Novikov, the internationally acclaimed dining destination celebrated for its glamorous London flagship, has officially debuted in Abu Dhabi with a bold new Mediterranean concept. Located at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island—Abu Dhabi’s premier financial and lifestyle district—Novikov Abu Dhabi blends heritage, craftsmanship, and innovation to create a refined dining experience that draws inspiration from coastal Italy, Southern France and the Greek isles. This launch reinforces the capital’s emergence as a global culinary and cultural destination.

Founder Arkady Novikov’s vision has always been rooted in offering world-class hospitality tailored to the cosmopolitan tastes of each city. In Abu Dhabi, the brand unveils a carefully crafted menu led by Executive Chef Marco Lubian and Head Chef Alberto Dorigo, both of whom bring a soulful approach to Mediterranean cuisine. Every dish showcases meticulous technique and high-quality ingredients, such as the Charcoal-Grilled Octopus with padrón peppers and the house-favourite Lobster Linguini. Starters include creamy Burrata, Foie Gras Tuna Carpaccio, and a decadent Beef Carpaccio with black truffle—each a nod to traditional flavours reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.

The dessert menu is equally expressive. Highlights like the Meringue Cake and Lemon Amalfi offer a delicate balance of nostalgia and innovation, while the Gelato with Amarena Cherries presents a creamy finale that reflects Chef Marco’s Italian roots. In a tribute to its legacy, the restaurant also incorporates iconic Asian-inspired dishes from Novikov London, such as Wagyu Tacos and the dramatic Wasabi King Crab Leg—providing diners with the best of both culinary worlds.

The venue itself is an immersive experience. An open kitchen anchors the main space, flanked by real olive trees, hand-painted artwork, and modern Mediterranean touches. From the sleek bar to the warm-toned dining room and exclusive private dining area, each corner of Novikov Abu Dhabi is designed to engage the senses. A terrace overlooking the Al Maryah Island waterfront will soon open, ideal for al fresco dining during the cooler months.

After dark, Novikov transforms into an elegant nightlife destination, complete with live music and curated DJ sets that add rhythm and sophistication to the atmosphere. Whether it’s a romantic dinner, a business lunch, or an evening of refined entertainment, every moment at Novikov Abu Dhabi is infused with taste, style, and a cosmopolitan flair.

With its rich culinary storytelling, vibrant setting, and seamless blend of global inspiration, Novikov Abu Dhabi not only raises the bar for fine dining in the capital—it sets a new benchmark for what immersive gastronomy can be in the UAE.

From sunset aperitivos to late-night dinners, Novikov Abu Dhabi offers a dining journey tailored for every occasion. The service is polished yet warm, reflecting the brand’s commitment to delivering not just exceptional cuisine but an atmosphere of effortless elegance. The curated menu also accommodates a variety of dietary preferences, ensuring that every guest feels seen, catered to, and welcomed with intention.

With its Abu Dhabi debut, Novikov introduces a lifestyle destination that goes beyond the traditional restaurant format. It brings together artistry, gastronomy, and music in a single, elevated space—creating a seamless experience that feels both exclusive and approachable. As Abu Dhabi continues to evolve into a global capital of culture and cuisine, Novikov’s arrival marks a pivotal chapter in the city’s fine dining narrative—one that celebrates craftsmanship, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the good life.
