Bahrain Postcards

Come for the Fort, Stay for the Cafe

A museum cafe like no other, GB Cafe takes all-day dining and elevates it with thoughtful dishes, carefully sourced ingredients and more.

GB Cafe isn’t just a museum cafe, it is much more.

Opened quietly in early 2021, GB Cafe is the second outpost for this local brand, following its success in Riyadat Mall. Located at Bahrain’s Fort, it is a great spot for a sit down once you finish exploring, for meetings, for quiet time or just to hang out on a mild day.

Championing quality ingredients, research and unique dishes the team behind the paired back, chic spot at the ancient Bahrain Fort cater to your every need. From a simple morning pastry and hot coffee, a light lunch or more sturdy bite. You will find a dish for every occasion.

Dishes to try:

The Chicken Shawarma might be one of my favourite dishes on the entire island! Yes… it is outstanding. I will arm wrestle anyone who disagrees.

The Lockdown Burger, launched during…yes, lockdown. All the taste without feeling the guilt. I’m still not sure how they manage that!

Arselle Pizza with clams, garlic and tomato. Explore the flavours here with this pizza, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Check out their website for all the details and seasonal changing menus here.
