Village Club Restaurant opens in heart of Abu Dhabi

The restaurant is the first phase of the Village Club project - A full fledged recreation club.

The glittering affair showcasing the venue's warm ambiance was attended by the owners, events organizers, businessmen, various members of the media, as well as hotel guests. The opening event featured belly dancers, flame throwers, sophisticated light projection and laser display.

As a part of the One to One Hotel, The Village Club Restaurant will jazz up the dining scene in the capital by introducing a mix of live entertainment, as well as a unique meal experience. Employing a rustic look and feel, the Village Club Restaurant is a place where groups of all sizes can congregate to settle down after work, relax during weekends or celebrate special occasions.

Rabih Feghali, One to One Hotel Manager, said:

"Good food and great music, both are wonderful social glue. At The Village Club Restaurant, these can be enjoyed in the most fantastic setting. The menu we offer will be complemented by an ever changing program of a live mix of jazz, Arabic, blues and chill out music to cater to a wide variety of patrons."

Excellent for parties, get-togethers with colleagues as well as for couples and families, the restaurant offers Arabian style cuisines fused with contemporary barbeque-style food options served in a buffet. Guests can choose to sit on wooden chairs or the less conventional bean bags while enjoying their meal, listening to music or having shisha.

Guests will be offered a wide variety of hot and cold foods. There will be approximately 30 different grilled items to choose from, including whole sides of beef, lamb racks, kebab, chicken portions, and kofta, with various stew style dishes to compliment the grilled items. Salads, starch and sauce items will be presented on an Island buffet, along with baked potato ovens, bread displays, and certain Middle Eastern specialties such as foul.

Grace Nasser, Director of Sales and Marketing, added, "We offer a winning concept especially for people who are looking for a fresh dining experience—be it an intimate affair or a large event. With wooden style seating for 600 and a unique beech wood burning BBQ pit, The Village Club Restaurant can accommodate events—big or small."

The Village Club Restaurant is open from 5pm to 12 midnight on weekdays, 5pm to 1am on Thursdays and Fridays and opens at 12 noon on Saturdays.
