Abu Dhabi’s food scene has got a boost by Michelin star joints in the neighbourhoods – The National

More than 40 restaurants in Abu Dhabi were recognised by Michelin earlier this month when the organisation’s inaugural guide to the capital was unveiled. Three restaurants within that group received a prestigious star, while four more were ranked in the Bib Gourmand category.

Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guide, told The National at the guide’s launch event that “Abu Dhabi is a rapidly evolving landscape and this is just the kick-off party, a way to ignite the dynamic and raise the bar".

If you are a food lover the chances are you have already looked over the list, just as you may have done when the Dubai guide was published a few months earlier. These lists are always great talking points, driving conversations about who made the grade, who was overlooked and why.
