A good business lunch does three jobs: it impresses the client, it gets you out in time for the 3pm call and it does not need a finance sign-off. Abu Dhabi’s restaurants have worked this out, and set menus are now one of the best-value ways to eat at some of the city’s top tables. These are the business lunch Abu Dhabi deals worth booking this season, grouped by where you will be working.
What is the best business lunch in Abu Dhabi?
For value, Hunter and Barrel at Yas Bay serves two courses and a soft drink for AED 85, and 3Fils at Al Bateen Marina starts from AED 90. To impress a client, Zuma (AED 149) and COYA (AED 140) at The Galleria Al Maryah Island are the classic power lunches. Most menus run Monday to Friday, from around 12pm to 3pm or 4pm.

Al Maryah Island and ADGM
If your office is in ADGM, The Galleria is your canteen, and a very well-dressed one. More on the island in our Al Maryah Island guide.
Zuma
The Ebisu business lunch is AED 149 per person for a run of Zuma’s signature dishes, Monday to Friday from 12pm to 3.30pm, with a lighter Ebisu Express option if the meeting is short. It is the safe choice when you need to impress and cannot afford a miss.
Vibe check: Regulars swear the lunch is the best-value way into Zuma, just book ahead because the room fills with suits faster than a lift at 8.59am.
Zuma – Japanese, The Galleria Al Maryah Island. Reservations: 02 401 5900.
COYA
Three courses for AED 140, with two appetisers and a main, plus vegetarian and vegan choices. A wagyu sirloin upgrade is AED 50 extra for the client you really want to keep. Monday to Friday, 12pm to 4pm.
Vibe check: The room and the service win people over every time, just remember portions are designed for sharing, so this is not the lunch for your hungriest colleague.
COYA – Peruvian, Four Seasons Hotel, The Galleria Al Maryah Island. Reservations: 02 306 7000.
Dai Pai Dong
Rosewood’s Cantonese restaurant does three courses for AED 138 or five for AED 168: dim sum, barbecued meats, wok dishes and noodles, finished with an egg tart or mango dessert. Monday to Friday, 12pm to 3pm.
Vibe check: The roast duck has a fan club and the staff remember faces, so do not be surprised if your second visit gets a “welcome back”.
Dai Pai Dong – Cantonese, Rosewood Abu Dhabi, Level B3, Galleria, ADGM Square, Al Maryah Island. Reservations: 02 813 5588.
Flamingo Room by tashas
AED 135 per person for a starter, main and side, with dessert optional, Monday to Friday from 12pm to 3pm. Think burrata, calamari, sea bass and chicken schnitzel in one of the prettiest dining rooms in the city.
Vibe check: Diners rave about the interiors and the little personal touches, so it is the one to pick when the lunch is a thank-you, just do not skip dessert or you will hear about it.
Flamingo Room by tashas – all-day modern dining, Global Market Street, The Galleria Al Maryah Island. Reservations: 02 675 9301.
Almayass
From AED 90 you get hummus, moutabbal and bread, then a starter and main of your choice. The premium version adds hot starters like kebbeh kras and cheese burek. Monday to Friday, 12pm to 4pm. For more Levantine picks, see our best Lebanese restaurants in Abu Dhabi.
Vibe check: Generous portions and genuinely warm service make this the one where nobody leaves hungry, just do not plan anything energetic for the afternoon.
Almayass – Lebanese-Armenian, The Galleria Al Maryah Island, Section D, Level 1. Reservations: 02 644 0440.
💡 WOW Abu Dhabi Expert Tip: The Galleria’s covered car park links straight into the mall, so a client lunch on Al Maryah Island in a suit is far more comfortable than a waterfront walk on Yas. Book for 12.30pm and you will beat the 1pm ADGM rush.
Yas Bay and Yas Island
The Pier at Yas Bay has become a lunch strip of its own, with sea views and plenty of parking. Our Yas Bay and Yas Marina dining guide has more.
Hunter and Barrel
The best-value lunch on this list: two courses and a soft drink for AED 85, with steak, burgers or lighter chicken and prawn dishes. Add a starter for AED 25. Monday to Friday, 12.30pm to 4pm.
Vibe check: The burger has loyal followers and the service gets name-checked in nearly every review, just know the steak smell will follow you back into your 3pm meeting.
Hunter and Barrel – steakhouse, Shop PR 110, The Pier, Yas Bay Waterfront. Reservations: 02 886 8299.
Zeera by Buddha-Bar
Two courses of Indian sharing plates for AED 99 with a house drink, coffee or tea, Monday to Friday from 1pm to 4pm. A smart pick when your team will not agree on anything except butter chicken.
Vibe check: The flavours and the hospitality are the talk of the reviews, so go hungry, just know the 1pm start makes this a long-lunch kind of place.
Zeera by Buddha-Bar – Indian, The Pier, Yas Bay Waterfront. Reservations: 050 601 1193.
Marcella
Wood-fired Spanish cooking from chef-patron Mario Loi, with two courses for AED 95 or three for AED 125, Monday to Friday from 12pm to 3pm. Tapas-style starters make it easy to share across a table.
Vibe check: Lunch regulars rate the terrace view and the value, just grab an outside table early before the Yas Bay sun gets the last word.
Marcella – Spanish, Unit B111, The Pier, Yas Bay Waterfront. Reservations: 056 545 7290.
Graphos Social Kitchen
A two-course set menu for AED 89, Monday to Friday from 12.30pm to 3.30pm, or the lunch buffet with live cooking stations if the team wants options. Handy for anyone working around Etihad Arena or the Yas Bay offices.
Vibe check: The chefs here are famous for sorting out special requests and allergies without blinking, which makes it a safe bet for the colleague with a long list of dietary rules.
Graphos Social Kitchen – international, Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island, Yas Bay. Reservations: 02 208 6900.
Al Bateen
3Fils
The Michelin-recognised Dubai favourite has just launched its first business lunch in Abu Dhabi, with four set menus from AED 90 to AED 120. It runs Monday to Friday from 12pm to 6pm, which makes it the most flexible lunch on this list. The marina view is a bonus.
Vibe check: The salmon dishes and hand rolls get the loudest applause, just book a terrace table because the marina sunset makes it very hard to go back to work.
3Fils – Japanese-inspired Asian, Al Bateen Marina, Al Bateen. Reservations: 056 591 1772.
💡 WOW Abu Dhabi Expert Tip: Business lunch menus are almost always weekday-only and some exclude public holidays. If you are planning around Eid Al Etihad on 2 and 3 December, ring ahead before you send the invite.
