Best for French

Arguably, the best business lunch in Abu Dhabi is at one of the best restaurants in the Galleria al Maryah, La Petite Maison.  The menu is wide and appeals to every taste - choose a couple of starters between you, a main and an excellent dessert, all without feeling like you’ve overeaten.  Do order a glass of wine or one of La Petite Maison’s great cocktails or mocktails alongside your business lunch. This lunch is full every day so do make sure to book.

Best for exceptional food

Peruvian is one of the most interesting food cultures in the world, encompassing both Japanese and South American elements. COYA is one of the Galleria al Maryah’s best restaurants, with water views and gorgeous decor and the business lunch is a steal. The food is exceptional quality: enjoy both sushi and sashimi alongside South American favourites. Plating is beautiful and service exceptional.

Best for Italian

The business lunch at Antonia Chic is one of Abu Dhabi’s most underrated. Antonia’s reputation for Italian food in Abu Dhabi is strong and the business lunch is carefully thought out to incorporate salads, light meat dishes and seafood options alongside its excellent pastas and pizzas. Villa Toscana in St Regis Abu Dhabi is an excellent high end Italian business lunch and the food is hard to go past.

Best for seaviews

When dining at Mamsha al Saadiyat, Niri is a great option for a business lunch.  Enjoy two courses of exceptional Japanese food, some of the  best in Abu Dhabi, with views of Mamsha Beach to match. Our favourites? Order the spicy salmon maki and the beef katsu, both incredibly good dishes.  Side note: the miso soup is absolutely beautiful!

Valgerand serves good Estonian and Nordic food, with, naturally, some of the best salmon dishes in Abu Dhabi, great for pescatarians. Business lunch has seafood, meat and vegetarian options and sitting on the terrace is affords those unparalleled Mamsha Beach views.

Best for Japanese

99 Sushi Bar holds a Michelin star for good reason: the food and service are exceptional. Enjoy a 9 course business lunch where each dish seems better than the last. The hamachi maki is a strong point, as is the melt-in-the-mouth skirt steak - and finish strong with the mochi.

Best for buffet

The buffet lunch at Dine at Aloft is the perfect option if you’re staying in the hotel or attending one of the many conferences at ADNEC.  The buffet is perfect for anyone who enjoys international food and likes to fill up at lunchtime, at an insanely affordable price. This very casual restaurant is great for a friends catch-up or a business meeting.

Best in a bar

If you’d like to have a glass of beer with your lunch, there’s no better option than Craft by Side Hustle, the GCC’s first and only micro-brewery. This 2 course business lunch is one of the best value business lunches in Abu Dhabi, with a carefully crafted menu, with something to consider all tastes. If you’d like lighter, enjoy the fish, but the steak is also a must try. Enjoy reduced pricing on all wine, beer and prosecco - great for a liquid business lunch.
