Hakkasan Abu Dhabi

Hakkasan Abu Dhabi is a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant occupying a spectacular 16,000 sq ft space within the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, having operated continuously since its opening in 2010 as one of the emirate’s most consistently celebrated culinary destinations. The restaurant holds a Michelin star that it has retained since the inaugural Abu Dhabi Michelin Guide, a recognition that reflects the consistent excellence of its modern Cantonese cuisine and the extraordinary standards of service and hospitality that define the brand globally. The interior is a masterpiece of design by the acclaimed Gilles & Boissier studio, interpreting Hakkasan’s signature modern ethnicity aesthetic for an Emirati context through intricate carved wooden screens, backlit blue glass, embroidered furniture, and marbled Chinese forms — creating an atmosphere of theatrical luxury that is entirely its own. The menu is anchored by Hakkasan’s globally celebrated signature dishes — Peking Duck with Caviar, Crispy Duck Salad, Grilled Chilean Seabass with local honey — alongside creations developed specifically for the Abu Dhabi kitchen by Cantonese-trained Chef Lee Kok Hua. Dim sum is available on weekends, drawing a devoted following for its quality and craftsmanship. The terrace is a vibrant and highly sought-after alfresco destination with views of the Emirates Palace grounds. An extensive cocktail program and carefully curated wine list complete an experience of comprehensive luxury. The restaurant also features four private dining rooms suitable for exclusive entertaining.
