Unlike some other media titles, FooDiva reviews restaurants and foodie experiences anonymously, whilst paying her own way. This ‘no freebies’ policy means you can trust FooDiva to speak her mind, and to share ‘impartial, intelligent restaurant reviews’. The reviews offer constructive feedback, and are simply the opinion of FooDiva alone. FooDiva does dine with guests to allow for a greater variety of dishes and a better representation of the dining out experience.
FooDiva likes to give new restaurants one month to settle in before visiting for a full-fledged review – unless a restaurant chooses to publicly announce soon after opening in which case we may review earlier.
FooDiva scores restaurants on a one (poor) to five (extraordinary) knife rating which reflects my experience on four parameters; food (from presentation to taste), service, atmosphere and price.
In some cases, FooDiva is asked to review kitchen products – rest assured that even if the product is gifted, the review will be honest and impartial based on FooDiva’s trial of that particular product.
Restaurants and F&B suppliers, please do monitor your reviews and feel free to respond to your customers by using the comments function. You can turn a negative experience into something positive and improve customer satisfaction.
With the U.A.E’s burgeoning dining scene, FooDiva is inundated with requests to attend restaurant launches, menu tastings and new chef introductions. Whilst we will attend as many media events as possible, coverage on the site cannot be guaranteed. However, we will try our utmost to share event news on our Twitter feed and Facebook page.
Stay tuned!
A bientôt.
