Café restaurants in Bahrain

  1. A

    The Conservatory

    One of the oldest cafés in Manama, this has earned a fine reputation for its excellent teas and homely atmosphere. Step through the door of the town house and it feels like stepping into a secret garden.

  2. B

    Casa Blu

    This fashionable Arabic-style café has a personality as large as the giant TV screens suspended from the ceilings. Antique typewriters, tills, cameras and gadgetry strewn around the walls will keep you occupied if your companion's conversation doesn't. The plush divans, kofta kebabs (around BD3), sheeshas (around BD3) and live hip hop music add to the mixed-messages of this quirky venue. Dress code stipulates 'no thawb without gutra' - in other words, don't wear shorts.

    Bare legs are not the only things stopped at the door: the 'blue' in the title discourages 'evil eye' from entering too.
