Foodies in Abu Dhabi will soon have a collection of new international restaurants to choose from when dining out in the capital.

The Galleria, in conjunction with Gulf Related, the developer behind the much-anticipated US$1 billion Al Maryah Central retail development scheduled to open in 2018, on Monday announced that several new internationally recognised restaurant brands will open in the next 12 months as part of The Dining Collection.

In addition to Al Maryah’s latest newcomer Roberto’s, which is currently in its soft-opening phase, Coya, Nusr-Et, Samar, Eat Greek, Loca and La Petite Maison are all set to tempt the taste buds of residents and visitors before the end of 2017.

Representatives for The Galleria, which is already home to Zuma and Bentley’s Bistro, say it is hoped The Dining Collection will “represent one of the most desirable dining destinations in the Middle East”.
