Best for wine & cheese with a view

What’s better than relaxing with a glass of wine in hand as you feast on not just cheese and charcuterie, but some of the best views in the city? It’s hard to go past Raclette’s waterfront views of Mamsha Beach on a Wednesday night - and it's one you'll find yourself returning to. Another waterfront option with a side of culture - perfect for visitors - grab a seat on the terrace at Cafe Nolta for views of the Grand Mosque, or Art Lounge at Louvre Abu Dhabi.

Wine and cheese nights aren’t just a mid-week treat - some of the best wine and cheese pairings are available all weekend long as well!
