Simply Abu Dhabi XXII

7 6 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Dining Destinations A stay at the Emirates Palace is a dazzling feast for all the senses, not least of which is taste. Embark on a culinary adventure all around the world in one of the fourteen restaurants and lounges throughout the Palace. Not sure where to begin? We’d suggest first immersing yourself in Abu Dhabi’s tradition and culture at the award-winning Emirati restaurant, Mezlai, showcasing more than 100 different local dishes. Then, investigate a few of the Palace delicacies that have developed something of a cult following among delighted visitors and locals: the famous Palace Cappuccino, sprinkled with 24-carat gold flakes, or for a regional twist, the Camelccino, made with the finest camel milk and served with dates and chocolate. The Palace also serves an opulent afternoon high tea, in the classic tradition, complete with savoury sandwiches, freshly baked scones and lovely little cakes. Indeed, each of the fine dining choices is not to be missed. From an authentic taste of Italy at Mezzaluna to succulent meats off the grill at BBQ Al Qasr, fresh seafood at Sayad and contemporary Chinese cuisine at Hakkasan, Emirates Palace boasts award-winning restaurants in every corner. And in addition to the range of treats on offer at the Palace’s cafés and lounges, the refined Le Vendome Brasserie offers its sumptuous international buffet all day. For a truly VIP experience, the Palace Ceremony is an opulent in-room dining service should you wish to indulge in it. Be pampered and waited upon in the privacy of your own room or suite whilst you dine on gourmet dishes specially prepared just for you.
