Ocean Basket has officially opened its first restaurant in Abu Dhabi, introducing local seafood enthusiasts to a Mediterranean-inspired menu designed for sharing. Known for its focus on community and togetherness, this new location serves a variety of dishes including crispy calamari, juicy prawns, steamed mussels, and grilled fish, all accompanied by zesty sauces that encourage diners to savor their meals together.
This Abu Dhabi opening marks an exciting new chapter for Ocean Basket in the UAE, which has enjoyed over a decade of success in Dubai. The restaurant features a refreshed design, developed by Harrison design studio from the UK, which combines modern aesthetics with warm, inviting elements inspired by the coastal environment. An open kitchen offers a glimpse into the culinary preparations, enhancing the dining experience while aligning with the brand's commitment to fresh ingredients.
“We’re thrilled to open our first branch in Abu Dhabi, bringing the spirit of Mediterranean generosity that defines our brand to the capital,” said Grace Harding, CEO of Ocean Basket. “Ocean Basket has always been about honest seafood, bold flavour and a warm welcome, and we’re excited to share that experience with a whole new community at Reem Mall.”
As Ocean Basket expands its footprint in the UAE, it aims to maintain its dedication to quality seafood and a welcoming dining atmosphere. The Abu Dhabi restaurant is strategically located in Reem Mall, a setting that complements the brand’s sharing-style dining approach. “Abu Dhabi has long been part of our growth ambition, and opening our first restaurant here is a significant milestone,” added Yuriy Khussainov, Managing Director UAE & CIS. “We look forward to welcoming families, friends and seafood lovers from across the city.”
