Yas Bay Waterfront in Abu Dhabi is set to invigorate its dining and entertainment offerings with six new concepts launching in the upcoming months. This vibrant lifestyle destination aims to redefine the local food scene with an exciting mix of establishments, including a microbrewery, gourmet burgers, an acclaimed pizzeria, fine dining, urban golf, and a family entertainment hub.
Among the notable openings is L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele, a celebrated Neapolitan pizzeria making its debut in Abu Dhabi. Known for its authentic wood-fired pizzas, L’Antica Pizzeria was established in 1870 and has garnered fame from being featured in Julia Roberts’ film 'Eat Pray Love'. Franchise Partner Stefano Iuliano expressed excitement about the opening, stating, “Bringing L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele to Yas Bay Waterfront is more than just opening a new location; it’s about sharing a true taste of Naples with the Abu Dhabi community. We’re excited to welcome guests to experience the same pizza that’s been crafted with love and legacy for over 150 years.”
Another remarkable addition is Craft by Side Hustle, the UAE's first microbrewery. Known for its small-batch craft beer and Southern-style smokehouse dishes, it promises an atmosphere perfect for socializing and enjoying quality food paired with expertly crafted cocktails.
Bayside Burger Co. brings laid-back surfing vibes to Yas Bay Waterfront with a menu featuring juicy burgers and loaded fries, all served in a relaxed coastal-themed setting. Visitors can anticipate a fun environment catering to both beachgoers and casual diners alike.
Marcella, led by acclaimed chef Mario Loi, will offer dishes inspired by Spanish and Portuguese culinary traditions, focusing on a dramatic wood-fired grill and a selection of fine wines. Chef Mario describes Marcella as “a love letter to the flavours of the Iberian Peninsula, drawing inspiration from the sun-drenched coasts of Spain and Portugal.”
For those looking for a unique blend of sports and dining, Five Iron Golf UAE introduces an urban golf simulator and premium sports bar experience, supporting both casual players and serious golfers with high-tech simulators and diverse leisure activities.
Set to launch in late 2025, Peaksy aims to provide a multi-generational culinary and adventure experience easy for families. This destination will feature a bistro, rooftop lounge, and adventure zones, catering to both relaxation and fun for kids and adults.
