As if we didn’t have enough dining options in Abu Dhabi, another pop up restaurant is on its way here very soon.
But not that we’re complaining, in fact we really feel like celebrating this one.
French chef Nicolas Isnard is visiting Bord Eau at the Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri and putting on a pop-up event for three nights only.
Taking place from Wednesday October 30 to Friday November 1, you can go along and try a six-course menu from the expert chef.
Having worked at many Michelin-starred restaurants in France, Isnard is treating us to a selection of exceptional dishes.
Starring quality ingredients, traditional French recipes and exciting flavour combinations, the night will set you back Dhs348 (or Dhs498 with paired grape), and begins with scallop tartare with apple, caviar and cauliflower followed by foie gras pho soup and tagine-style lobster and saffron.
Meat lovers will also be in their element with the wagyu beef with corn, black garlic and Burgundy truffle, while the traditional French onion soup sneaks in as a fourth course before the pre-dessert cheese course helps wind things down (we know, why can’t every dinner have a dessert warm up?).
Finally, the night ends with a sweet moka dessert, and for an extra Dhs150 you can get it with paired grape, too.
Chef Isnard will also be running cooking classes throughout the event from 1pm to 4pm every afternoon.
Bon appétit.
Dhs348 (soft drinks), Dhs498 (grape pairing). Wed Oct 30-Fri Nov 1, from 7pm. The Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi (02 509 8555).
