NEW OPENINGS

Abu Dhabi has several new and forthcoming restaurant openings, all with a view:

Cho Gao (pictured) at Intercontinental Abu Dhabi’s Marina Walk opened in the summer, serving pan-Asian cuisine from Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand.

Toro Toro, chef Richard Sandoval’s Latin American concept (also present in Dubai) opened last month at Jumeirah at Etihad Towers.

This month sees two very different openings at Al Maryah Island – imported casual sushi concept 99 Sushi Bar and acclaimed FrenchMediterranean restaurant La Petite Maison.

The first ever Buddha Bar Beach will open before the end of the year at the St Regis Saadiyat Island, offering pan-Asian cuisine in a beach club setting.
