Hakkasan Abu Dhabi

Hakkasan sits inside the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental on W Corniche Road. This contemporary Chinese restaurant holds a Michelin star and is a fifteen-minute walk from the expansive sands of Corniche Beach.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real reason to choose Hakkasan over the crowded dining halls found in nearby malls is the scale of the experience. While other kitchens in the area rely on high-volume foot traffic, this space offers a necessary layer of separation from the Marina Mall bustle. It provides a level of focus that is often missing from contemporary dining in this part of Abu Dhabi, making it a better pick for those who value composure over the spectacle of the surrounding district.
