BARBOSSA
Yas Bay
Best for: a Mexican fiesta in the heart of Yas Bay
Barbossa’s prime position on the promenade at Yas Bay means it’s the perfect spot to nosh on gorgeous Mexican food. And now you can sample Barbossa’s best at with this fabulous BB+ offer. If you think you might be hungry at the end, think again: portions are huge and we’ve tried them all (for research purposes!)
So what’s the deal? AED235 nets you 1 starter, 1 main, 3 drinks and (if you have room) 50% off desserts! You can choose from a great selection for each course - plenty for vegetarians as well, which we love to see - with the likes mango salad with fresh avocado, tuna ceviche tostada, Barbossa ceviche (slivers of cod with cucumber and a piquant dressing), flautas and pollo fritto all on the starters menu. Mains are substantial: fajitas, lamb shoulder barbacoa, sea bass fillet or a generous serve of 4 tacos sure to fill up even the hungriest person - we love the fried chicken!
Drinks to wash it all down are excellent: as well as tasty margarita, house beer, wine, prosecco and all house pours are included in this deal.
Top tip: unless you’re diametrically opposed to it, we suggest you order one thing each, and share. You can thank us later.

LE BISTRO BY SALMONTINI
Le Royal Meridien

This menu is a good one and low-key perfect if you'd like to go out and have a few drinks or a few mocktails without spending a fortune or going too large.
There are four courses: start with the best burrata and feta, a good kale salad and an excellent salmon carpaccio - though it might be the fresh tuna lettuce cups that swing us over the 'favourite' line. Mains are varied: choose from a superb entrecote steak, a sizy sushi platter, a salmon pave or a divine chicken schnitzel sandwich - definitely something for everyone. For dessert, we rate the chocolate fondant!
Drinks are solid! Choose three from any house pours, beer and wine or mocktails if that's more your jam. Whatever you choose, this an an amazing night out for under AED200!

Moksh, with its gloriously beautiful interior and outstanding food, is one of the best Indian restaurants in Abu Dhabi and sure to please and impress everyone you take.
The five-course tasting menu, which gives a vegetarian option for each course, kicks off with a superb amuse bouche, followed by some crazy-good starters including a unique twist on panipuri, filled with tamatari shorba. Choose between mushroom pepper fritti, Moksh bright pink samosa, Patrani black cod, and Seekh tacos for starters.
Mains include coastal prawn curry or malai mawa kofte, both served with biryani and assorted naan and dessert is great: date halwa pudding accompanied by the pistachio green pan mawa kulfi creates a striking contrast of colors.
