Sunday Lunch in Abu Dhabi: The Best Spots for a Perfect Weekend Feast

At Mika, on the Yas Marina waterfront, Sunday lunch is a four-course set menu paired with a glass of house wine or prosecco, served every Sunday from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm at AED 190 per person. The format stays the same week to week – shared plates to open, a chef-led main and a sweet finish – while the kitchen, led by Chef Patron Mario Loi, refreshes the menu seasonally with the produce coming in.

What’s Included in the Set Menu

The Sunday lunch set menu gives you a clear, generous structure:

For the Table – shared dishes to open the meal, including the Mika house bread with sofrito, zhoug, olives and confit garlic
To Start – a choice from the week’s seasonal starters
For Mains – a single, chef-led course built around the season
To Finish – dessert from the kitchen’s rotating sweets list

A glass of house wine or prosecco is included. The whole meal is paced over two and a half hours – long enough to relax into, short enough to keep the rest of the afternoon open.

What to Expect on the Menu

The four-course structure stays consistent. The dishes are Mediterranean-led, designed to share, and gently refreshed as the season changes – a few favourites tend to stay on the table for a stretch before something new takes their place. A look at what recent menus have looked like:

Where to Sit, What to Drink

Mika’s setting does half the work. The room runs from a Spanish-style tapas counter and open kitchen indoors to a waterfront terrace outside – ask for the terrace when the weather plays along and the indoor dining room when it does not.

Wine and the Bar
The set menu includes a glass of house wine or prosecco. To extend the meal, the wine list runs deeper, and Mika’s sommelier can suggest pours by the glass or a bottle to match the week’s menu. The bar handles seasonal cocktails and mocktails with the same care.

Recognised by the MICHELIN Guide with a Bib Gourmand and a Service Award, Mika’s Sunday Lunch is one of the few set menus in the city that actually moves with the season – a Sunday lunch in Abu Dhabi built to be returned to.
