Description

The Terrace is the all-day restaurant at the St. Regis Abu Dhabi on the Corniche, a polished international buffet room that shifts register across the day - from a generous breakfast spread through to themed evening buffets and a well-regarded Saturday brunch. The breakfast programme is deep: fresh pastries, made-to-order eggs, smoked salmon, cold cuts, and a cheese selection that rarely disappoints. Evenings rotate between seafood nights and grill-focused menus, with the steak consistently singled out as a highlight. The Saturday brunch is the main draw and plays at a higher register than the weekday service. The setup spans multiple rooms and stations - a dedicated seafood and sushi counter, a carving station with whole rib-eye served tableside, an extensive cheese room, and a dessert hall with a live pavlova demonstration that draws a crowd. Drink packages are tiered, and the premium option includes a caviar trolley. Live music on the terrace sets the mood without overwhelming the room. Service is a genuine strength. The team is notably warm and attentive without hovering, and several long-serving staff have built followings among regulars. The setting - looking out over the Corniche waterfront - adds a quiet backdrop that suits both family meals and occasion dining. Complimentary valet parking is a practical touch.

Our visit to the hotel restaurant on Christmas Eve was all around perfect. Already upon entering we felt welcome, and the festive atmosphere made the evening special. The food was excellent – taste at the highest level, beautifully arranged and of the best quality. We would like to pay special praise to our waiter Gayan. He was extremely friendly, attentive and professional without being intrusive. His service was instrumental in making us feel comfortable throughout the evening. Overall everything was really great – service, cuisine, ambience and organisation. A successful Christmas Eve, which we like to remember and recommend at any time.

We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. What really made the evening special, however, was the outstanding service. Our waiter, Mr. Chathara Gayan, was extremely attentive, friendly, and professional. He made us feel very welcome and took great care of us throughout the entire evening. Thanks to his service and the great atmosphere, this was an experience we will definitely remember and highly recommend. We will gladly come back again.
