Flavours of the Month with Viya | The Best Abu Dhabi Dining Experiences In September
Some months arrive with a sense of occasion. September with Viya is one of them - a calendar of distinct dining experiences across three venues, each with its own character and its own reasons to book a table.
Here's what's on in Abu Dhabi this September.
Roots Bar & Kitchen - Yas Acres Golf & Country Club
Roots Bar & Kitchen sits at the heart of Yas Acres Golf & Country Club - an all-day restaurant with course views, a menu that moves comfortably from morning through to evening and the kind of easy, welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit feel like a natural choice.
Pancake Saturdyas
Every Saturdays | 8am - 11am
The best excuse to start your weekend slow. Fluffy pancakes, a spread of toppings and a relaxed morning at Roots Bar & Kitchen, with the course just waking up outside the window. Come hungry, stay a while.
Sunday Roast
Every Saturday | 12pm - 5pm
A proper Sunday at Yas Acres looks like this - a generous roast served at Roots Bar & Kitchen with the golf course stretching out beyond and absolutely nowhere to be until the afternoon is done.
Happy Hour
Monday to Thursday | 4pm - 7pm
The easiest decision of any day at Yas Acres. Great-value drinks, course views and the relaxed energy that Roots does so well. Whether you're post-round or simply passing through, Happy Hour is always a good call.
Acres Grill House - Yas Acres Golf & Country Club
A contemporary grill restaurant set within the grounds of Yas Acres Golf & Country Club, Acres Grill House combines a stylish, welcoming atmosphere with the kind of setting that makes any evening feel like an occasion.
Community Quiz Nights
Selected Fridays | From 7pm | Starting September 11th
The quiz is back at Yas Acres - and it's free to enter. Gather your team and head to Acres Grill House on September 11th for an evening of competitive trivia, great atmosphere and prizes up for grabs. Community nights don't get much better than this.
Villa Sélène - Yas Links Abu Dhabi
Perched above the Arabian Gulf at Yas Links, Villa Sélène moves effortlessly between a sun-drenched Saturday brunch destination and an intimate Friday evening that candlelight and a live pianist make entirely its own.
Oumsia
Every Friday | 6pm – 9pm
Friday evenings take on a new rhythm with Oumsia, Villa Sélène's latest dining experience. Expect a candlelit setting, live piano and a selection of sharing dishes created for lingering conversations and unhurried moments around the table.
Côte d'Azur Brunch
Saturdays | 12:30pm – 4pm
A celebration of Mediterranean cuisine, Côte d'Azur Brunch showcases a menu built around fresh ingredients, coastal flavours and dishes made for sharing. Expect everything from seafood and seasonal salads to beautifully prepared mains and decadent desserts, all served in a setting that encourages guests to settle in and savour the afternoon.
Crafty Fox - Yas Links Abu Dhabi
Busy, social and always worth the evening. Crafty Fox Yas Links has a calendar that gives you a reason to visit any night of the week - and this September, two new experiences make that case even more compelling.
Crafty Social
Friday 18th September | 8pm - 12am
Crafty Fox after dark. A live DJ, lounge seating and canapés passed through the room - designed for good conversation, new faces and a Friday evening that earns its place in the month. Two house beverages includes. AED 150 per person. One Friday a month.
Industry Night
Every Monday | 4pm - 12am
For those who make hospitality what it is, Mondays are all about you. Two house beverages and two bar bites for AED 99 - with a further 30% off selected food and beverages throughout the evening. Available for hospitality professionals with valid ID or proof of employment.
Hawksbill Restaurant - Saadiyat Beach Golf Club
Tucker into the natural landscape of Saadiyat Island, Hawksbill is a restaurant that earns its reputation through calm. Arabian gazelles roam the grounds. The championship golf course stretches beyond the window. The kitchen keeps things fresh, seasonal and considered. It's welcoming at any time of day.
Sunday Roast
Every Sunday | 12pm – 7pm
A table by the window. Gazelles crossing the fairway beyond. A plate of your chosen cut and all the trimmings nestled in a Yorkshire pudding. No reason to be anywhere. Hawksbill's Roast isn't just a meal, it's a Sunday ritual, served at whatever pace you choose. From AED 90.
Afternoon Tea
Monday to Thursday | 3pm - 6pm | Starting September 7th
Considered, generous and long overdue. We're bringing Afternoon Tea to Hawksbill from September 7th. Served overlooking the championship golf course and the natural landscape of Saadiyat Island, there is nowhere quieter or more serene to spend a September afternoon in Abu Dhabi.
Expect scones, macaroons, caramel tarts and churros alongside smoked salmon blinis, soft shell tacos and baked garlic aioli. AED 120 for two people, with your choice of tea, coffee or a soft drink per person.
