You are all familiar with Aladdin's cave of wonders, right? It was that desert cave that was filled with golden treasures and the genie's lamp. Well, this is another type of cave in Dubai and it may not offer you gold and genie lamps, but it sure will fill your palate with
indulgent flavors.
I'm talking about Cave La Reserve which essentially is a wine-bar, but if you think is only a wine-bar, then you are in for a shock.

One of these has daybeds where you can lounge whilst enjoying a glass of grape, a nibble and happy company.
Another one has a fire place, that with the addition of exposed brick work and leather details creates a cozy mood, if then you try Cave's signature's fondue in this setting, I promise you, you'll feel as you were beamed to Chamonix!

Tucked away in the mezzanine floor ofConrad Dubai, Cave will start to impress you as soon as you step into it.
You will feel as you are entering a cave with the stone carved walls and interiors, but just like often caves open up to some beautiful places that leave you in awe, Cave opens up into series of pods and an alcoves that are gorgeous.

Cave is an experience!
The design is incredibly stylish, yet homely. Dark hues in the furnishings and soft lighting create a relaxed and modern feel.
All this plays perfect setting to Cave's Pièce de résistance: the grapes. There are over 500 different types to choose from and that alone is astonishing, however what we loved in particular is the fact that 35 of these are served by the glass! Compared to the 4 or 5 (if you are very lucky) wines that you can find available by the glass in most bars, this is quite frankly, incredible!!
After a chat with Cave's sommelier I discovered why they can do this. It's all in the technology they have set up in the conservation of open bottles. The reason why in 99% of bars and restaurants you only have a few wines available by the glass is that once a bottle is open if it doesn't get consumed in a short time oxygen will turn the wine into vinegar, however if you take out the oxygen from the equation, the wine can last much longer be of perfect condition and taste.
