The Foundry Restaurant

The Foundry Restaurant operates at the Southern Sun Abu Dhabi, a versatile hotel restaurant that rotates through themed dinner nights - Japanese, Thai, Italian, and seafood among them - keeping the offering fresh for both hotel guests and returning locals. Thursday Japanese night has built a particular following. Breakfast covers a broad international spread with genuine variety, including smoothies, fried noodles, and rice dishes alongside the expected continental options. Dinner themes are executed with care and supported by live entertainment that adds atmosphere. The seafood night offers strong value, and the pastry and dessert programme - including a well-made creme brulee - closes meals on a high note. The team is accommodating, friendly, and genuinely helpful, with staff who assist with travel planning and local recommendations alongside the dining service. The restaurant manager maintains a visible presence that keeps operations tight. Drinks service can slow during busy periods, but the overall pace of the meal is well-managed. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, with a casual energy that makes it approachable for families and groups.
