B+F Roadside Diner

In the shopping/apartment complex across from the Beach Hotel in Qurum (by Jawharat A-Shati)you'll find the B+F Roadside Diner. By its name you might hope to find a home-style diner with big burgers, comfy booth seats, bar options and complementary French fries.
No such luck. While it wasn't bad, per se, it was disappointing to say the least. It's more of a gourmet boutique diner. It offers an extensive and interesting menu (all sorts of burgers and sandwiches and intriguing appetizers). However, the portions are minuscule and are served decoratively on massive white plates. Sure, my pesto chicken sandwich on ciabatta was tasty, and my husband's roast beef wrap was good (once they took it back and grilled it properly), but the serving size and price to go along was less than inspiring. And no fries!

Go...if you want a tasty but expensive tiny sandwich in an attractive but very un-diner-esque atmosphere.
