Shakespeare and Co! The very name is familiar among ardent food lovers. Just the very mention of it tantalizes their taste buds and stirs up the most voracious of cravings. With the establishment of Shakespeare and Co in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2000, it soon launched its first outlet after one year. The overwhelming positive response led to spreading their corporation to nine restaurants in Dubai, backed up by central warehousing and central production kitchen to maintain high standards.

The best part of the restaurant is its ambience neither so casual that it leaves you feeling offhand, nor too spiffy for comfort thus, playing the double role of a diner and a cafe. The interior is designed on the pattern of the fifteenth century Shakespearean/Victorian era, allowing you to float through time. The floral prints, the turquoise and fuchsia lace decor and the service staff clad in baggy shirts give off a charming and luxurious aura.
Proclaimed as the jack of all trades, the cuisine here varies from outlet to outlet but succeeds in dishing out skyscraping quality gourmet food and drinks. The diverse menu ranges from all-day-breakfast, pizza, international salad, to meat, fish and vegetarian main courses topped off with delicious deserts to satisfy the sweet tooth. Shakespeare and Co is best for an early breakfast, with its Eggs Benedict being famous all over Dubai. Another specialty is the Shakespeare Classic Chicken, made with the choicest and most tender of chicken breasts. Their orders can be adjusted to the right amount of spicy, bland or salty to suit your temperament. The only drawback is that it does not specialize in specific cultural cuisines, so if youre looking for a French or Thai dinner then you will tend to end up disappointed. However, their other perks more than make up for it, such as the shisha being offered in over fifteen flavors. The dining areas are spacious, and the staff takes meticulous care of the hygiene levels. It is actually surprising to see a place so spotless! The service is speedy, and the waiters are always buzzing about, ready to come to your assistance at the slightest cue.
Shakespeare and Co also offers special Ramadan menus, during the Muslims Holy Month of Ramadan, and provides catering in any specified venue. So if you dont feel like stepping out of your home, dont fret! Let the food come to you!
All in all, a drop in at this restaurant is guaranteed to be an amazing experience for youngsters and elderly alike. It is a great place to kick back and relax, and not a bad deal considering that prices are fair. Its tailored to suit your style, so if youre a tourist in Dubai with a stay of over a month, then you are highly recommended to pay a visit. Its sure to leave you coming back for more!
