Why everyone's talking about InterContinental Abu Dhabi's coolest summer dining experience: Dock and Dine
Summer is almost here and when the temperatures are rising, is there any place better to be at than on a boat? We don't think so.
The sea breeze cooling you down, the turquoise-coloured water and views for days around the capital… Sign us up.
The only thing that could make this dreamy scenario even better? Having top-notch dining options when it's time to eat, of course.
Enter the InterContinental Abu Dhabi Marina's Dock and Dine, which might be one of the coolest ways to head out to lunch or dinner this season. Thanks to their fabulous marina, you can simply dock your boat hourly or daily and head into any of their dining venues.
With more than nine restaurants and bars available, there is plenty of choice for whatever mood you're in. Delicious seafood with a Thai twist? Hop off the boat and head to Fishmarket, where there is no menu (yes, really) – just select what you fancy from the market display and sit back while the pros prepare it for you just the way you like it.
Journey across the world through different flavours
Ready to take your taste buds on a global adventure without leaving the marina? Start with Porto Gina, where simple, authentic Italian flavours come in generous portions perfect for sharing.
If Lebanese cuisine is more your vibe, Byblos Sur Mer offers a stylish setting with all your favourite mezze and grilled dishes – plus unbeatable views and live music to set the mood.
But the international flavours don't stop there. Cho Gao will be calling your name with some pan-Asian cuisine, while Chamas Churrascaria will have you enjoying incredible meat cuts, churrasco style (that's Brazilian barbecue, FYI).
Seafood lovers will find their paradise at Fishmarket, where you pick your fresh catch and let the chefs create a masterpiece right by the Arabian Gulf.
If cosy European comfort food is what you're after, Belgian Café offers all the classics. Mussels, crispy frites, and slow-cooked stews, all paired with a great selection of Belgian hops.
Jones Social brings together bold global flavours and laid-back vibes, perfect for sharing plates, sipping creative mixed drinks and catching up in a stylish space.
And when it's time to unwind, Bayshore Beach Club invites you to relax by the sea with a private beach, poolside cabanas, light bites and refreshing drinks, offering the perfect end to your culinary journey.
Plan your visit
You'll have to reserve this one in advance and share your boat docking details in advance so you can have a smooth sailing.
So the next time you're overwhelmed by the sheer number of dining spots in the city, make a date at InterContinental Abu Dhabi Marina and take advantage of the Dock and Dine offer.
