An Italian restaurant that has grown beyond café expectations Bella Vita by Labelle sits in Khalifa City and carries the hospitality DNA of Labelle Chocolate, but the current food offering is much broader than a dessert-led concept. Experience Abu Dhabi describes an Italian and Mediterranean restaurant open across breakfast, lunch and afternoon dining, while the […]
A little old Brussels on the marina Belgian Café has been part of InterContinental Abu Dhabi’s dining identity long enough to feel less like a theme restaurant and more like a city fixture. Its formula is direct: Belgian comfort food, a deep drinks list, big-screen sport and a ground-level marina setting that opens out beautifully […]
Lebanese food that belongs by the sea Beirut Sur Mer has the advantage of a setting that feels completely aligned with the food. The restaurant sits directly on Mamsha Al Saadiyat, with the Arabian Gulf visible beyond the terrace, and its menu is rooted in the generous rhythm of a Lebanese table: breakfast, cold and […]
Southern Italy makes sense on Saadiyat Beach House has one of those concepts where the food and the geography naturally support each other. Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi describes the restaurant as authentic Italian cooking influenced by recipes from the southern Italian coast, with daily fresh seafood and a family-style approach. Set directly against Saadiyat’s beach, […]
Yas Bay with a Latin accent Barbossa understands that its waterfront setting is not enough on its own. The restaurant gives Yas Bay a distinctly Latin pulse, combining modern Mexican and Latin American flavours with what the brand calls LA-style sophistication. By day, the windows and terrace connect the room to the marina; after dark, […]
A garden lounge rather than another hotel bar B-Lounge’s greatest asset is that it does not feel boxed into the Sheraton Abu Dhabi. The venue is tucked into the hotel’s palm-tree gardens, with open-air seating and the Arabian Gulf beyond, so the experience is closer to a relaxed resort hideaway than a conventional lobby bar. […]
A familiar name, sharpened into a coastal grill The Al Raha address, long known simply as Azur, has been given a clearer identity by the resort. Its current official name is Azur Grill, and the change is more than cosmetic: Al Raha Beach Resort & Spa now describes it as a modern Mediterranean coastal concept […]
A familiar restaurant in a newly named hotel Assymetri has been part of Yas Island’s hotel dining landscape for years, but the property around it has entered a new chapter. The restaurant is now associated with Yas Plaza Mangroves by IHG, replacing the older Radisson-era identity that still appears across some legacy listings. The current […]
The Spice Route as theatre Asia Asia’s organising idea is the ancient Spice Route, the network of trade that linked East Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. At Yas Bay, that history becomes visual theatre: a richly decorated dining room and lounge overlooking the waterfront, with a menu that moves across Asian cuisines […]
A restaurant built from a life in food Asha’s has always had a more personal premise than the average international Indian restaurant group. Its driving force is Asha Bhosle, one of India’s most celebrated singers, but the menu is not a celebrity branding exercise detached from the kitchen. The restaurant describes its food through Bhosle’s […]
