Found this Filipino restaurant while looking for Gold Souq in Abu Dhabi. A lot of walking in the very hot weather gave me a strong urge for Halo Halo, an ice cream/ice dish containing macapuno (sweet coconut strips), nata de coco (cubed coconut gels), beans, ice cream and other treats in a sweet cream milk. Besides that, I was also missing my rice and Filipino food.
The restaurant was busy on a weekend night and the host was constantly taking orders on the phone. It took a while to get seated and much longer to get my order. I wasn't the only one and felt bad for the young Filipino family that couldn't wait any longer (an hour) to be served. It took an hour or more to get served but the adobo manok (chicken adobo) with rice was good and good proportion. The Halo Halo was the best I've ever had. I wanted to get another but thankfully had the discipline not to.
Favorite Dish: Halo Halo, served in a large chilled glass, lots of goodies topped off with a delicious scoop of ice cream!

I wanted to try to taste safe, local cuisine and happened upon Hatam Restaurant located on the third floor of Marina Mall, Abu Dhabi. A quick peak at the menu showed that this restaurant was reasonably priced.
I was pleased to see mostly locals in the restaurant but felt a little bare having gone in with khaki shorts and sandals. Nobody said anything and I don't think anyone had a problem with it but I regretted that I didn't have long pants on. However, I didn't let this ruin my meal which was memorable.
Favorite Dish: The fresh, hot pita with hummous was fantastic. I had a stew dish that contained lamb and it was fantastic. Proportions were good and the service was outstanding.

For a traditional English pub atmosphere and good food visit the Captain's Arms. There's fish and chips on the menu and a good pint can be had. Outdoor seating is also available.
Favorite Dish: Fish and chips/bangers and mash - reminds me of home!

Do not miss a visit to Finz Restaurant on your tour of Abu Dhabi. Located in an A-shaped hut over the azure waters of Arabian Gulf, Finz is undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Abu Dhabi.
The ambience here is informal and relaxed, making it an ideal food joint for family dinners and special celebrations.
Guests staying at Beach Rotana Hotel and Towers can enjoy complimentary privileges at Finz, Abu Dhabi. The average price range in this restaurant is a little expensive, and thus might not appeal to the section of budget travelers. Nonetheless, it is a must-visit for all seafood lovers in Abu Dhabi.
Favorite Dish: At Finz, Abu Dhabi guests can select from a wide range of dishes. The fish served is fresh and delicious - Baked Hamour being the most popular dish here. There are special non-seafood items for those who are not too keen on having seafood.

As the name implies, 49er's The Gold Rush, Abu Dhabi is themed around the Wild West and the evolution of Americas. Located on rooftop of Al Diar Dana hotel, this restaurant offers spectacular views of the bustling city and its skyscrapers.
Adorned with decked out wooden walls and floor, and covered with shabby fittings reminiscent of the Wild West era, it looks like the tree house of a Texan child.
Favorite Dish: 49er's The Gold Rush has a barbeque kitchen that serves the most exotic local food in Abu Dhabi. Steaks, grilled specialties, kebabs, seafood - everything available here. The buffet and a la carte menu is extensive, and reasonably priced comprising all sorts of international cuisines and regional fare.

Amalfi, the town, is situated where you’d imagine the laces to be on Italy’s riding boot-shaped coastline. It’s surrounded by vast cliffs, watercolour scenery, and is registered as a World Heritage Site. It’s puzzling then, that Amalfi, one of the ground-floor restaurants at Le Royal Meridien, has ignored everything its namesake stands for and instead overlooks a swimming pool and is made up of rather bland straight lines.
The light does it no favours at lunchtime, with the white walls reflecting onto cutlery and balding men, yet in the evening it threatens to be romantic and, if you keep your expectations on the liberal side, it isn’t a bad place to dine.
The food has a lot of making up to do for its location, and seeing the likes of prawn cocktail and Parma ham and melon on the menu – the most common dishes imaginable from a 1980s dinner party – it seemed Amalfi’s food wasn’t going to reflect its authentic namesake a few thousand miles away in Europe.
Favorite Dish: The high prices are far from justified, though. The food needs an edge to make Amalfi live up to its name.
