Fun and entertainment Île D'Abu Dhabi

It's an institution in Abu Dhabi. After 25 years in business, they've just given it a complete makeover. The decor is that of an Irish tavern with all the right equipment: TV screens to watch the matches, darts, loud noise in the background, customers leaving the office for a pre-party by the pool. On the menu, we find all the sliders of a self-respecting pub. It's always busy, the food is good, the atmosphere is relaxed, the welcome is warm: all the elements for a good evening in the centre of Abu Dhabi.

If you visit Abu Dhabi during Ramadan month, we recommend you stop in one of the chicha tents erected around the beaches.

Stratos, the capital's only revolving restaurant and lounge bar, is located on the 26th floor of the very chic Royal Meridien. Surrounded by glass windows, so that you don't miss a single crumb of the 360° view over the city, the place is a real eye-catcher. It is the perfect address to come and try a high tea in the afternoon or at sunset, or to have a drink at the end of the evening and watch Abu Dhabi sparkle

Atop the Crowne Plaza Hotel, an eagle's nest margarita den around the aerial pool. Away from the car rumors, these luminous towers set a "Lynchian" scene. We are at the controls of the jet. One goes there especially to sip a cocktail and to curl up in the arms of the sofas and armchairs that border the pool. As for the clientele, it is the Abudhabi youth who like to spend the evenings there while smoking a shisha. Small menu with some international influenced snacks. DJ at the helm almost every night.

A must-see address in the Emirati capital, Ray's Bar is located on the ^62nd floor of the Conrad at Etihad Towers, and boasts sumptuous views of the Abu Dhabi skyline and the Arabian Gulf. The elegant monochrome decor is discreet and leaves room for the view. A team of talented bartenders are on hand behind the bar; they're friendly and always open to discussion, and if you can't find what you're looking for in the long list of drinks (ten pages long, after all), they'll concoct a made-to-measure cocktail for you.

It is in the heart of this small shopping center, not far from the mangroves that this superb café is located. A trendy and very decorative universe, with the feeling of being in a Zen attitude case, so much so that you don't know where to sit. Perfect for taking a break, teleworking outside your hotel room. And then there are the wonderful coffees, selected, which turn each cup into a journey. The pastries are delicious as is the selection of salads and sandwiches. Several vegan options.

To access the Emirates, in a chic and hushed decor, going to the lobby café is an excellent way. If you go in the morning, you can choose between the camelccino, a cappuccino made with camel milk, and the very chic café au lait with 24-carat gold petals. Each coffee is served with succulent dates. In the afternoon you can go forafternoon tea with small sandwiches and traditional scones, all to the sound of the harp or the violin. A wonderful way to experience the palace life at least once. Reservations are recommended.
