Blue Grill

Blue Grill

A carnivore’s playground, this Yas Island steakhouse is justly known for some of the best meat in Abu Dhabi. Well aged and well hung, the prime steaks come from opposite ends of the earth, with hearty American cuts and intensely flavoured Australian Angus beef to choose from. Whether you like it nicely charred or bloody and rare, the chefs never fail to get it right. But if you don’t like it at all (meat, that is) there’s a raft of seafood and vegetarian dishes to enjoy with Blue Grill’s vast collection of Old and New World vintages.
