The One and Only: Beach Bar and Grill

The beach bar and grill is at the One and Only Royal Mirage. The setting is better than you could possibly imagine. Out on the multi-level wooden decking, with chunky rope railings and a view out over the beach it does look like a holiday brochure come to life. There are palm trees, golden sand stretching out in front of you and clear water sliding up and down the shore.

Insider's Opinion: For main course the tenderloin is a fine chunk of ex-cow and cooked wonderfully with a rose pink centre and requisite tenderness. They also do the famedwagyu beef here but the steak is less than half the price and certainly better than half as good as wagyu. The sea bass is a tender and flavoursome piece of fish, it just felt a little to minimal to suit the surroundings. That said, the setting outside is just so perfectly relaxing it demands that you undo the top button, sit back a bit and loosen up a little.
