"Bahrain is no stranger to good food! The range of options available is extensive - from low-end to top-end and from standard cuisines to the downright exotic. All you have to do is FIND it!"

Here are the current contact numbers for some popular restaurants in Bahrain, as published by Gulf Weekly. So far, I've visited Monsoon, Zoe, a quaint little restaurant near Hash House (I can't seem to remember the name), Soie and Al Safir. Anyone have any comments, tips and reviews on the following? I plan to write a couple myself...time permitting!
