Meat Point

Meat Point is the à la carte steakhouse at Rixos Bab Al Bahr, one of the resort's reserved-dining speciality rooms within the all-inclusive programme. The interior is plush and low-lit - dark woods, brass sconces, leather banquettes - and sits close enough to the Show Centre that an after-dinner walk to the nightly performance feels part of the evening. The menu leads with steak. USA, Argentine and Australian cuts are the core of the offer, cooked to request on a charcoal grill and paired with a catalogue of classic sides and sauces. Starters lean towards the familiar crowd-pleasers - dynamite shrimp, tartares, salads - with a respectable dessert selection to close. Portions are generous. The Rixos all-inclusive system requires a morning booking at 9am sharp to secure a slot, which sets expectations for arrival and dress. Experiences are uneven on the busiest nights when the room fills up - a handful of guests mention slow pacing and attention drifting to larger tables - but the core steaks and service, when consistent, are the best of the resort's à la carte rotation. Book the earliest sitting, request a table closer to the outdoor terrace if weather permits, and order across both the steaks and the supporting plates.
