Erth

 

 

Our anonymous inspectors experienced incredible Abu Dhabi, from its authentic traditions to its amazing innovations. We have no doubt about its exciting potential as a one-of-a-kind culinary destination. As we know, it is demanding to be selected into the MICHELIN Guide, but it is even harder to maintain the distinctions as our selections are annual. It implies that year by year, no matter the season, the period, the context, restaurants have to achieve the highest level of quality, with an unwavering commitment to excellence, said Gwendal Poullennec, International director of The MICHELIN Guides.

 

 

Talea by Antonio Guida

 

 

She concluded: This year, local professionals haven’t failed in this commitment, proposing the most tasty and unique gastronomic experiences to their guests on a daily basis, demonstrating passion and consistency. With the coming years, we expect chefs will continue to be attracted to Abu Dhabi and the standard of its cuisine to continue to rise.

 

 

99 Sushi Bar

 

 

Bord Eau by Nicolas Isnard, Em Sherif Sea Café & Broadway are the three new selected restaurants added to The Guide.

 

Broadway

 

 

Whether it's French classics at the outpost of the Côte-d'Or original, Bord Eau by Nicolas Isnard, or the steaks cooked to perfection and the glorious tart Tatin of the modern American brasserie Broadway...

 

 

Bord Eau by Nicolas Isnard 

 

 

...and the irresisitible taste of authentic Lebanese cooking at Em Sherif Sea Café, these new additions are what we call an added-value!

 

 

Em Sherif Sea Café

 

 

Mika and Ryba are both awarded with a Bib Gourmand.

 

Mika

 

 

Mika for the exceptionally good value of its fresh and flavorsome Mediterranean cuisine and Ryba for its affordable fish and seafood specialities!

 

These three new winners have joined the five restaurants who have retained their ‘Bibs’: t’azal, Al Mzrab, Beirut Sur Mer, Otoro, and Almayass.

 

 

Ryba

 

 

The Opening of the Year for 2025 goes to ryba, a gem run with genuine passion!

 

MICHELIN inspectors were very impressed by this bright local restaurant tucked away in a spot away from the city center at Al Mina souq, helmed by local Chef-Owner Faisal Mohamed Alharmoodi, its appealing menu makes great use of fish from the market just down the road at Zayed Port. 

 

 

 

 

This year’s Young Chef Award goes to Yasmina Hayek from Em Sherif Sea Café & the Service Award goes to the team at Mika. 

 

28-year-old Yasmina is continuing her family’s culinary legacy, which began with her mother Mireille Hayek in Beirut, what was most impressive was Yasmina’s authentic Lebanese dishes and her forward-thinking approach. As for Mika, what makes dining at this lively spot at Yas Marina such a joy is not just the food but also the warm, friendly and engaging service, headed up by Chef-Owner Mario Loi.
