Some things just go together perfectly. Oysters and bubbly, Saturday and brunch, and, of course, grape and cheese.
And luckily for us, here in Abu Dhabi there are plenty of nights dedicated to our favourite pairing.
So, if you’re looking to spend an evening chomping away on endless crackers with all the cheeses you could dream of, washed back with glasses of grape, then these are the Abu Dhabi grape and cheese nights you don’t want to miss.

“C’est cheese” is back at the newly reopened Art Lounge at Louvre Abu Dhabi. Looking to enjoy your grape and cheese with a side of incredible art? This is the ideal spot for culture aficionados and cheese lovers alike. Once you’ve had your fill of the art in the museum, enjoy a selection of aged French cheese paired with grape under The Louvre Abu Dhabi’s stunning dome. Grape and cheese starts at Dhs150 per person. You can get this perfect pairing on Thursdays and Fridays from 6pm to 10pm. Are we on our way to the Louvre Abu Dhabi right now? Oui.

The grape and cheese night deal at Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel & Residences Emirates Pearl’s funky Lexx bar is well worth knowing about. Available between 7pm and 2am daily, prices for the classy evening start from Dhs125 with a cheese and charcuterie and three glasses of grape.

Sacci
If the typical grape and cheese night just doesn’t have enough cheese for you (we get you) then you’re going to want to get this deal on your radar. The “fun-due” menu at Saaci is an offer we just can’t refuse. Dhs159 per person gets you sharing starters with a cheese and salami platter, vegetarian arancini and cheese fondue. It doesn’t stop there. You also get your choice of pasta, your choice of pizza (yes please to more cheese), and an Italian dessert, plus, free-flowing red and white grape.
