El Gran Gatsby Restaurant In Puerto Banus

A week ago I had a very special occasion and wanted to celebrate it in the unique and exquisite place. There are a lot of nice places around Marbella and Puerto Banus, but I needed not just a nice place, but something really special with spectacular views, romantic atmosphere and tasty food. So, I thought about El Gran Gatsby, recently opened restaurant in the exclusive place in Puerto Banus. I must say that I was taking a little bit of risk by going there, since this restaurant just opened and it was hard to find any reviews about this place. Anyway, I decided to trust my gut feeling and the fact that the owners of the place also own Magna Cafe, another famous and great restaurant.

I booked a table through the form on their site, after one hour a girl called me to confirm my booking and ask what time and where I preferred to be sited. Since I didn’t know the place I asked the girl to give us the best table they have. I really hoped she would place us at the best possible table, but I forced my expectations to stay low to avoid disappointment.

And so in the evening I put on my new dress, good mood and was ready to check out the new place and celebrate my special day.

When we arrived at El Gran Gatsby, we were pleasantly greeted and seated at the best table! I was so happy! The table was really the best I could think of with spectacular view of the port with amazing yachts on display. Also, because the restaurant is situated on the second floor, you can see the whole panorama of the port and my favorite La Concha mountain on the background. The interior also exceeded my expectations, it was cozy and at the same time very chic. At this point I could relax and start to enjoy my evening. It was time to order.

Although El Gran Gatsby has extended and exquisite choice of wine, we decided to go for my favorite Mumm Cordon Rouge champagne. They have more expensive champagne of course, but I somehow prefer Mumm and there is nothing you can do about it

As a starter we tried carpaccio of red prawns with spicy oil and ajo blanco sorbet. It was amazing! You can hardly understand that you are actually eating prawns, because they were cut so finely. I loved it.

As a second course my husband tried Asturian beef sirloin steak with virgin olive oil and allumette potatoes:

And I went for salt baked sea bass from the Veta de la Palma estate, served with potatoes and a spicy mojo sauce:

My Sea Bass was really good, and I haven’t even tried what my husband was eating, since I couldn’t even finish my dish. We both were very satisfied with the quality of food.

I also tried a desert, but it was just an ordinary chocolate fondant with chocolate ice-cream, nothing special.

I want also to mention exceptional service in El Gran Gatsby restaurant. During the evening at least 5 waiters were fussing around us, making our night so special. I want to thank everyone at the restaurant for such a wonderful and great job!

After we finished with the food, we walked around the restaurant to the open roof lounge area, where you can enjoy cocktails and food till the early morning. Maybe next time I should check it out as well.

I really enjoyed my time at El Gran Gatsby restaurant in Puerto Banus and would recommend this place for a quiet and romantic night or to take your business partners or guests to show one of the best restaurants in Puerto Banus. I am sure everyone will be satisfied.

Rich girls, have you been to El Gran Gatsby already? What do you think about this place?

Yours,

Rich Girl

Highlights Of Marbella Luxury Weekend

Marbella Luxury Weekend was worth spending your time and money on! I had really amazing time during these 4 days of luxury, fashion, champagne and party. Such events make you feel special and glamorous as well as remind you of why you love this Spanish city so much. But let’s just review the Marbella Luxury Weekend in more detail.

First of all there were two really cool VIP areas specially constructed for the event. One was located on the East end of the Puerto Banus, right next to Lanvin store.

The other one was located next to the Tower of the port.

VIP areas were created like glamorous tents with lounge sofas and thick carpet, it was really cozy and looked chic. The major parties and private events were held in these areas, which you could only access by invitations or VIP passes.

I got mine from Bulgary store together with complimentary bottle of “Mon Jasmin Noir” perfume, which I loved! But I will tell you more about Bulgari, when I will be writing about the best parties of Marbella Luxury Weekend.

By courtesy of Marina Marbella, there were complimentary yacht service for the guests to go from one VIP area to another. Which was great, since it is approximately 15 minutes walk in high heels from on side of the port to another.

The event started on the 2nd of June with the official naming Marbella as a City of Luxury by the Spanish Association of Luxury, following by a grand celebration. All eyes were pointed to the stage, where internationally renowned violinist Jia Yi-Susanne was playing a 10 million dollars valued violin. During her performance ballerinas unveiled new breathtaking white McLaren MP4-12C sports car, which made the crowd cheer in delight.

Here is a video I found on Youtube with the Jia Yi-Susanne and launch of the McLaren MP4-12C during Marbella Luxury Weekend:

After the amazing performance and presentation, Marina Marbella – leader in boat sales and services for more than 40 years, showcased their three latest yachts in the water right next to the amazed guests.

In the second V.I.P. area located next to the Tower of the port, the luxury brand Emeshel hosted another opening night of Marbella Luxury Weekend, where they were launching sculptures, fragrance and jewellery and partied till the morning.

The opening of Marbella Luxury Weekend party was really spectacular. During the following four days, there were also other parties like the one by Salvatore Ferragamo, where guests could enjoy good company and watch the manufacturing of a hand made Ferragamo shoe by one of their artisans from Florence. As well as dinner-cocktail event by Belstaff with the launching of their jackets. But as long as I was not invited to any of these events, I am not able to tell you if they were worth going.

Apart from the grand private events in the VIP areas there were a lot of parties organized by the selected brands in their own stores. It was amazing, imagine having a DJ in a luxury boutique with caters rushing around with trays of hors d’œuvre and champagne. Well, it was cool and I will tell you about the best of them in my next post. Stay tuned, rich girls!

Oh, and here is just few pictures of me, hope you don’t mind.

Yours,

Rich Girl

Pizzeria Belvedere Puerto Banus Marbella

The weather is starting to get better and better every day here in Marbella and all I want to do is go out and enjoy the sun. I think Spring is the best time of the year here in Costa del Sol, because it is sunny, warm and not as extremely hot as it is in Summer, when you just can’t do anything other than sit in the places with good air conditioning.

I continue exploring my neighborhood with my precious companion – laptop Today we decided that we want to sit close to the Sea with amazing views, eat good pizza and drink coffee with milk. I had my wireless Internet with me, so I was not looking for a place with wifi, just good terrace with the Sea view, away from the cars and people (damn, I am starting to be antisocial).

I was walking down the Paseo Maritimo de Benabola and right on the corner I have found the perfect place called – Belvedere Pizzeria.

The terrace looked comfortable and modern with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.

At first I just wanted to drink coffee and enjoy the view, watching small yachts and boats going out or entering the marina.

But after sitting in a total “Zen” mode for what felt like hours, I started to feel hungry and ordered pizza. Yes, I know this is not healthy and I was supposed to be on a diet. But I have an excuse, pizzas is Belvedere’s specialty and they cook them in a wooden-oven.

Pizza was amazing, I had no intention to eat the whole pizza by myself, but I haven’t actually noticed how my plate got empty so quickly. I blame it on the birds, they ate it all

On my way back home, I made a picture of the interior of Belvedere Pizzeria. Although, I doubt that anyone will want to sit inside on a sunny day, it still looks stylish. What do you think?

I really enjoyed my time, spent in Belvedere, it is a great place to go and drink a glass of something, especially now, when the weather is so magnificent! By the way, here is weather forecast for the next couple of days. Sunny!

What is the weather like in your city at the moment?

Yours,

Rich Girl

Babilonia Puerto Banus

Today my day started early, with painters knocking at my door at 10.00 in the morning. Argh, hate such early mornings with strangers in my house, doing something behind closed doors. Were they working there or just chilling?! Well, I guess they did something there, because after they left my apartment smelled like toxic waste. I couldn’t work in such conditions, so I decided to go out. Luckily the weather in Marbella is perfect now, it is warm and sunny, tourists are already wearing shorts and flip-flops, I wonder if they swim in the sea? So, it is almost a shame to sit at home, especially if you are not forced to spend certain hours in an office.

My mission for today was:

1 – do some shopping to lift my spirits after intrusion
2 – find cozy place, preferably with wifi, to work

Going shopping in Puerto Banus is a pleasure, because you can find almost any shop you want, except Chanel, here. And if you haven’t found what you need in boutiques around the marina, you can always head to El Courte Ingles, where you definitely find what you were looking for. So, shopping is fun here, the problem is to find a cozy cafe in Puerto Banus. We don’t have Starbucks, Costa Coffee or even something similar here. You can find a lot of expensive or affordable restaurants, sport bars, ice cream cafes, clubs, tasty sushi places, but what Puerto Banus is lacking in my opinion is a cozy cafe with exceptionally good coffee, relaxed atmosphere, selection of good deserts and free wifi. Place where you can go with your laptop and nobody will be annoyed of you occupying a table for a couple of hours with one coffee.

So, today I was searching for the perfect place to have a drink and have some undisturbed quality time with my laptop. And I found it on the front line in Puerto Banus, place called Babilonia. This bar have just been renovated. Now it is the latest stylish and yet cozy addition to the Linekers Group chain. Babilonia bar is a perfect place for lounging on the comfortable couches, watching marina and passer-by’s while sipping cocktails with friends and getting in the right mood for the party night.

They have very good cocktails and wifi in Babilonia, so today I have spent amazing few hours there and I will be back, for sure.

I hate taking pictures with my laptop camera, but today I was in a good mood (or just the cocktails kicked in), and here I am saying “Hi!” from Babilonia Bar Puerto Banus

I loved it in Babilonia and would definitely recommend this place. But still it is a bar, not a cafe, so if you know a nice coffee shop in Puerto Banus area, I would love to know about it and check it out while it is not that hot outside for coffee.

Come to Puerto Banus and have a good time!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Autumn days in Rich Girl’s Life

It is already November, but here in Marbella it still feels like summer – sunny and warm! The only difference from real summer here is that you can actually enjoy walking outside during daytime, instead of hiding in the air-conditioned places till dawn like a vampire and there are fewer tourists hanging around, which is fine by me.
As I already told you in my previous posts here on Rich Girl’s Blog, my laptop died in the end of September just one night before my trip to Monaco and as it is always hard for me to make a decision, it took me more than a month to actually get a new laptop. Now, I am a happy owner of the newest and coolest Acer model TimelineX, yeah!

I am loving it!! It is so thin, light and stylish, and battery holds more than 6 hours so, thanks to this cool feature I now write this post enjoying the sun and amazing views of Puerto Banus Marina and sipping my favorite Strawberry Daiquiri. And I finally will be able to post some pictures from my latest trips along with the stories.

As to my social life here on the Coast, just this Wednesday I attended Twitter networking event here in Nueva Andalucia. It was attended by a lot of Twitter users who live here in Spain or who happened to be here at this time. They said that this event will happen once in a month, so I am looking forward to go there next time as well. I can’t miss amazing cupcakes!

Also, I have finally found place to play in mix-ins tennis tournaments. Now every Saturday I play tennis for two hours with cool girls here on the Coast and after that enjoy drinks, tapas and live music with my rivals. After that I prefer to end Saturday night in my favorite venue in Puerto Banus – Seven! Yesterday, I was dancing there like this was the last night in my life!!! Amazing atmosphere and music.
One more cool thing that happened to me recently, I tried for the first time gelish manicure. It is awesome!! They told me that I can forget about my nails for 3 weeks now I will probably write about it a separate post, to prove you just how cool it is
Other than that, I am leading a quiet life in the greatest place in the world.

I hope you are having a great time and unforgettable Autumn! You know that you are always welcome to share your news with us, right?!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Summer is just around the corner and it is time to pack for an unforgettable adventures and luxurious relaxation on the beach. I love summer, the most amazing things in my life happened to me during three summer months and that’s why I am so anxious. Have you already planned your summer holiday?! Are you going to stay in your house in Hampton or travel around the world? As I mentioned before I will spend my summer 2010 in Marbella with lots of parties and occasional trips throughout Europe. And as I am going to be here it is only logical that I would love to share more information about this glamorous and luxurious resort city with you.

Marbella is a high-profile place and I am even not afraid to call Marbella as the one of the most luxurious resort towns in the world. Marbella is the mix of Saint-Tropez and Monte Carlo with huge marina and exquisite parties, with numerous villas of some of the richest people on Earth. Marbella is a Mecca of prestigious charm and up scale living. If you are looking for relaxing retreat or an upbeat getaway for parties and entertainment, Marbella can meet any request with ease. Super-rich Saudi princes, Hollywood and various sports stars, European royalty and billionaire tycoons choose Marbella for their vacation and living.

You can find anything you are looking for in Marbella – numerous golf courses, tennis courts, famous Puerto Banus – with great number of bars and nightclubs, yachts, celebrities, glamour and exclusive and expensive designer boutiques, casino, cinema, beach clubs and much more. So, guess I have managed to convince you that Marbella is the perfect Rich Girls’ hang out place for summer. And I haven’t even mentioned about the parties yet!!

The parties here are crazy! Imagine spraying vintage champagne all day long on each other?! This happens in Ocean Club’s famous Sunday Champagne Spraying Parties and Nikki Beach’s Champagne World Tour Party. These are the most luxurious parties with rivers of expensive champagne, beautiful people, sun and music. Last year, OCEAN CLUB was the biggest outlet in the World for Veuve Cliquot largely due to Champagne Spraying parties where over 2000 bottles got sprayed throughout the afternoon. Legendary SINTILLATE CHAMPAGNE SPRAYING SUNDAY PARTIES at OCEAN CLUB are taking place at the end of every month. This year on 30th May, 27th June, 25th July and 29th August. The cheapest entry for this party is 100 Euros, including 1 bottle VL. But Rich Girls usually party with friends and no doubt order Super VIP Square for 12 people, which cost 2975 Euros. Here is the video of one of such events happened in the past:

Nikki Beach Champagne World Tour Parties are different, but also lots of fun and the nearest will take place on Saturday, July 24th.
