Bistro 22’s Happylicious Hours

ANOTHER NEW IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Yes! On our latest foodtrip, we discovered another hidden gem in Mansoura area.

I’ve always wanted to visit this new bistro located at the ground floor of the newly opened Al Mansour Suites Hotel. This was not a surprise to me since we usually pass by this hotel regularly but we didn’t know that they were already operating until i checked out their facebook page.

On their initial operation, they are promoting their HAPPY HOUR MENU from 6pm to 8pm where guests can buy 2 pizza, pasta and/or mocktails for the price of 1. So we tried their Fettuccinne Alfredo, Margherita Pizza and selected 2 of their recommended mocktails for the price of 1 (they even gave a complimentary drink for our little Jasmine).

Our orders came in no time since we were the first customers for dinner. The cheesy pasta was good for my taste, the pizza was ok but you have to finish it quickly since the thin crust pizza may tend to get cold quickly… and the mocktail was enough to quench you from the humid weather outside. Overall, it was a good meal at a very affordable price… in a very cozy atmosphere.

However, we got lost while entering the hotel’s main door. We have to go around the block once again only to find ourselves on a narrow roadway. Our suggestion, since there’s no way to enter from the main Rawdat Al Khail Street (from Holiday Villa signal going to Almeera Mansoura), turn around the block and park right beside the hotel. The space was very limited to make a better entrance and parkway while the ongoing road constructions further limit the parking space on the side street. Although aside from these minor issues, everything else was good.

EXTRA!

This is not a sponsored post but it is also very hard to resist the staff’s invitation for a quick room tour. So, we were able to check out the standard rooms of this 7-storey hotel. Aside from the restaurant, they will soon be opening their swimming pool, gym and sauna facilities at the Basement 3. The room-only rate starts at QR275 (choice of queen or double bed) plus optional QR50/persons for breakfast. They also have fully furnished rooms ideal for long staying tenants.
