newcomer in film
Idris Elba is no stranger to voicing animals in movies.right in our minds, once he was in crazy zooTiger in The jungle bookthe sea lion is Finding Nemo 2a cat in catand more recently the space echidna Sonic 2. He’s just one of those deeply emotional voices. The new film, which is expected to hit theaters around mid-August, is a bit of a turnaround, seeing our man Idris and his two daughters try to hide from a particularly rampant lion in the open plains of the African savannah.

Mamsha Al Saadiyat’s Raclette Brasserie and Café’s Menu Du Jour aren’t technically business lunches (at least by name), but it does share many of the same defining qualities. It’s a three-course menu, served Monday to Friday between 11am and 5pm, priced at AED 109, including a house-made drink. Alternatively, you can upgrade to a package that includes two hours of free flow for a total of AED 139 (this includes Prosecco). When we visited, we started off with French opnion soup, creamy mussels and tarts. It makes us think this might be the best deal in the Mamsha Al Saadiyat strip.
Mamsha Al Saadiyat, Saadiyat Island, Monday to Friday, 11am to 5pm. Phone: (02) 546 2277, @racletteuae
