Reviews ‪revo Cafe‬

Just went for an evening coffee with friend, I dont drink coffee but this was a beautiful place with amazing view. The presentation was amazing and the fries were great

REVO CAFE, 2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 desserts, 2 prosecco glasses, 1 cider, 1 large bottle of water (DHS475, £103, $129, EUR117).

Revo Cafe was not somewhere on my radar until I booked a Dine & Unwind package through the Anantara Hotel which also hosts the Revo Cafe.  

Big hotel cafes are paint by numbers, unremarkable and transactional: a place you rest your bones before you check-out, board a flight and head back home.  

Revo Cafe seems unshackled by that convention and challenges the notions and presumptions loaded into 'cafe'.

HIGHLIGHTS:
- Fig & Goat's Cheese Salad: it's a generous portion of fresh rocket loaded with torn fresh figs, creamy tangy chèvre goat's cheese, truffled honey glazed walnuts and pomegranate vinaigrette. At 60dhs, it's a generous main course, fresh and balanced. 

- Crispy Chicken Brioche: a chicken sandwich in a cafe would hardly make an positive impression yet alone a mention. This fried chicken sandwich is crispy, moist and pressed between a mattress-sized brioche. A soft springy king-sized mattress that allows for lettuce, tomato, barbecue mayo, sweet child and coriander. The side of fries with truffle mayonnaise is just greedy but that's what makes this dish unapologetically good. 

- Pan-Seared Sea Bass: it is one of the pricier items at 95 dhs and it's one of the better casual dining sea bass dishes I've had in Dubai. It's a generous stack of sweet sea bass on a bed of braised young fennel and asparagus topped in a crown of raw apple and fresh fennel slaw. It's impressive cooking from a kitchen that also makes rice waffles and all day breakfasts. My only quibble? The tomato basil consommé is a light broth but adds very little to the dish. Either lean into the broth to amp the flavour or remove it all together.

- Chocolate Cake: it's the kind of steep, delicious, dark wedge that a 4x4 would struggle to surmount. Dense, rich, moorish, unapologetically good. You could sink this cake with a delicious port and then curl up in a chair like a cat because you'll need a nap

- Licensed. Beer, wine, champagne, sparkling etc. This is impressive for a cafe taking the benefits of being inside a large hotel.

LOWLIGHTS:
- The Carrot Cake: this shares some of the same characteristics of the chocolate cake but it doesn't work here A carrot cake should be flurry, moist, spongy and topped with a lather of rich cream frosting. This carrot cake is so dense it is almost soggy and then topped with dry oats (complete with husks) and dried fruit. The textures are off, it's not nearly sweet enough and they should go back to the drawing board.

- Location. It's far down the end of the Palm Jumeirah so you will likely never know about this place if you are not in the area. I imagine a high concentration of its clientele are hotel guests or people snuffling up offers like the Dine & Unwind.

Revo Cafe is not breaking any culinary trends. It's not pushing the boundaries of convention. There's no dry ice, no melting chocolate orbs, no table side prep. It takes good food, simple food, strips it down to its basic elements and builds it back up.  

Would I come back here again? Yes, absolutely.

My wife and I visited this cafe for breakfast and lunch while staying at the hotel . I think it’s great to have the choice between the crescendo and the Revo cafe for breakfast . We both had the eggs royale and they were delicious . All the staff are very friendly and we will definitely return on our next visit to the Anantara

I always come here to indulge in the most satisfying dark chocolate tart ever made in the world!
This dark chocolate is ganache and the addition of fruits just adds on to the taste.
The white chocolate isn't my favorite and can be removed from the tart

was staying at Anantara for the weekend with my sisters, read a lot of positive reviews about this cafe so thought i’d check it out.

Ordered;
philly cheese steak sandwich
crispy chicken brioche sandwich

Both came with average tasting mini salad and extremely oily potatoes.
on the other hand, the sandwiches were delicious, extremely fulfilling and flavourful. The bread was soft , the sauce was dripping, the meat was succulent.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

Service was great as well, waiters were very helpful, attentive and knew the dishes well.

The atmosphere is very cosy, quiet, but the place is a bit too dark and the first table we sat on was not cleaned properly.

We’re not exactly early risers but love to get up early once in a while to indulge in a hearty breakfast. It is one meal during the day where you can eat guilt free coz you know the body is working in overdrive that early. As they say, breakfast calories don’t count 😛. Whenever we have friends and family visiting us in Dubai, a drive along the Palm Jumeirah is a must which resulted us in spotting Revo Cafe located in Anantara Resort on the outer crescent. We decided to hit them up for brekkie; we thought it would be good but it was even better ya’ll.

Anantara’s cafe on the palm... the views are breathtaking specially as the winter season is around the corner... steaming coffee n burj al arab in the view n the blue sea... it just makes for a great evening out with family and friends

Came here today for their coffee and cake and it was all worth it. Ordered their cafe latte and carrot cake and it was a great combo. The carrot cake slice was huge and it was just perfect, not too sweet. They have a good variety/display of cakes from chocolate, cheesecake, tiramisu, etc. Will definitely come back again and perhaps try their breakfast and mains next time. The place is really nice, great decor with great views of the Palm. Bonus - there's valet parking as its inside Anantara The Palm. Really very easy to go to. Must try!

Great coffee and views. Love the ongoing coffee n cake promo (my kids loved their hot chocolate n cake combo). Our server Bo Bo was lovely too. Will definitely be back.
