Shakespeare and Co. The Dubai Mall

Lots of seating, great location when you are tired of walking around the mall. The seats are very comfortable.

The food was average, the price was high in my opinion. I really didn’t enjoy the food I had but I’m not sure if it was the choice of wrap or simply not good.

My wife on the other hand enjoyed her dessert.

The service was slow. There seems to only be one server and he was very occupied with other customers, or wiping tables/floor.

I could see our order sitting on the counter top for a noticeable while before he went to collect it and bring it back to us.

The server was very friendly and accommodating, just that he was alone and the service was simply slow.

I would avoid the shrimp and avocado wrap. Had to force it down simply because I’ve paid for it.

Vast amount of items to order from the menu, Ordered a Granola Bowl It looked nothing like the photo on the menu but it was tasty. Customer service was ok. Be careful when ordering coffee in a paper cup, it will spill and ruin your clothes.

What’s not to love about this place. From ambience to food everything was perfect.
Loved their avocado toast.

Reminiscing the good old days of studying english literature back in school, along with some excellent eats @shakespeareansco . Our hunger pangs were satisfied with our orders:

‘Chicken Melt’: the name suggests its simplicity, but it had a lot more to convey than it seems. Starting off with the brioche bread toasted to beauty on every side, just look at that golden goodness. Layered inside are generous portions of marinated chicken, a good oozing of melted mozzarella and cheddar cheese, rucola leaves, tomato salsa, sundried tomato marmalade, and mayonnaise, served with a bowl of salted potato crisps. The chicken was aromatic especially with the hint of char it gave off, the crunch from the rucola combined with the sweet-summery tomato marmalade(loved this one), tangy-ness from the salsa that wasn’t spicy which definitely paid off as it didn’t take away the flavours and who is going to complain when there’s more than one type of cheese involved in anything let alone a toasted sandwich, aaahhh. I would say this is one of the most unique sandwiches I’ve had till now, because all the fresh ingredients used, the taste, flavours and to think of such pairings is beyond delicious, and it isn’t an ordinary eat. As well as, I did like the fact they served it with potato crisps instead of fries, gave that added crunch and edge to the entire dish. A highly recommended big bite.

‘Tortilla Wrap’: this was such a tummy-filling eat, consisting of simple yet wholesome ingredients served fresh and warm, surely made us drool. Sautéed chicken with mushrooms, bell peppers, onions and tumeric, cheddar cheese served with sour cream, guacamole, mixed greens and potato crisps, then a final toasting does it. The filling was too delicious, strips of chicken was tender, with a slight crusted exterior, the spices used was not overpowering. You get that crunch from the vegetables along with a touch of sweetness form the peppers and onions, and the tartness kicks in from the cheese. We were glad that the sides were served separately, that way you could taste the wrap individually and just dip in to get a mellow hint from the guac and the sharp taste from the cream. The guac was fresh and creamy, combine that with the sour cream you could finish those two on its own. It may seem as though there’s a lot going on, on a single plate, but it actually doesn’t feel that way...the salad with a simple dressing and the crisps served makes this dish whole. We loved every bit and bite of this, no complaints what-so-ever.

Conveniently located at one of Dubai’s prime hubs, @shakespeareandco can be found @thedubaimall . Boasting with elegance, beautiful furnitures, decors and atmosphere, this restaurant conveys everything there is of the Victorian Era. I am a fan of english literature and its novels and even better its movies , a place as such takes me back to that time. Everything about this place, especially the color schemes, tasseled lampshades as lightings and mismatched furnishings made me fall in love even more. The personality of this eatery is very relaxing to be in, just you and your food. Check my insta-stories/ highlights ‘Shakespeare and Co. The Dubai Mall’ , for more.

They offer a delicious menu, also catering desserts, savouries and much more for any function/gifting or why not just drop by and eat them away. Pretty eats with pretty presentations especially their dessert selections, you cannot miss. We absolutely loved their complimentary bread basket with homemade garlic butter, so fresh and warm, the butter just melts away. We were greeted with smiles and such generosity, that our first impressions started on a high note. The staff had impeccable customer service, very attentive, quick and courteous. The manager on the floor made it a point to tend to each table inquiring if everything is upto par and are we enjoying our food. Such behaviour shows sincerity and professionalism that we deeply admired, job well done everyone.

I was there with my special friend
The ambience was great .. service was great too.

I’ve got really disappointed with my food. My avocado toast with poached eggs was just disgusting. First of all the taste was weird, it was oily and spread all over the plate outside of the bread. I ate a bit and gave it back. The waiter even didn’t ask what was wrong as the food was not finished or half eaten. My husbands pancake was ok, but nothing special. However, cakes are tasty there

Great options for Vegans and the food is delicious! They complimentary bread they serve is also vegan ????
Awesome food and service. Highly recommended ????????

The food was acceptable. Nothing special.
I once ordered a fruit plate for 10 dirhams since it wasn’t in the menu. Next time I went I also ordered a fruit plate but i was charged 24 dirhams for it and it wasn’t in the menu as well.

The view of burj khalifa is absolutely beautiful however the service was AWFUL. I told them multiple times the service was not acceptable. They are understaffed, you have to call them multiple times for anyone to come! I had to run after them to get my bill exchange as my cab was waiting outside.
