Novikov is opening in Abu Dhabi and it's absolutely gorgeous
Abu Dhabi's dining scene just got a serious glow-up. Novikov, the internationally acclaimed restaurant known for its high-profile London flagship and globally inspired menus, is officially opening its doors at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island – and it's nothing short of spectacular. Making its debut with a new Mediterranean concept, Novikov Abu Dhabi blends the sun-drenched flavours of coastal Italy, Southern France, Greece, Spain and Portugal into one stylish, ingredient-forward menu. You may also like: 20+ new restaurants in Abu Dhabi It's a bold move that perfectly matches the capital's rising reputation as a culinary and cultural hub. Inside, the space is pure escapism. Real olive trees line the floors, hand-painted artworks adorn the walls and sculptural lighting gives the interiors a warm, golden glow. The restaurant flows between a statement open kitchen, a chic bar, a lively main dining room and a private dining space. A waterfront terrace overlooking Al Maryah Island's glittering promenade will open later in the season, promising perfect views for golden-hour dining and late-night lounging. At the centre of it all is executive chef Marco Lubian, who along with head chef Alberto Dorigo, brings a soulful, technique-driven approach to Mediterranean cuisine. Starters include fresh buffalo burrata with sweet cherry tomatoes, delicate tuna carpaccio with foie gras and truffle and a refined beef carpaccio topped with rocket, parmesan flakes and more truffle. For mains, highlights include charcoal-grilled octopus served with roasted potatoes and padrón peppers, lobster linguini in a rich tomato sauce and a deeply satisfying mushroom and truffle risotto. Desserts are just as thoughtful, with a standout meringue cake, a tart-sweet lemon Amalfi made with lemon jam and yuzu ganache and a scoop of velvety gelato topped with Amarena cherries – Chef Marco's personal favourite. In a nod to its London roots, a few of Novikov's Asian favourites have made the trip to Abu Dhabi, including the wildly popular Wagyu tacos and the dramatic wasabi king crab leg, served tableside. The Novikov experience doesn't stop at the table. As night falls, the venue transforms into a sleek, after-dark destination with live piano performances and curated DJ sets from Tuesday to Saturday. The bar buzzes with conversation and Mediterranean-style mixed drinks, and there's also an extensive grape list to choose from. Reservations are open now and yes, it's already the place to be seen. Opens Fri Jun 13. Sun-Thurs (12pm-1am), Fri-Sat (12pm-2am). Al Maryah Island, (02 563 2937).

Labubu human-sized figure sells for over $150,000 at Beijing auction
A Beijing auction house sold a human-sized Labubu figure for 1.08 million yuan ($150,275, around AED 551,901) on Tuesday, setting a new record for the "blind box" toy as it moves from craze to collectible. The event held by Yongle International Auction, which traditionally specialises in modern art as well as jewellery, marked the first-ever auction dedicated to Labubu, toothy monster figurines that are mainly sold by China's toy company Pop Mart and have been at the centre of a global frenzy for the past year. The auction offered 48 lots for sale and was attended in person by roughly 200 people, while over a thousand bidders put down offers via Yongle's mobile app, the auction house said. The starting price for all the items started at zero and it eventually raised a total of 3.73 million yuan (AED 1.90 million). The highest grossing item, a mint green, 131cm tall Labubu figure, received several bids to sell for 1.08 million yuan. The auctioneer said it was the only one available in the world. A set of three Labubu sculptures, about 40 cm tall and made of PVC material, sold for 510,000 yuan. The set, from a series called "Three Wise Labubu", was limited to a run of 120 sets in 2017 and another one sold for HKD 203,200 ($25,889.64) at Sotheby's most recent auction in Hong Kong. Labubu was created a decade ago by Hong Kong artist and illustrator Kasing Lung. In 2019, Lung agreed to let them be sold by Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company that markets collectable figurines often sold in "blind boxes". A buyer of a blind box toy does not know exactly what design they will receive until they open the packaging. The starting price for Labubu blind box toys sold in Pop Mart's stores is around 50 yuan (AED 25). The character's popularity skyrocketed after Lisa of the Korean pop music group Blackpink was spotted with a Labubu and praised the doll in interviews and online posts. Many celebrities followed. In May, British football star David Beckham shared a photo on Instagram of his Labubu attached to a bag. One Yongle auction bidder, a restaurant owner who only gave her surname as Du, said she had planned to spend a maximum of 20,000 yuan but walked away empty handed as the final prices were too high. "My child likes it so every time when Labubu released new products we will buy one or two items. It is hard to explain its popularity but it must have moved this generation," she said.
