Hi, Sunil here with your Abu Dhabi guide to the best restaurants in Abu Dhabi.

And before I dive into this, I want to disclaim that this list is not by any means an all encompassing comprehensive list. It is merely a list of places we have experienced and care to inform you about.

The idea is to expand on this list as we experience more of Abu Dhabi.

We also ask you to come back and let us know of your experiences so we can improve this list for everyone else!

Best Restaurants in Abu Dhabi

Some of the best restaurants in Abi Dhabi can be found inside four and five star hotels. It just makes sense if you think about it.

This place gets a lot of tourists and visitors (whether for business or pleasure). All these visitors stay at one of the many Abu Dhabi hotels.

So doesn’t it naturally make sense to have some restaurants inside the hotel so that the guests don’t have to leave the premises? It totally makes sense. Not only does the hotel make more money, but it also provides some more convenience for their guests.

These restaurants are open to everyone. It is completely normal to have more non hotel guest diners in the restaurant on any given night. So again, this is not a comprehensive list. It is just a list of places we like, agree of and want to tell you about so that you can enjoy your experience when you head to Abu Dhabi.
