Tucked along the serene coastline at Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, Mermaid Restaurant feels like a Grecian escape wrapped into Abu Dhabi luxury. The décor reflects nautical charm—whitewashed ceilings, stripe accents, and subtle sea-inspired textures-sending beachy Mediterranean vibes across the space.
Begin with light mezze like shrimp saganaki, fried calamari, smoky roasted eggplant or refreshing Greek salad. Then dive into mains that glow with freshness: grilled seabass, barbecue prawns with chimichurri, shrimp linguine or saffron orzo topped with calamari. Each dish highlights pristine seafood and vivid Mediterranean flavours.
A sweet finish? Choose from Turkish baklava, almond-studded halva or seasonal fruit platters—simple, authentic and satisfying.
With an average spend of AED 350 for two (without alcohol), Mermaid offers value that matches its scenic setting. It’s particularly enjoyable at sunset, when live Sirtaki music drifts over waves and the tables spill out onto the water’s edge. Service earns praise for being gracious and attentive, making it a lovely spot to unwind.
Whether it’s a romantic dinner under fairy lights, a seafood dinner with friends, or a family meal with coastal breeze—Mermaid Restaurant delivers Mediterranean flair, elegant presentation, and beachside charm.
