Mediterranean bites, sunshine style
Hungry? Twiggy's beloved Mediterranean restaurant serves up a menu tailor made for long summer lunches and sunset suppers. Expect sun-kissed flavours with a light touch — think crisp salads, artful crudo, grilled seafood, and all the classics, made with premium seasonal ingredients and plated to impress.
Sip, snap, repeat
Cocktails? Of course. Twiggy's expert mixologists are shaking up signature creations and seasonal sips that are as refreshing as they are Instagram-worthy. Whether you're craving a twist on a spritz or something totally bespoke, there's a drink for every mood and moment.
Family-friendly too
Bringing the kids? Twiggy Family, located just across the way, offers a more casual, family-friendly setting with its own pool and relaxed vibe. So while the grown-ups kick back, the little ones can enjoy their own slice of summer fun.

Where to get the best mocktails in Abu Dhabi
For cocktail lovers, Abu Dhabi's bar scene has options for days, but what about those of us who want all the flavour, hold the alcohol? Whether you're driving, detoxing, or just not into the booze scene, there's no reason your drink should feel 'basic'. Thankfully, more and more spots across the capital are taking their mocktails seriously; crisp, creative, and just as good as the real thing (if not better). From garden-inspired mixes to spice-laced refreshers, here's where to get the best Mocktails in Abu Dhabi when you want a proper drink minus the alcohol. La Petite Maison (LPM) This elegant French-Mediterranean spot at The Galleria ticks all the right boxes: refined interiors and water views from a dreamy terrace. But beyond the classics, LPM has quietly built one of the city's most impressive mocktail menus. It's 16 drinks deep, featuring everything from black lemonade to zero-proof espresso martinis. The Limonade Noire is a standout; rosemary-infused honey, verjuice, activated charcoal, and soda water. It's unexpected in the best way. On the lighter side, Pomme-Basilic mixes green apple cordial, fresh basil, and sparkling water. Location: La Petite Maison, The Galleria, Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi Times: Daily, 12pm to 1am, 12.30pm on weekends Contact: (02) 692 9600, @lpmabudhabi Oii Set within the dry but lively Al Qana precinct, Oii is a Mediterranean-inspired spot that puts just as much effort into its mocktails as it does its food. With a tagline like 'serving joy,' it makes sense that the drinks list leads with flavour. The mocktail menu is stacked with twelve originals, all equally photogenic and refreshing. Bird's Kiss is a grapefruit, elderflower, and butterfly pea tea blend. Skopelos Vibes channels island energy with passionfruit, pineapple, and ginger ale, while Porto goes peach and strawberry for something smooth and low-key. Location: Oii, Al Qana, Al Maqta' St, Rabdan, Abu Dhabi Times: Daily, 8am to 12am Contact: (02) 628 2983, @oiiabudhabi Mika Tucked into the waterfront at Yas Marina, Mika is a refined Mediterranean restaurant that brings subtle Middle Eastern influence into its kitchen and its drinks menu. With interiors that lean modern but relaxed and a stunning view, It's the kind of place that works just as well for a long lunch as it does for a laid-back dinner. Mocktails here anything but basic. Mika's 'art in a glass' philosophy means each non-alcoholic drink is carefully crafted from layered ingredients. Expect seasonal options, delicate garnishes, and flavour profiles that match the mood of the food. Location: Mika, Building 2A, Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi Times: Daily, 12pm to 12am Contact: (05) 6 433 1422, @ Dragon's Tooth Hidden beneath Rosewood Abu Dhabi, Dragon's Tooth is the sultry little speakeasy tucked behind Dai Pai Dong. Inspired by 1920s Shanghai jazz lounges, it's got low lighting, deep booths, and an Asian bar menu to match the mood. When it comes to their signature mocktails; The Passion Boba is the standout: oolong tea, passionfruit, lime, and a handful of chewy boba pearls. It's sweet, layered, and playful. There are more signature refreshers on the menu too, perfect for those skipping the spirits but not the fun. Location: Dragon's Tooth, Rosewood Abu Dhabi, The Galleria Al Maryah Island Times: Daily, 6pm to 1am (until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays) Contact: (02) 813 5588, @rosewoodabudhabi Isla Beach Bar Image: Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi website Sitting right on the sand with views out over the marina, Isla is one of the capital's most stunning beachside spots. It's got that laid-back-luxe energy, think sun-washed seating, mellow beats, and a menu that leans into Cuban. Great for a post-swim refresh or winding down with something cold in hand. The mocktail list is refreshing, with tropical flavours, citrusy mixers, and the kind of ice-cold energy you want when it's 40°C and rising. Ask the team for their seasonal picks or go classic with a Havana-inspired no-alcohol twist. Location: Isla Beach Bar, Rixos, Marina Mall Ring Road, Al Kasir, Abu Dhabi Times: Daily, 9am to 11pm Contact: (02) 498 0000, @rixosmarinaabudhabi Taparelle Tucked inside Manarat Al Saadiyat, Taparelle has quickly earned regular status for anyone in the know. It's got the kind of atmosphere that works for everything, date night, family lunch, or group catch-up. The vibe? Warm, lively, and full of woodfired pizza scent drifting through the open-air terrace. The drinks menu is solid across the board, mocktails included. The standout is the Aubin, passionfruit, whipped top, a hit of lime, smooth, fresh, and just a little bit extra. There's a small but confident list worth sipping your way through. Location: Taparelle, Manarat Al Saadiyat, Al Saadiyat Island, Cultural District, Abu Dhabi Times: Open daily from 8am to 11pm (until midnight on weekends) Contact: (02) 657 5832, @taparellerestaurant

Abu Dhabi's DARB toll rules are about to change – here's what's new
Driving in Abu Dhabi is about to feel a little different. Starting Monday September 1, the emirate's DARB toll system is getting a shake-up and yes, it's worth knowing the rules before your next commute. The morning rush-hour toll window stays the same – 7am to 9am, Monday to Saturday – but the evening slot is shifting earlier, now running from 3pm to 7pm. Sundays and public holidays remain blissfully toll-free. .@ad_mobility, part of @AbuDhabiDMT, has issued amendments to the Road Toll Executive Regulations in Abu Dhabi to ease traffic flow on main roads during peak hours, supporting sustainability in the transport sector and enhancing quality of life in the emirate. — مكتب أبوظبي الإعلامي (@ADMediaOffice) August 14, 2025 You might also like: All the fines, rules and laws announced in Abu Dhabi this year Here's the big one: the daily and monthly caps are gone. That means no more Dhs16-a-day limit or monthly maximums of Dhs200, Dhs150, or Dhs100 per vehicle. From September, every pass through a toll gate will cost Dhs4 – no matter how many times you do it. Before you panic, the usual exemptions still apply for People of Determination, senior citizens, retirees and low-income families. And the system's getting a new operator too – Q Mobility, part of ADQ – which will be working with the authorities to roll out the changes smoothly. So, if you're a multiple-trips-a-day driver, you might want to rethink your routes… or invest in a good playlist for those scenic detours.
