We have seen restaurants come and go over the years but even within a week we had doubled our cash this year. Ferrari World 450 saved, Al Muna Brunch 425 saved, Captain Jack 120 saved just to name a few. I for one find Paul very overrated, the service at JBR is nothing short of horrific so no moans from us, although i do find the Butcher Shop decision a strange one. We have Fine Dining too though and Travel so not to complain. Just use it as an excuse to find somewhere new to eat :)

Thank you SEY83. I'm going for brunch this weekend so got a bit excited at that news! It seems there is only one voucher, but better than nothing of course :-)

Suze63, Can you tell me where the Mina al Salam brunch is in the book? Is it fine dining? I can only see vouchers for individual restaurants at the Madinat. Or is it an offer on the Entertainer website? Thanks There is lots of new stuff in there though....Apres in MOE is back, The Ivy, Latitude Brunch at JBH, Mina a Salam Brunch (ANY beverage package), Rivington Grill (both venues). It still saves us a great deal of money at any rate, although hugely frustrating when a favourite disappears.

I also agree that it is not as good this year. Thankfully I only bought the kids book.

OMG it gets worse ! Paul has gone as well!!!! How can the Butcher Shop and Grill be classed as fine dinning, its in the food court in MOE and full of bikini wearing people on the walk !! that's ridiculous !

The Butcher Shop and Grill is in the Fine Dining. No vouchers for Paul either... How is a place at the mall Fine Dining?!??!! I really didn't have plans to pay for the other book...but maybe I should have a peak at it? Paul was the other one I was trying to think of that I knew was missing... I guess at the end of the day you will get your investment back and then a lot more. I paid 300 with The National and we have used a couple of vouchers already.

I agree lou86. No Costa, Paul, Butchers Shop and Grill, Dhow and Anchor. Rather dissappointing this year!

Yes agreed that it's not as good. Yesterday we went to California Pizza Kitchen, I didn't have the book with me, so we ordered and then I went to get the book from the car. I then found out that the deal is now only for pizzas...sigh...as we had ordere a pizza and a chicken pasta dish... We also wanted to go to The Butcher Shop and Grill, but found that had been removed as well...

I think Bidi Bondi is in there but under Shoreline and the vouchers cover all the places in the Shoreline Apts. I felt the pain in Nobu on Friday which isn't in there this year!

It started going downhill last year when almost any restaurant better than Burger King was moved into the 'Fine Dining' version. Don't think I'll be bothering with the main book this year.
