Eats: Friday Brunch at The Ritz-Carlton Bahrain

Friday brunch is a big thing here, similar to Sunday brunch in the States. The only difference, they don't start until after noon and they're usually held at hotel restaurants. The good thing about brunch in Bahrain... they serve alcohol :-)

So, we figured for our first brunch in the Bahrain, why not go to the best... at The Ritz-Carlton! Below are sample pictures of the spread. Note: this is just a sample. That's how massive the buffet is. Unfortunately, there's so many delicious looking things I couldn't eat because I'm pregnant at the moment but, don't you worry... I'll be back to indulge!

Our bill for two came to BD 58 (including tax and service charge) which is about $150. Mind you everything in Bahrain is expensive but, considering some of the items on the buffet line and that alcohol was included, I found the price to be reasonable.

There's not a lot on the buffet line that's baby friendly so I asked them to make scrambled eggs with cheese for our baby. It came out delicious, our baby loved it. He also ate bits of the waffles, some cheese and fresh fruit.

To go to any Friday brunch, reservations is highly recommended. We lucked out in getting a table despite not having a reservation, partly because we went early.
