Abu Dhabi has worked hard to become a cosmopolitan city, and its efforts are evidenced in the wide range of cuisines represented on the dining scene. No matter what you're craving, there's a good chance there's a restaurant serving it here, from cheeseburgers to eclairs to pad thai. In fact, you can eat your way around the world without leaving the Starwood collection of resorts and hotels. Here are a couple good spots to check out:
Lebanese Flower is one of Abu Dhabi's most popular inexpensive restaurants, serving up faithful renditions of your favorites, including falafel, hummus and kebabs — as well as a huge mixed grill big enough to share. Freshly made pita is constantly brought over from the neighboring bakery.
Craving Filipino food? Philippine House is your best bet, though some might be turned off by its cafeteria style presentation. Meanwhile, The Curry House has your Nepalese fix, mixed in with a good amount of Indian.
For a simple steak, though, look no further than the Le Bistrot at Le Méridien Abu Dhabi, where the steak frites should hit the spot.
