Waterlemon Cafe and Restaurant: Exclusive Gourmet Experience
Are you a food lover? I admit, I am. I'm guilty about it. But who can resist food, right? That's why no doubt that I gained so much weight with a span of just a year. At this time, I'm trying to lose weight little by little (fingers crossed).
Then here's Waterlemon Cafe and Restaurant (I read it as a "watermelon" couple of times before noticing it) inviting me for an exclusive gourmet experience. I am quite hesitant about it though. First of all, It's my first time to receive a media invitation. Secondly, I might not fit for the event. Lastly, I am planning to lose weight, remember?
But as what I usually do, I did a background check first. I visited it's IG account (@waterlemonuae) and scanned some interesting photos. The black burger and the black pizza caught really my attention the most. I even read other bloggers' review with the restaurant. Most of the food are presented with added focus on health so it sounds so cool on my ears.
What a perfect timing for me because the event was scheduled exactly on my rest day. Then, I decided to attend it because I have no prior commitments scheduled that day. I actually brought a friend of mine whom I know that is also a food lover like me.
Just for a brief background, Waterlemon Cafe and Restaurant is situated at Al Bateen Marsa Area (Al Bateen Wharf) here in UAE's Capital-- Abu Dhabi. Just few minutes ride (approximately 15 mins via cab) from WTC Mall. A breath of fresh air place for food lovers. They serve variety of international cuisines from breakfast up to dinner perfectly made by a master chef.

| Salad Bar Cost: 59 AED |
Let's start the review with its interior.
The interior truly will give you a relaximg environment with its modern style appealing to families and the young alike in any nationality. There is actually an outside dining area where you can see the stunning view of Al Bateen Marsa. The Earth tones really gives you a rejuvenating sense that will make your dining experience worth awhile.
They have a steadfast salad counter at the middle area (Salad Bar that cost 59AED). You can make your own salad and mixed it with variety of cheese of your choice.

| Manakish Cost: From 18-35 AED |
Starters
 |
| Fried Calamary with cilantro sauce Cost: 42 AED |
 |
| Buffalo Hot/ Garlic Parmesan Cost: 42 AED |
 |
| Dynamite Shrimps Cost: 46 AED |
Among the 3 starters that I've tasted, I love the Dynamite Shrimps too much. The taste is totally different and I l do like the black sesame seeds at the top of it. A MUST try!
Burgers
 |
| Waterlemon Trio Burger Cost: 59 AED |
It's really my first time to see a black burger. This is one of their famous " Instagrammable" foods. I love the fact that give a different twist with it's color.
Pizza
It's again another "NEW" to my eyes. A very Instagram worthy from their menu. According to them, its dough is actually made up of mixed vegetables and they didn't put any food coloring to make it black. For the taste, there is something that my tongue really likes about it that I can't figure out. But it gives you the appetite to grab another slice again. If that's make sense.
Main Course
The meat is so tender though I let them cook it well. The presentation is nice and attractive.
Desserts
The sweetness is perfect! It's not the exaggerated one, if you get what I mean. The presentation perfect suits the saying "Less is More". \
It's a chocolate white ball, brownies with ice cream topped with hot chocolate. Amazingly done that creates a "wow" factor to customers. The presentation is excellent and the taste is another "wow". Loving every bit of it.
Over all, the entire experience is EXCELLENT. The Dynamite Shrimps and the desserts are my personal favorites. The staffs and crews were very accommodating and knowledgeable. I appreciate the service of the entire team most especially Ms. Claudine who explained well to us the different foods served. Thank You for the invite!
To those who is now salivating upon reading this, you can also have the same experience as I did. Just visit Waterlemon Cafe & Restaurant at Unit 3, Al Bateen Wharf Retail & East Marina, Near Central Bank, Abu Dhabi, UAE or call 02-635-5050 for reservation. They are open from 8:00AM to 11:30 AM.
