restaurant
Asia de Cuba
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
The eclectic Chino-Latino restaurant from St Martin's Lane in London made its way to Abu Dhabi in 2015. Here, Asia de Cuba's alfresco deck and cool cabanas make the most of its beachfront location. By day, dine on a marriage of Asian and Latin flavours against a backdrop of white sand, blue sky and bluer sea. Expect zesty ceviches, salads, small plates, signature wok dishes and Asian paella, washed down with crafted cocktails or botanical virgin "cleansers". Come weekend, the atmospheric bar draws the city's beau monde with rhythm-pumping DJs and bottomless brunches.
