The UAE’s dining scene is constantly evolving. From steakhouses to relaxed beach clubs, there are always new culinary options to explore. And now, the capital is all set to welcome another star to its restaurant repertoire with the opening of Marcella in Abu Dhabi.
Located in Yas Bay, Marcella promises laid-back vibes with waterfront views. Expect to soak in the irresistible aroma of open-fire cooking while enjoying the lively yet upscale setting of the venue.
Marcella in Abu Dhabi is backed by Mario Loi, the culinary mastermind behind the FACT award-winning Mika at Yas Marina. With Marcella, Chef Mario Loi is turning his attention to the bold, soulful flavours of the Iberian Peninsula with a modern twist. Here, his goal is to make every meal feel like a celebration. “Marcella is a love letter to the flavours of the Iberian Peninsula,” said Chef Mario. “We serve exceptional produce with sincere service in an atmosphere of warmth, generosity and attention to detail.”
At Marcella, you’ll be able to indulge in the flavours from Spain and Portugal. However, the wood-fired Parrilla Grill remains the highlight, serving the finest cuts. Expect the likes of aged ribeye, tapas and an Iberian-inspired list of beverages that’s been carefully curated to match every bite. Details of what items will be included in the menu are still under wraps, but with Chef Mario Loi’s backing, you’re in for a delightful and delicious surprise.
While the exact opening date is still under wraps, Marcella in Abu Dhabi is guaranteed to become a favourite in the capital. With open-fire cooking at its finest, a taste of the Iberian coast and Chef Mario Loi, this new spot is shaping up to be one to try.
