From Mayfair to the Middle East: Isabel is opening in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh

Isabel Mayfair promises a blend of Latin and Mediterranean flavours.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia are already home to a plethora of popular London restaurants. While the likes of Il Baretto and Signor Sassi have already proven popular in the Middle East, we’re now ready to welcome Isabel to Abu Dhabi and Riyadh.

Isabel Mayfair promises a blend of Latin and Mediterranean flavours with a menu that spans from lunch until the late hours of the night. The Riyadh outpost will mark Isabel’s first venture outside of London and is expected to open its doors in the summer. While the exact location is yet to be confirmed, Via Riyadh, known for its alignment with Saudi’s upscale tastes, might be the chosen spot. In Abu Dhabi, Isabel will find its home at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island, with an opening slated for late 2024.

Drawing inspiration from Isabel Mayfair, diners in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh can anticipate a Gatsby-style ambience. Glitzy gold ceilings, complemented by brass tones and plush dark interiors, will set the stage for a memorable meal.

As for the menu, expect delectable options such as Seabass Ceviche, Stracciatella, Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli, Slow-cooked Beef Short Ribs, and many more. Dessert lovers will be delighted by the signature Isabel crepes with chocolate and banana, Pistachio and peppercorn fondant with saffron ice cream and the Isabel’ Eton mess’.

The expansion of Isabel into the Middle East is spearheaded by Scottie Bhattarai of BNF Hospitality. This move is part of a broader strategy to bring the hospitality brand to the region, with future plans extending to Qatar as well.

As Isabel gears up to open doors in the Middle East, get ready to indulge in a dining experience that promises exquisite food and drinks and a glamorous environment.
