Do fine dining at home with these Abu Dhabi take-away and delivery options

You can practise social distancing and still do date night right…

Just because we’re self-isolating doesn’t mean we should be living off instant ramen and jam sandwiches. Some of our favourite Abu Dhabi dining options are still available via the magical modern convenience of takeaway and delivery. Certain restaurants are even offering this service for the very first time.

Here are just a few of our favourite from-home fine-dining options.

99 Sushi

99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant on Al Maryah Island is offering special takeaway and delivery services. Simply ‘maki’ your order over the phone in advance and you’ll be able to collect your freshly prepped request from reception. This new service will allow customers the option for fine Japanese dining in the comfort and safety of their own living room, and that’s a luxury we can nori ignore.

Four Seasons Abu Dhabi, Al Maryah Island, Sat to Thu noon to midnight, Fri 1pm to midnight. Tel: (02) 6723333, menu

Some of the best Lebanese dishes were perfected in family kitchens — what better way to complete the culinary circle than by ordering a fine example of the art, to your own family home.
