Pots, Pans & Boards | Tom Aikens new restaurant concept in Dubai
Foodies in Dubai will be excited to hear that Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens is opening his first eagerly awaited restaurant concept Pots, Pans and Boards. The restaurant is set to open its doors early September and will be located at The Beach, opposite JBR.
Tom Aikens is one of the UK’s most acclaimed and inspirational chefs, owing to his innovative style and creative interpretation of modern French cuisine.
The Pots, Pans and Boards menu will consist of a mixture of casual English, Mediterranean and French dishes, with a home-style offering of sharing starters, main courses and desserts. All dishes will be cooked and presented on a pot, a pan or a board – hence the inspiration for the name.
Tom has stated: “We absolutely cannot wait to bring Pots, Pans and Boards to the people of Dubai and are keen to offer up something completely different to what currently exists on the Dubai food scene.
The concept behind Pots, Pans and Boards stems from my own nostalgia of family and home-cooking in a bustling and comforting environment. Sharing food with friends and family means so much to me; it brings people closer together and makes the whole aspect of dining and eating out a truly enjoyable experience.”

If you are in Dubai this July and August, and you have been reading our travel features in Phuket, you might want to treat yourself to a little taste of Thailand at one of SOTP’s favourite spa in Dubai, SensAsia Urban Spa.
What we tried: The Eve Lom Ultimate Cleanse
Time: 1 hour
Price: AED540
Therapist: Anna
Thoughts: I haven’t let anyone give me a facial in Dubai in 5 years after a horrific experience at a spa (we won’t name and shame them) that I haven’t been back since. I normally just have some botox at my husband’s clinic but since I am still breast feeding so that isn’t an option right now and my skin has been looking more tired and dull after 4 children. Looking for an alternative I decided to give my trusted spa a try. I think the quality of treatments at SensAsia Urban Spa are great, built on a strong foundation as the owner, Salina Handa, grew up in Thailand, and she has such a lovely and simple philosophy to her brand. The treatment was a lovely cleanse using Eve Lom products and a deep clean with 2 masks applied to the face. Anna was light handed and the treatment was relaxing.
Results: My dull skin after all the hormonal changes from having a baby was brighter and cleaner. It wasn’t a glow as such but my skin definitely looked better – I even got my plastic surgeon husband to judge it and it had his approval! Believe it or not, but I will be back.
Top tip: Ask for Anna – she is a really great and experienced therapist for facials.
Special offers: If a facial is not for you, you can treat yourself to a massage at 40% off the regular prices. A 60-minute Balinese massage normally priced at AED399 is only AED279 until 31 August 2015. These prices only apply to certain signature massages that are booked between 10am and 4pm.
SensAsia Urban Spa has four locations, The Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Golf Club, Souk Al Manzil Downtown Dubai, The Village. For more information about the spa and locations go to www.sensasiaspas.com
