When it comes to cocktails (try the Samoan Fogcutter or the Honi Honi), nowhere competes with this fun and lively Polynesian-style venue. Resident stirrer and shaker Hubert Fernandes, assistant bar manager, has been making ’em how you like ‘em for a decade and is an undoubted expert. With live Latin music (except Fridays) and wafts of Mongolian barbecued choice cuts, you’ll probably be seduced into staying for dinner. Located at Hotel InterContinental Muscat, Shatti al-Qurm.
