The Top 53 Restaurants Near The Abu Dhabi EDITION
-
Rank 1. 3Fils
Japanese Contemporary
Perched over Al Bateen marina at The Abu Dhabi Edition, this waterfront outpost of the beloved Dubai original brings bold, Japanese-leaning Asian food to the capital with serious cool credentials, a Bib Gourmand, and a spot on MENA's 50 Best list to back it up. Chefs in baseball caps, staff in trainers, and a crowd that looks like they work somewhere creative. The food punches way above the casual vibe.

This no-reservations pizza spot on the Abu Dhabi waterfront has earned a spot on MENA's 50 Best list, and people literally queue hours before the doors open to prove the point. The pies lean on UAE-grown produce, which sounds like a gimmick until you taste them. Come for focaccia, calzone, and off-menu specials that disappear fast. The crowd is a proud mix of locals, residents, and anyone who figured out the lineup situation in time.

Rank 15. Sand & Koal
Modern Cuisine
-
LPM is a French-Mediterranean restaurant that's been around long enough to earn serious credibility in Abu Dhabi's notoriously restless dining scene, and a spot on MENA's 50 Best list backs that up. The room pulls a well-dressed, convivial crowd who know the menu already and like it that way. Think shared plates built around genuinely good produce, fresh seafood, and the kind of cooking that feels relaxed but clearly isn't.

Rank 35. NIRI
Japanese Contemporary
Part yakitori grill, part sushi counter, part highball bar, Niri is the kind of place that doesn't really pick a lane and is better for it. It sits on the Mamsha Al Saadiyat waterfront and draws a well-dressed after-work crowd who come for the counter seats, the high-quality fish, and the yuzu-spiked cocktails that keep things going well past dinner. Casual enough that you won't feel underdressed, good enough that you'll wonder why you didn't come sooner.
