La Petite Maison - Abu Dhabi

At the Galleria Al Maryah Island mall, looking out across the water as the sun sets behind the city skyline, LPM Restaurant in Abu Dhabi has one of the most privileged locations in the city. But this is about taking you somewhere else, far away in time and place. The bouganvilleas on the terrace, the olive trees. The bright art, the elegant shutters, that extravagant vase exploding with colour. And then the light, intense French Riviera-inspired food prepared à-la-minute from the finest ingredients, the poulet, the prawns in olive oil, mon dieu, the intriguing rosés, the cocktails and that buzz across the room. C’est la Belle Époque, no? C’est la Côte D’Azur?
