Must try restaurants in Abu Dhabi this week
Whether you're in the mood for a romantic sunset spot, soulful Caribbean comfort food or sushi so fresh it practically swims to your plate, Abu Dhabi's dining scene is serving. Here are seven spots worth dressing up for this week. Filini Garden There's a reason Filini Garden is the best sunset spot in Abu Dhabi. Picture a Tuscan villa, only cooler and with better cocktails. Filini Garden is the kind of place that makes you feel like you're on holiday, even if you're five minutes from home. It's got whitewashed interiors, Aperol spritzes that hit just right and views that stretch from the Gulf to the golf course. Italian chef Marco Gattone brings proper flavour with dishes like the Linguine allo Scoglio e Bottarga. If you're looking for a weekend plan, their 'All' Italiana' Friday and Saturday dinner is where the good times begin.

The menu leans French and Italian, with tapas, antipasti and hors d'oeuvres that play nicely with local ingredients. It's the kind of place where you can go from gallery to glass of wine without missing a beat. Location: Manarat Al Saadiyat, Saadiyat Island Times: Noon to 11pm daily Contact: 02 657 5832 Mamafri Mamafri is casual but confident. Think Malaysian curry, wagyu sandos, mochi and ramen that could turn any bad day around. It pulls from Malaysian, Thai, Cantonese and Japanese flavours to create something that tastes like comfort.

It keeps things simple and lets the ingredients shine. The sushi is fresh, the sashimi is smooth and the vibe is effortlessly cool.
