• Row on 45★★ Michelin This gastronomic venture comes from acclaimed British chef, Jason Atherton. Its name combines the acronym for its “refinement of work” and its location on the 45th floor of The Grosvenor House. A penthouse-like setting with an open kitchen, this intimate culinary experience seats 22 guests and offers a 17-course tasting menu divided into three acts. The dishes feature fine Japanese ingredients prepared with French techniques, such as amebi and bafun uni. The full menu is sophisticated, refined and immaculately presented, delivering well-judged and complex flavours. If you’re going to opt for t98.6km
• MikaBib You can taste the Riviera at this lively restaurant in Yas Marina. Appealing and sophisticated, it’s tastefully designed and offers terrace seating - perfect for alfresco dining during cooler winter months. Expect a well-priced Mediterranean-inspired menu with noteworthy specials and vibrant dishes that are as fresh as they are full of flavour. Their breads are freshly baked in-house, they cure their own salmon and even make their own limoncello! Leave some room for 'Nonna's' tiramisu, you won't regret it. The attentive and friendly team add to the warm Mediterranean experience.74.5km
• Bua Thai CafeBib Hidden in a massive retail complex in the heart of Yas Island sits this cosy and colourful Thai café. Expect simple Thai lunches and an authentic menu adorned with the likes of steamed hagao, vibrant chicken green curry and, of course, the ever-so-loved mango sticky rice dessert. Take a seat on the terrace during cooler months, but be sure to book ahead, especially at weekends.75.0km
• Erth★ Michelin Meaning ‘legacy’, Erth is made up of many striking elements, from its dramatic location as part of the Qasr Al Hosn cultural site, to its bold architecture. Inside, the polished concrete and bespoke furniture, along with modern majlis, make for a unique environment. Equally memorable is the food which, while modern, is anchored firmly in Emirati traditions when it comes to flavours, cookware and ingredients sourced from farms across the Emirates. A modern take on lamb machboos delivers tender lamb slow-cooked in a sweet and savoury teriyaki sauce, served with fluffy, fragrant rice. We suggest 99.2km
• ťazalBib It may be quite hard to pigeon-hole the style of cooking here as it’s a fusion of European influences and Arabic touches, but the results can be exhilarating. Dishes such as Iranian kabab and bang bang shrimps are as delicious as they are original; the kaak Al Quds is another example. The modern room has an urban feel and the service is delightful. They do a very good weekend breakfast and coffee is also a passion of theirs.83.1km
• OtoroBib This friendly, contemporary Japanese spot is perfect for a bite to eat when visiting the nearby National Aquarium in Al Qana. The space has a relaxed, funky feel and is dominated by a large open kitchen to watch the team in action. The experienced chef, under the aegis of consultant-chef Akmal Anuar from 11 Woodfire in Dubai, has a diligent brigade supporting him. Ingredients are flown in from various prefectures of Japan, like wagyu from Kagoshima, otoro from Tokyo and uni from Hokkaido. Signatures include yellowtail with green chili and leche de tigre, wagyu striploin with truffle jus and wa83.4km
• Al MrzabBib The bright neon sign is the first thing you notice about Al Mrzab; the second thing is the sheer number of diners who flock here, so expect to wait for a table – but the team cope well with such a busy restaurant. Photos of old Abu Dhabi line the walls, while seating is split between private cabins, majlis and conventional tables. The traditional Emirati and Kuwaiti dishes are packed with flavour, use quality ingredients and offer good value for money. Be sure to finish with the hot, golden, cooked-to-order khanfaroush drizzled with local honey.95.4km
• Beirut Sur MerBib The name says it all – this is about enjoying Lebanese food by the sea. Managed by MBT and with an experienced team occupying the open kitchen, you can expect all the classics, from mezze to mashawi; and don’t skip the desserts as they’re good too. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. The large, colourful and contemporary dining room also boasts a beautiful beachfront terrace. An ideal spot for post-cultural refuelling after visiting the nearby Louvre Abu Dhabi.95.8km
• AlmayassBib Almayass is where Lebanese and Armenian cuisine meet influences from around the Mediterranean. The original was founded in Beirut in 1996 and this large Abu Dhabi branch, where the circular booths are the prized seats, continues the tradition of offering an extensive menu of very generous portions – ideal for sharing. Start off with one of their fresh, vibrant Itch salads before moving on to Meshwi Shekaf – grilled veal with spiced bread. This spot is not just for one-time visits – you’ll have to come often to do this menu justice.96.9km
• Bait MaryamBib Named after the owner’s mother, this passionately run ‘home’ offers a warm welcome and delicious, home-style Levantine dishes cooked with love. The extensive selection of dishes blends old with new; some are crafted with generational recipes, while others are modern homages to classic Levantine flavours, such as Maryam fukhara, kibbe meatball cooked with pomegranate molasses in a claypot. Sit in the cool, tranquil dining room or out on the glass-enclosed lakeside terrace. The lunch ‘dish of the day & soup’ is a steal – and dessert, the kunafa kheshne in particular, is a must.97.0km
