The UAE capital will start the new year with a touch of glamour with the arrival of Isabel Mayfair to Abu Dhabi. Opening in early 2026 at The Galleria, Al Maryah Island, this place will make you want to cancel your plans just to be there. Even if you haven’t been to the original venue in London, this is that rare kind of restaurants that needs no introduction.

Originally founded in London’s Mayfair, Isabel has long been known for its chic interiors, sophisticated atmosphere, and a menu that brings Mediterranean flavors to life. The Abu Dhabi location will offer the same refined energy, with a menu crafted to excite the senses and adapt regional flavors into classic European dishes.

The food is exactly the kind that makes you want to come back again and again. From Seabass Ceviche to Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli, every dish is crafted to wow. And for dessert, indulge in treats like Isabel’s signature crepes with chocolate and banana, or a Pistachio fondant paired with saffron ice cream.

If you’re a fan of top-tier dining, Isabel Mayfair Abu Dhabi is going to be your new go-to. Stay tuned for more updates. You surely wouldn’t want to miss the exact opening date and the start of reservations!

And while waiting for the glamour of London to arrive in the UAE, check out another gem recently opened in the city: Sophia at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island, offering Mediterranean-inspired dishes, exceptional seafood, and an elegant atmosphere in the capital.
