London’s celebrated dining destination, Isabel Mayfair, has officially made its international debut with the opening of its first overseas restaurant in Abu Dhabi, bringing its signature blend of Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, striking interiors and refined hospitality to the UAE capital.
The new opening marks a significant milestone for the Mayfair institution, which has built a loyal following since launching on London’s Albemarle Street in 2017. Known for its ingredient-led menus, elegant design and vibrant atmosphere, the restaurant has become one of the British capital’s most recognisable dining destinations.
To celebrate its arrival in the UAE, Isabel Mayfair Abu Dhabi has introduced The Welcome Lunch, a three-course set menu priced at AED 100. Created as an accessible introduction to the restaurant for the local community, the menu showcases the culinary philosophy of Chef Vincent Visinet through a selection of signature dishes inspired by Mediterranean flavours and seasonal ingredients.
Guests can choose from starters including Tuna Tartare with finger lime and bonito, Vitello Tonnato with orange gremolata, or Tomato Salad with verbena-infused consommé. Main courses range from Stracciatella Radiatori and Angus Flat Iron with Timut pepper to a Vegetarian Aioli featuring seasonal vegetables, while dessert options include a modern interpretation of the Tropézienne and a Floating Island served with English custard and almonds.
The restaurant’s interiors reflect the aesthetic that has made the London venue so distinctive, combining polished brass, marble and rich textures to create a space designed to transition seamlessly from leisurely lunches to lively evening dining.
The Abu Dhabi opening also represents the international expansion of the Isabel Mayfair brand under Fuse Holding, the hospitality and lifestyle group founded by Yoann Grillet, which develops concepts across hospitality, entertainment, wellness and lifestyle throughout the Middle East.
With its first permanent international home now open in the UAE, Isabel Mayfair brings one of London’s most recognisable restaurant brands to Abu Dhabi, adding another notable name to the capital’s growing luxury dining scene.
