Simply Abu Dhabi XIII

5 2 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I T he opening of The St. Regis Abu Dhabi signals another exciting arrival: the first Gary Rhodes restaurant in the city. A highlight of a visit to the stunning new hotel is undoubtedly a meal at one of its signature restaurants, Rhodes 44. Offering guests an intimate venue for all-day contemporary dining, the restaurant provides the perfect setting for Chef Gary Rhodes’ masterful reinventions of classic British and European dishes, complemented by Arabian influences. Often referred to as “the chef's chef”, Rhodes, anOfficer of the British Empire (OBE), is world-renowned for his tireless attention to detail and unparalleled devotion to the culinary arts. His relentless pursuit of perfection has placed him firmly at the forefront of today’s culinary world, while a history of stunning restaurants has won him a constellation of Michelin stars. Naturally, we jumped at the chance to sample the fabled cuisine of a chef with such a distinguished career. Guests can choose to dine inside the richly colourful restaurant or al fresco in the spacious garden terrace. For private celebrations or corporate affairs, Rhodes 44 also offers two private dining rooms, featuring ample lounge space for Gary Rhodes Cauliflower, Mushroom & Truffle Macaroni Cheese
