Best restaurants in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi's restaurant scene covers a wide range of cooking, and the eight places below show how varied it is. They span Arab grills and seafood, Italian and pizza, Korean, Iraqi and American-style burgers, with streets ranging from the central Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum Street to Muroor Road.

Many of these places keep long hours. Several are open from late morning until after midnight, so they suit lunch, dinner or a late meal. Others, such as the Korean restaurant HanKang and the pizza spot BiancoRosso, open only in the evening or afternoon.
