I love this place! This is where I go when I need a little treat or tlc. They do simple at its best. Prawn cocktail, amazing steak and triple cooked chips, and any of their desserts are fab. Impeccable service and attention. Lovely staff.

My husband brought me to Marco Pierre for a Mother's Day dinner. Initially I decided it was too extravagant and expensive, but then decided to enjoy it as a special occasion. It IS extravagant and expensive, however, it was truly delicious. Every single bite - from the crabcake to the homemade breads and butter to the amazing wine to the... More

My husband and I have lived in Dubai for four and a half years and until last year had never visited Abu Dhabi. We decided to rectify that with a foodie long weekend. We booked four nights in a hotel and made bookings at (the now sadly defunct) Amador, Quest and Marco Pierre White's Steakhouse & Grill. Amador was amazing.... More

The food at the restaurant was quite expensive. I have eaten better steaks for far less money. The starter of Scallops and Lobster was heavily under seasoned and we asked for salt and pepper. The Service wasn't great. The waiter had a very elaborate decanter from which he insisted on pouring the wine, this was poured all over the table... More

I live in Abu Dhabi and this is one of our standbys to take guests. Let me say first: the service really is outstanding..they are very obliging and attentive without being smothering which is a delicate balancing act. The decor gives the sense of being very warm and modern and quite literally blends into the background so that your guests... More

What an experience! I love fine dining but prefer asian food as no matter how good this food was i had stomach ache for the next few days as i am sure meat was marinated in butter for many hours and other items were cooked with lots of cream. Anyway it's my own mistake to eat starter, main and desert... More

We had a business dinner here. The beetroot salad starter was disappointing and something that I could have done better at home myself. The steak was good, not surprisingly, but certainly no better than my local Argentinian restaurant in London (Buenos Airies cafe). The triple cooked chips were good, but contrary to their billing, weren't exceptional. What also marks this... More

The food was very good, the service was great and the decor was fine (think Gentleman's Club with high back leather arm chairs, but tucked away inside the building so no views, not my cup of tea personally). But it seriously hurt the wallet, so be warned!

Visited Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill several times over the last two years, and by far this is the best steakhouse you will find in Abu Dhabi.
