Hello John,
For croissants, cakes, brownies and good Illy coffee, go to Breadz (at Souq-Sharq, Waterfront). There is a Ivy-Caprice inspired restaurant at Villa Moda (London chef Mark Hix was the original consultant, but the food has changed quite a bit). Sakura, at the Crown Plaza, is a very good Japanese restaurant, cool and comfortable inside. Johnny Rockets is good for american diner-style. Kuwait is the francise city, so expect all of the main food brands (minus the pork). Lenotre on the waterfront is great for views, but I found the food dire. Arabic food a safe bet, and quite good (didn't find anywhere remarkable). There's a bizzare "world of ice" exhibition, slightly off the main drag driving out of town. Strange place, a bit like a large shopping mall.
regards
Dan
