 AED including dessert. The service was good. The best thing about this spot is the view from the patio, really special and something we don't get at The Gate.

i recommend Jones The Grocer. I always enjoy my visits.
