Great Places To Go For Breakfast In Abu Dhabi 2025

CAFE 302

AL MAHA ARJAAN

If a great deal is top of your priority list, you'll love this. For AED75, they offer 4 tray variations: the Full English, the Lifestyle, the Local, and the very vegan Sunshine. On our magic tray, (the Full English) we got a fruit salad, baked beans, sausages, beef bacon, hash browns, eggs whichever way you'd like (omelette) and a bread/pastry basket with condiments. Phew! It's a lot of food and will probably keep you full until evening!

Even without the deal, Cafe 302 isn’t expensive and this being the case, you must get the pancakes. These are thick and fluffy and come with a good amount of maple syrup, to be generously poured on every available pancake surface! 

There are tons of options for vegans and good pastries and coffee, none of which costs the earth, making Cafe 302 your mid-week or weekend breakfast go-to - and one of the best breakfast deals in Abu Dhabi.

Breakfast tray deal available: every day, 10.30AM - 1PM

Tray price: AED75

RACLETTE

MAMSHA AL SAADIYAT

Raclette has launched a new breakfast platter and it’s one you don’t want to miss. With the beach now reopened, enjoy breakfast on the terrace while taking in the stunning views. The platter includes great options like salmon & avocado toast, eggs your way, mini pancakes, turkey & swiss focaccia sandwiches and much more. Enjoy a fresh juice or coffee to wash it all down.

With the usual impeccable Raclette service, great views down Mamsha Promenade from the terrace and across the white sand of Mamsha Beach, this is a great option for a more upscale breakfast in Abu Dhabi.

Timing: Daily 10AM - 12PM

ANTONIA TRATTORIA

AL ZEINA

Once again, the team at Antonia has excelled themselves - this breakfast offering is  superb.  Go for the gorgeous calorie busting bomba, stuffed with custard and rolled in sugar - what a way to start the day - or the light and sweet doughnut-with-a-hole, ciambella.  (AED25)

If pastries aren't your jam, the egg dishes don’t disappoint: the fiery red padella holds 2 eggs, bacon, tomatoes sliced with breadcrumbs, the most divine little sausages and best of all, superb, well-seasoned little potatoes (AED65). We also loved the eggs al tegamino, which we might quietly say is Antonia's answer to shakshuka. This dish made for sharing sees poached eggs in a gorgeous, herby Italian sauce, served hot and bubbling from the oven and ready to be scooped up by the accompanying focaccia. (AED45) - amazing value and very filling! Finally, the scrambled eggs are excellent. They come on a properly toasted, crusty slice of bread on a layer of ricotta and generously topped with crispy pancetta. (AED42)

This is one of the best breakfast options  in Abu Dhabi and we think, it’s worth a trip to Al Zeina for. 

Timing: Weekends from 9AM - midday

DRVN

MARSANA, HUDAYRIAT

DRVN at Marsana means a lot of things: a view of the marina and the beach, a place for little kids to have a run around or kick a ball, a spark of interest for petrolheads with a new car sitting in the middle of the restaurant to be envied, photographed and ogled over, and good, satisfying breakfast dishes.

The perennial favourite is the acai bowl, well put together with peanut butter, fresh berries, granola, chia seeds and coconut flakes- super healthy and a great kick start to the day.  

The full English is good, with eggs, sausages, beef bacon, baked beans and hash browns, while the eggs Benedict is a classic done well.

If you fancy something sweet,  the buttermilk pancakes are an amazing option, and if you feel like something really sweet, get the Nutella version! 

The 15% BB+ discount makes this a fairly decent price and it’s always a very nice, relaxed place to start your day.

Timing: 8AM - 2PM

CYAN

ANDAZ CAPITAL GATE

This fabulous unlimited deal definitely ticks the box of an Abu Dhabi breakfast with a view. The fact that you can see for miles and miles and the decor in the restaurant is so beautiful makes this a great option for a breakfast celebration  too.

There’s a small but perfectly formed buffet with pastries, hot dishes and a great cinnamon rolls dish.  Ask your server for made-to-order hash browns, pancakes, waffles, French toast and eggs Benedict. The star of the show is the French toast - crispy in all the right places and soft and pliant in the centre. Perfect!

Included in this great deal are hot beverages (almond milk is available) and the fresh juice corner is an added healthy part of the breakfast, 

The best part of this offer is that it runs daily from 7-10:30 am. Make sure to book especially on weekends because it gets busy.

Timing: 7AM - 10.30AM

Pricing: AED130 including unlimited juice, tea and coffee

GRAND NASHTA AT NAMAK

DUSIT THANI

The Grand Nashta at Namak is great for Indian food lovers and perfect for anyone looking to discover a different Abu Dhabi breakfast experience. It only runs on Sunday but it’s worth booking ahead for: it’s a real event. Enjoy this unlimited offering with live cooking stations featuring everything from pani puri to gulab jamun, amazing traditional drinks, and plenty of chutneys and toppings to really bring that flavour up.  There’s a reason Namak is Michelin selected: the standard of food is incredible here!

It’s buy one get one for the first 40 guests and 30% off for everyone after that - it’s a massive bargain and one of the best breakfast deals in Abu Dhabi.

Timings: 10AM - 3PM

Pricing: AED130 | Kids AED65

TASHAS

AL BATEEN

For many Abu Dhabians, Tashas is as close to a breakfast ‘just like home’ as you can possibly get. The ambiance is lovely - the outdoor area affords views of the Al Bateen Marina, the trees make the whole thing relaxing and the staff are absolutely on point, able to give recommendations and make conversation - what more do you need? 

Food wise, the hazelnuts in the acai bowl elevate it to something beyond delicious - why do we always feel like we’re eating Nutella with these nuts? -  the brioche French toast is superb with crispiness outside and a well-soaked inside. For anyone who loves a big breakfast, the breakfast bun is a triumph: other places have tried to emulate this bun and all have failed! Finally, for those who know that breakfast isn’t complete without an egg, the St Francis is your man: with scrambled eggs, goat cheese, cherry & sundried tomatoes in a basil pesto dressing it’s absolutely delicious.

We think the vibe at Tashas is completely on point and the kind of thing that other places should be striving for - it's definitely one of the best breakfast experiences in Abu Dhabi. 

Timing: 8AM - 6PM

THE LIGHTHOUSE

YAS BAY WATERFRONT

For a more upscale weekend or weekday breakfast with a view, The Lighthouse is a great idea. 

We like the muhammara eggs, a rich, hearty breakfast dish that will sort out any morning hunger pangs (AED57) and the avocado toast, while being more expensive than many options at AED68, is absolutely beautiful on labneh and sourdough, as is the eggs Benedict (AED79).

If you fancy something sweet, the pancakes with Chantilly cream (AED50) and the even more delectable banana bread with clotted cream (AED40) are must tries!

Timing: 8AM - 1PM
