If your idea of a perfect week involves great food, good vibes, and zero “where should we eat?” debates… Yas Island just made your life very easy.
Because this May, things are getting seriously delicious with the launch of the first-ever Restaurant Weeks across Yas Bay Waterfront and Yas Marina. And honestly? It’s giving main character energy… but make it foodie.
Two Weeks, Two Waterfronts… One Big Food Adventure
Here’s how it works (and why your calendar is about to fill up fast):
- Yas Bay Restaurant Week: May 4–10
- Yas Marina Restaurant Week: May 11–17
Translation? Two back-to-back weeks where you basically hop from one incredible restaurant to another, trying curated menus, signature dishes, and limited-time offers… without the usual guesswork.
It’s like a food festival—but cooler, more curated, and with way better views.
Yas Bay Restaurant Week (May 4–10): Where Flavours Meet the Vibe
Let’s start strong. Yas Bay Waterfront is already known for its buzzing energy, waterfront views, and “let’s stay out longer” kind of nights. Now imagine that… but with exclusive menus everywhere you turn.
We’re talking:
- Asia Asia Abu Dhabi – Pan-Asian flavours inspired by the Spice Route (yes, it’s as fancy as it sounds)
- Bushra by Buddha Bar – Lebanese cuisine, but make it glamorous
- Café del Mar Abu Dhabi – Mediterranean plates with coastal vibes
- Hunter & Barrel Yas Bay – Fire, grill, steak… need we say more?
- Paradiso Abu Dhabi – Italian dining with serious Michelin-level flair
- Zeera by Buddha Bar – Indian cuisine, reimagined in the boldest way
And that’s just the headline acts. You’ve also got gems like Artmarket, Barbossa, Bua Thai Café, and The Lighthouse joining the party.
Whether you’re planning a chill breakfast, a family outing, or a full “we deserve this” dinner moment—this week has you covered.
Yas Marina Restaurant Week (May 11–17): The Social Side of Dining
Just when you think it can’t get better… it moves to Yas Marina.
And if Yas Bay is all about the vibe, Yas Marina is where things get a little more social, a little more lively… and a lot more “let’s grab one more drink.”
Here’s what’s waiting for you:
- Diablito – Tapas, paella, and all the Spanish goodness
- Bar du Port – Chic Riviera-style dining (yes, it feels like a mini Europe trip)
- Ishtar – Middle Eastern flavours with a modern twist
- Stars ‘N’ Bars – Laid-back American classics
- Mika – Mediterranean lunches that hit just right
- Bla Bla Bar – Sushi, cocktails, and a full-on social scene
This is where your “quick dinner” casually turns into a full evening out… and nobody complains.
One Island. Two Experiences. Zero Regrets.
What makes this whole thing special isn’t just the food (although… wow). It’s the fact that you get two completely different dining moods in one place.
One week you’re soaking in the stylish energy of Yas Bay.
Next week, you’re living your best waterfront life at Yas Marina.
So whether it’s:
- A cute date night
- A long-overdue catch-up with friends
- A “we’re not cooking this week” family plan
This is your sign to go all in.
Because honestly? Opportunities like this don’t come around often… and missing out would just feel wrong.
So go ahead—plan it, book it, and taste your way through Yas Island.
