Armenian and Lebanese cuisines collide at this charming eatery in The Galleria Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island. The warm and welcoming restaurant offers an extensive menu, with dishes that are rich in flavour and generous in portion, such as their kibbeh karaz, manti (Armenian dumplings), muhammara and chicken shawarma – all of which are must-try.

Expect a nautical take on classic Lebanese favourites at this beachfront eatery. Take your pick from a vast selection mezze platters, grilled meats and fish – their freshly baked flatbreads come hot, straight from the oven located just a few metres away. We recommend trying their take on a classic hummus, known as Hummus ‘Beirut Sur Mer’. The ultrasmooth pureed chickpeas are perfectly topped with flaked white crab, ripe avocado and a rich apricot chutney.

In similar fashion to its eponymous city in Lebanon, this rustic, yet authentic restaurant is located right by the water, overlooking the InterContinental Abu Dhabi Marina and iconic Etihad Towers. Here, the options are aplenty and replete with classic, tasty dishes to choose from. We recommend taking a seat on the terrace at sunset for the ultimate dining experience.
