SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi Launches Vivo Lunch, a Midday Celebration of Pan-Asian Flavours

SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi has unveiled Vivo Lunch, a specially curated daytime service that distils the restaurant’s distinctive fusion philosophy into an accessible midday experience. Available every Friday and Sunday from noon until 3pm, the offering invites diners to explore the bold and balanced flavours that define the group’s celebrated approach to Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine.
The two-course menu begins with a warming miso soup before guests select from a considered range of starters. The main course follows, completing a culinary journey designed to satisfy both the palate and the schedule of Abu Dhabi’s most discerning diners. At AED 145 per person, Vivo Lunch positions itself as an elegant yet accessible entry point to the restaurant’s kitchen philosophy.
Versatile Dining for Every Occasion
The timing and structure of Vivo Lunch suggest a service conceived for the varied rhythms of modern life in Abu Dhabi. Whether hosting a business lunch, enjoying an extended catch-up with friends, or simply dedicating an afternoon to unhurried dining, the service accommodates multiple dining occasions within its three-hour window. The inclusion of miso soup signals the kitchen’s commitment to authenticity, whilst the flexibility of the starter and main selections speaks to a respect for individual preference.
A Refined Expression of Fusion
SUSHISAMBA’s signature tri-cultural approach, which has garnered international recognition across multiple locations, finds new expression in this focused midday format. By distilling the restaurant’s broader menu into a streamlined two-course structure, the kitchen highlights its ability to balance and harmonise influences from three distinct culinary traditions without diluting their individual character.
The launch of Vivo Lunch reflects a broader hospitality trend in Abu Dhabi towards more intentional, purpose-driven dining experiences. Rather than simply extending existing menus into new dayparts, the restaurant has crafted a service that respects both its culinary identity and the practical needs of its daytime clientele.
Vivo Lunch is available every Friday and Sunday from 12pm to 3pm at SUSHISAMBA Abu Dhabi, with reservations recommended for groups and business parties.
