Within these pages, Bahrain This Month serves up one of our most flavourful editions yet, with a special focus on Bahrain’s culinary scene in our Top Chefs feature. We profile the leading artisans who are shaping Bahrain’s restaurant culture, one plate at a time. From innovative fusion cuisine to fine dining finesse, these chefs are creating a gastronomic identity that’s uniquely Bahraini and globally inspired. Among them is Alex Resnik, co-founder of Brasero Atlántico Bahrain, who shares his journey and passion for blending Buenos Aires flair with local warmth. Our spotlight on dining continues with a visit to Charthouse Bahrain – a rising star in the local food scene. With its inviting ambience and bold flavours, it’s fast becoming a go-to for those seeking comfort and creativity on the plate. June also brings our heartfelt Father’s Day feature. We sat down with six inspiring fathers from across the Kingdom to explore the evolving role of fatherhood in modern society. Their stories reveal how dedication, love and vulnerability have become the new hallmarks of being a dad in 2025. One interview we are particularly proud to deliver is the first exclusive interview with His Excellency Md. Rais Hasan Sarower, the new Ambassador of Bangladesh to Bahrain, who reflects on diplomacy and the enduring ties between both nations. We also hear from celebrated photographer Ishaq Madan, whose work graces our cover, as he discusses storytelling through the lens and capturing Bahrain’s cultural soul. Over in Woman This Month, we proudly revisit our Woman of the Year Awards 2025 Title Sponsor Announcement, hosted in collaboration with Porsche. This remarkable event brought together leaders, creatives and changemakers in an evening of elegance and empowerment. The June issue also includes our Aesthetics feature, which dives deep into the evolving world of beauty and wellness in Bahrain. It explores how women are redefining selfcare and expressing their identities through aesthetic choices that prioritise confidence and authenticity. As always, Bahrain This Month remains your Guide to a Great Way of Life.
