At Louvre Abu Dhabi and Yas Bay this August, dining becomes an immersive summer experience. Museum Café invites visitors to breeze through midday with creative frozen desserts and refreshing cold‑brew blends. As evening falls, Paradiso Abu Dhabi unfolds themed Italian evenings and seafood feasts that celebrate coastal cuisine in upbeat, social settings.
Warm afternoons redefined with Le Chill, a museum‑insider refreshment lineup bursting with playful desserts and chilled drinks. Offerings such as the Japanese‑style shaved ice cone, ice cream croissant, and vivid frozen pops feel photogenic and light. Signature drinks include watermelon lemonade, vanilla cold brew with plant‑milk, and a bright espresso tonic topped with orange twist. These seasonal specials align with growing trends in mocktail sophistication and plant‑forward café culture in Abu Dhabi this year.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, the seasonal à la carte menu brings globally inspired comfort food with bold flavours:
- Starters like Szechuan chilli calamari, loaded truffle fries, and BBQ brisket and sriracha The Masterpiece
- Hearty mains featuring gourmet burgers (The Brisket Monument, Truffle Treasure) and steak plates (Parisian Plate, Cowboy’s Canvas)
Unlimited beverage packages offer soft drinks at AED 99 or house beers and wines at AED 199. This food‑centric, indulgent weekend escape taps into rising demand for experiential dinner dining in cooling schedules across Abu Dhabi’s hospitality scene.
Once a week, Thursday evenings bring the spirit of Italy to Yas Bay. Italian Aperitivo pairs flavorful bite platters with unlimited spritzes and Negronis for AED 149 per person. On Mondays, dinner transitions into Seafood Night: generous sharing-style seafood platters, featuring prawns, crab, fish and squid, paired with two hours of premium Italian white wine. Priced at AED 99 for the food only or AED 199 including drinks, these themed events align with a broader trend of community-focused evening dining experiences in the UAE.
