This Abu Dhabi spot just dropped the dreamiest menu and we want one of everything
Abu Dhabi's dining scene just got a whole lot tastier – and we're not talking just another avocado toast. This place is mixing slick vibes with a menu that reads like a foodie fever dream. Say hello to your new culinary crush: The Cave. It just launched its revamped summer menu on Thursday June 5 and yes, it's as delicious as it sounds. Whether you're swinging by for a laid-back breakfast, a lazy lunch or a no-holds-barred dessert mission, The Cave has dialled up the flavour game across the board. Start your day with a Turkish eggs moment or a proper shakshuka, or go all in with the croissant-stuffed omelette that's basically breakfast royalty. Lunchtime brings the hits: think crispy chicken sandwiches, steak ciabattas and truffle risottos so good they might just change your life. The seafood linguini? It's a whole mood, packed with prawns, mussels and more. Still hungry? Great – you'll want to leave space for the Waffle Club, where golden waffles stack high with turkey ham, eggs and melted cheese. And if you're not tucking into the burrata and truffle scrambled eggs, are you even brunching? On the sweeter side, you've got banana pudding, molten chocolate cake, espresso crème brûlée and something called Kunafa Pistachio Bliss (yes, it's as dreamy as it sounds). And let's not forget the cookie menu – pistachio-stuffed and Nutella-loaded goodness. If you're not in the mood for a full meal you can sip on signature coffees, cold brews, matcha lattes and fruity mocktails with names like 'Island Oasis' and 'Sunsets Spritz.' Fancy. Whether you're in for a midday meeting, family meal or dessert detour, The Cave has officially made its mark. Plus, you'll soon be able to enjoy all of the deliciousness at home as the restaurant is coming to delivery platforms soon. Planning a party? They take group bookings and are happy to host your smaller get-togethers too. Go hungry. Leave happy. From Dhs14. Open daily. The Cave, Rabdan, @caveabudhabi.
