10 curated restaurants & dining across Abu Dhabi
One Michelin star. Cantonese cuisine in the Emirates Palace. The Peking duck, the dim sum, and the black truffle roasted duck are exceptional. The most luxurious Chinese dining in the Middle East.
One Michelin star. Contemporary Lebanese cuisine on Saadiyat Island. The mezze, the grilled meats, and the beachside setting make this the finest Lebanese dining in the Emirates. The sunset terrace is extraordinary.
La Petite Maison's Abu Dhabi outpost. French-Mediterranean cuisine — the same burrata, tuna tartare, and truffle pizza that makes the Dubai original essential. The terrace overlooking the waterfront is beautiful.
Japanese omakase with Abu Dhabi flair.
Authentic Emirati cuisine in a traditional setting. Machboos, harees, luqaimat, and karak chai. The most culturally immersive dining experience in Abu Dhabi. Run by Emirati families.
Casual Lebanese with waterfront views. The mezze platters, the grilled halloumi, and the fresh juices at Al Maryah Island. More accessible than Li Beirut, equally delicious, and a fraction of the price.

The beach outpost of the Buddha-Bar franchise on Saadiyat Island. Asian-inspired cocktails, lounge music, and sunset over the Arabian Gulf. The most relaxed high-end beach bar in Abu Dhabi.
2 curated hotels & stays across Abu Dhabi
Gold-domed palace hotel.
Ian Schrager's marina-side hotel with Michelin-starred Talea, a rooftop pool, and minimalist design. The younger, cooler alternative to the palace hotels. The marina location is excellent.

10 curated experiences across Abu Dhabi
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The twilight race that starts in daylight and ends under floodlights. The Yas Marina circuit, the after-race concerts, and the Ferrari World theme park nearby. December. Book a year ahead.
The perfect Abu Dhabi day. Morning at the Louvre Abu Dhabi under Nouvel's rain of light, lunch at Li Beirut for Michelin-starred Lebanese, afternoon on Saadiyat Beach, and sunset cocktails at Buddha-Bar Beach.
Free waterfront promenade — skyline views and modern architecture.
8km of pristine waterfront. Rent a kayak, swim at the Blue Flag beach, or walk to the Heritage Village.
The Liwa Desert — the edge of the Empty Quarter, the largest sand desert on earth. Dune drives, overnight camping, and stars like nowhere else. More dramatic and remote than Dubai's desert. The real Arabia.
Kayak through Abu Dhabi's mangrove national park — flamingos, herons, and turtles in a natural lagoon minutes from the city centre. The most unexpected nature experience in the Gulf. Best at sunrise.
