THE BEST DINING DEALS IN ABU DHABI THIS APRIL

Ramadan, Eid, half-term, the winter weather slowly leaving us - April is set to be a big month, and you’ll be the envy of your friends with this round-up of some of the best deals in the city up your sleeve.

Whether you’re after some tasty delivery options, fun places to take your guests or somewhere new to suggest for that overdue catch up with your bestie, we’ve got you covered!

SATURDAY BRUNCH

LOCA RESTAURANT & BAR | THE GALLERIA

Is this 5 HOUR brunch package the longest in the city? We think so - and we’re not sure we’d last any longer if it isn’t! Prepare for bottomless margaritas and a Mexican feast - from freshly prepared tableside guacamole through to the last bite of dessert, you’ll be well looked after.

If that isn’t enough to entice you, it’s only AED245 - yes, for 5 whole hours and 5 courses, including multiple appetisers and your choice of main. Along with margs, quench your thirst with bottled beer, house wine and regular spirits. Not drinking? AED155 with soft drinks is a steal. For those with proper stamina, the AED95 beverage extension package kicks on from 5-7PM.

Timing: Saturdays | 12-5PM

Pricing: AED245 house package | AED155 soft package

Bookings: +97125823639

THURSDAY NIGHT BRUNCH

FLOOKA | EASTERN MANGROVES

Who said all the brunch fun had to wait until the weekend? Not the team at Flooka! Join in the fun every Thursday night, with delicious seafood and all the Flooka classics you love dished up and ready to devour. The house package is tempting enough to forget it’s a school night - we won’t judge.

Kicking off from 6PM, you’ll enjoy 4 hours of the good stuff with a view over the Eastern Mangroves as day turns to night. Perfect for a catch up with your squad or date night, we also rate this one for your out-of-town guests - the perfect blend of a great view, top notch seafood and Lebanese flavours that are an Abu Dhabi trifecta!

We rate burrata classica topped with rocket, Nutella pinsa for dessert and for the cheese lovers - 5 formaggi with truffled cream, Italian mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola and ricotta with a hint of honey - droolworthy!
