The hotel’s signature experiences continue with the B.I.G Saturday Brunch at Garage Restaurant, an all-out culinary adventure spanning five unique hubs, while Sipz and Glam 2.0 at W Lounge sets an electric tone for Friday nights with free-flow drinks and bites.

Pappas Taverna Reopening

Clear the calendar and come hungry, because Pappas Taverna is officially back. Bringing a fresh energy to Abu Dhabi’s dining scene, the lively destination welcomes guests to enjoy Mediterranean favorites crafted for big appetites and even bigger gatherings. Leading the kitchen is Chef Urat Gümüş, expertly putting a fresh, flavor-packed spin on beloved traditional dishes. Start with the Octopus, charred to perfection and served over silky fava with roasted red pepper and capers, or go all in on Saganaki Cheese, golden-fried Graviera drizzled with honey and sesame. For the main event, Moussaka is layered with tender eggplant, spiced minced beef and velvety béchamel, while seafood lovers can tuck into Lobster Pasta, tossed with fresh linguini, cherry tomatoes and Graviera. Then make the final course count with Baklava, layered with crisp phyllo and honey, or Galaktoboureko with delicate milk custard. A drinks menu that is just as tempting also awaits at the bar. Guests can try the Chios Margarita, a tequila and mastiha mix with notes of oregano, or opt for the Aegean Breeze, a refreshing blend of gin, basil, lime and green apple. Whether craving some comfort food or dreaming of sun-soaked Mediterranean shores, Pappas Taverna is the place to be this November.
