An extravagant dining experience at Aqua
Strategically located at the most Instagramable location, Aqua offers the most gorgeous waterfront views from its restaurant and its terrace. Diners will now be able to enjoy true culinary experience with an array of options including a Cold & Oyster Bar serving the freshest varieties of oysters paired with exquisite dressings such as apple jelly, Kalamansi syrup, Sa-cha Aioli, and others.
The chefs at Aqua pride themselves on using fresh, local ingredients with the minimum food miles for more mindful dining. Gloriously simple ingredients burst into life thanks to the chef’s creativity and even something as simple as a salad takes on a new level of excellence.
For all cheese-lovers, the venue offers luxurious and healthy boards curated from a selection of the finest and freshest cheeses.
Diners can also relish in Indian and Mexican flavours to captivate taste buds or indulge in the ‘Wood & Fire’ menu. There is no doubt that the former pop up restaurant Wood & Fire is the epitome of the new Aqua dining experience, a gastronomic journey across the globe that culminates with the signature Tuna Tartare or its famous 12 hours of burnt end brisket. Following the success of the Wood & Fire menu, it has become a permanent feature of the Aqua dining experience. The menu features favorites such as Rib Eye or Tenderloin steak, Harissa Spit fire prawns, Jamaican jerk chicken all freshly prepared by the dedicated team of chefs working their magic on the live cooking stations.
The indulgent meal ends with a range of decadent sweet treats such as Pahari Chocolate cake, Cinnamon Pineapple Jalousie or Pear sundae.
The à la carte menu is enhanced by live action cooking, where guests can watch these renowned chefs at work.
Aqua’s dining menu is available to order from 7PM to 11PM daily. For bookings, contact AbuDhabi.Aqua@rosewoodhotels.com or call +971 2 813 5550.
