And now for my incognito reviews of two new restaurants here in Dubai - modern Mexican, Cocina Tres - and French, Maison Mer - dedicated to paying subscribers. I am trialling something new (yet again!) with three headings covering my musings and photos:

This much-appreciated support allows me to show up here with my best work, just for you.
