Nestled along Saadiyat’s pristine Gulf shore, SAL brings the laid‑back glamour of Southern Europe—think Capri, Mykonos, Saint‑Tropez—to Abu Dhabi. With mirrored architecture that reflects the turquoise waters and a chic poolside terrace shimmering with Mediterranean light this is barefoot luxury dining at its finest.
The menu is crafted for sharing: begin with Manchego croquetas, prawns in roasted tomato sauce, tuna tartare with caviar, or crispy calamari dipped in spicy mayo. Signature highlights include king crab with homemade trenette pasta, sea salt‑crusted sea bass, lobster linguine, and grilled lamb chops—each plate capturing sun-kissed flavours and coastal flair.
Vegetarian and vegan diners are catered for with dishes like spinach‑artichoke‑truffle salad and creative croquetas. Kids have a friendly menu featuring chicken Milanese, trenette pasta, and fish-and-chips interpreted with a Mediterranean twist.
Desserts deliver European finesse: pecan mille‑feuille, tiramisu, seasonal sorbets and coupe glacée selections complete the meal with style.
Open daily from midday to late evening, SAL is perfect for sun-drenched lunches, sunset cocktails, or dinner with a sea breeze soundtrack. Guests frequently praise the attentive service, soothing ambiance, and stunning Gulf views—describing it as a dreamy beach club destination where Mediterranean flavours meet Abu Dhabi’s coastal elegance.
