It might be sweltering hot in Abu Dhabi right now, but you can still stay cool at Filini Garden.
The super popular bar on Yas Island has reopened its air-conditioned terrace, and it’s just as amazing as we remember it.
Encased by glass walls, the space offers the same incredible views over Yas Links as the outdoor area.
Plus, with trailing vines, charming wooden furniture and brass-framed light bulbs, you could be dining outside in a pretty garden.
The regular theme nights and parties are continuing throughout the summer, too.
They include the Monday Bellissima Ladies Night, where ladies can get unlimited sparkling and 50 percent off food for Dhs55. Every Wednesday you can get unlimited cheeseboards for Dhs50 and buy one, get one free offers on selected drinks.
Weekends are lively here as well, and the Thursday Filini Supper Club lets guests feast on unlimited signature bites and drinks for Dhs225, while the Friday Garden Brunch packages start from Dhs200 per person.
Live music is also provided throughout the week from DJ Cliff Townley and saxophonist Milan Ivkovic.
There’s also a new deal to try out at this Time Out award-winning venue. To coincide with the opening on the air-conditioned terrace, the popular hotspot has launched the Filini Sunsets deal.
Celebrating the Italian art of aperitivo, it lets you admire the amazing sunset whilst enjoying a range of reduced price drinks and cicchetti (Italian-style snacks).
Running from 5pm until 7pm every day, you can get drinks from the Aperitivo Collection for Dhs29 and cicchetti for Dhs12, or one drink and two cicchetti for Dhs45.
Finally, just in time for the summer season, the restaurant has welcomed a new chef. Marco Gattone comes from the Abruzzo region of Italy and he promises to bring some “old-world authenticity and modern flair” to Filini’s Italian cuisine.
This bar and restaurant is always super popular, so we recommend booking a table in advance.
You can contact the venue by ringing 02 656 2000 or emailing filini.abudhabi@radissonblu.com.
Open Sat-Wed 5pm-1am; Thu 5pm-3am; Fri noon-3am. Radisson Blu Hotel, Abu Dhabi Yas Island (02 656 2000).
