As the voices echoed throughout the mosque, it was a truly serene moment. Kicking off our dining experiences in Abu Dhabi, we instantly felt that our time at Koi Restaurant would be hard to beat. With staff that pride themselves on their attentiveness to diners, we were spoiled for choice with the menu.
Opting to completely indulge, we tried everything from the calamari salad this was by far my favourite starter to the tuna tartare and salmon carpaccio. Mains consisted of juicy succulent steak, sea bass and hake, with delicious sides of sweet potatoes, asparagus and mushroom and steamed asian greens. Dessert was a real treat with a selection of sweet mochi ice cream. After almost filling up on freshly baked sourdough and copious amounts of olive oil, we settled on a beautiful Dill Marinated Salmon Carpaccio and indulgent Mozzarella Cheese with Heirloom Tomatoes for our starters.
Upping our pasta game for our main courses, I chose the Calamarata Pasta with Lobster in a spicy tomato sauce. Served table side in a wheel of cheese, it took everything I had not to jump right into the cheesy heaven. The charming staff all wished me a happy birthday and later presented me with a sinful chocolate cake.
The Magic of Food
After our delightful meal, we waddled out of the restaurant and indulged in a cocktail on the rooftop bar, barely resisting the temptation to jump into the pool. A truly special French dining experience awaits visitors to the multi-award-winning Bord Eau restaurant in the Shangri-La Hotel. With Chef Jimmy de Almedia at the helm in the kitchen, expect to dine on beautifully prepared and presented scallops with gnocchi, succulent lamb, foie gras, Tuna Tartare, Valrhona chocolate spheres and more. Finding it impossible to narrow down our choices, we let the chefs do the choosing, opting for the tasting menu and sampling magnificent wine pairings expertly chosen by our sommelier.
Despite being warned that it was a chilly evening by Abu Dhabi standards rather than Irish, so we were fine , the view from the balcony dining area was spectacular as we gazed across the river at the mosque, glittering in the night sky. The perfect spot for a pre dinner cocktail or two, we tried the Il Frutto Proibto Raspberry Infused Vodka, Chambord, Raspberry, Mango and the Cucumber Gin Sour Gin, Cucumber, Rosewater, Lime , which came with accompanying popcorn and nuts we may have eaten two portions of these while sipping our cocktails.
The views are spectacular, but oddly, the best view is found in the bathroom, with glass walls looking out at the towers and the Presidential Palace in the distance. During my time in Abu Dhabi, I was staying with a friend who lives in the city. However, each of the hotels and resorts where I dined were breathtakingly beautiful and offer exceptional accommodation. Abu Dhabi has an endless selection of hotels for all budgets, from the opulent Emirates Palace to the Sheraton and Hilton hotels.
A quick google search will flood you with options for your perfect hotel or apartment stay. You can fly direct from Dublin to Abu Dhabi with Etihad. While in Abu Dhabi, the most convenient way to get around is by taxi. Sponsored Products are advertisements for products sold by merchants on Amazon.

Even after a lifetime of studying food and nutrition, I am still awed by the inherent magic of nature and the food that she gives us. Now a new era of food awareness is emerging; people are concerned as much about healthfulness and diversity of foods as they are about flavor.
Healthier foods are now being served everywhere from high-end white-tablecloth restaurants to fast-food chains, from airport concessions to mall food courts. Convenience stores and mainstream grocery stores are also improving the quality of food they stock. With the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, cancer, and other diet-related diseases exploding, not just in the United States but also worldwide, improvements in the quality of food we eat cannot happen soon enough. We will be able to tailor what we eat to our unique dietary requirements and health goals and still please our palates.
Through The Magic of Food, my goal is to stir your passion for healthful eating and inspire you to make the right choices for your well-being. I have packed The Magic of Food with sound, medically based information to lead you on a journey on which you will discover the remarkable ways in which food can have a magical, yet real, impact on your body, mind, and health. In good health, Michael T.
