Outdoor dining is back at Hakkasan with a refreshed food & cocktail menu

The capital’s chicest hotspot is back for the outdoor season from the 14th of October onwards with curated food and drink menus.

As the cooler months approach, Hakkasan Abu Dhabi, the award-winning Cantonese restaurant invites guests back to enjoy spectacular outdoor views, signature beverages, and refreshing season menu from 14th October onwards.

Overlooking the grounds of the magnificent Emirates Palace, the 108-seat terrace boasts a stylish bar area complete with bespoke cocktail menu and laid-back cabanas overlooking the city skyline. Guests will be treated to elegant bottle service along with innovative beverage options highlighted by a dedicated small eats menu.

In celebration of fresh and seasonal ingredients, Hakkasan’s menu continues to offer trademark delicacies as well as a selection of new dishes featuring sustainably sourced produce. This includes the Grilled Local Snapper, Pan-fried Rib Eye in Mongolian sauce, and a locally handpicked Organic Quinoa Farmed Green Salad – capturing the very best of the UAE’s organic and local ingredients. Additional new signature dishes include the brand-new Premium Dim Sum Platter, the Mala Wagyu Short Rib with pumpkin crisp and the Lychee Lobster with yuzu pearl, and back by popular demand, the Supreme Stock Braised Lobster.

Hakkasan Abu Dhabi has also carefully crafted the Love Stories selection, a new cocktail collection inspired by the cult Wong Kar-Wai film, ‘In the Mood for Love’. The iconic film, set against the seductively glamorous backdrop of 1960s Hong Kong, is a story of love, intimacy, escapism, passion and longing. The new Love Stories collection at Hakkasan tells a similar story of love and desire through cocktails which capture and invigorate the senses, taking guests on a sensorial journey through taste, smell, touch and sight.

Love Stories is divided into four chapters: Passion, Captivation, Romance and Trust. Guests can savour the perfect storm that is the ‘Pearl Sky’ with hints of wolfberry, lemon, yuzu, blackberry and Hendrick’s Gin, or sample the passionate ‘Hong Fuen’ featuring lemongrass, Diplomatice mantuano rum, and ginger purée engulfed in a dreamy smoke bubble.

Guests can opt for high and low seating at the bar, or reserve one of the classy cabanas for an evening of style and amazing music, as they are surrounded in lush exotic greenery and glistening water features for a flawless drinking and dining experience. The Hakkasan terrace will also be available for exclusive hire and it is perfect for corporate functions, parties and exclusive events.

Hakkasan Abu Dhabi is open every day from 6 pm until 1 am, and every Friday for Dim Sum Lunch from 12 pm.
