While it’s still open for a few more weeks, Pearls & Caviar at the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi is rebranding itself as a Spanish tapas restaurant at the end of April. The new restaurant, called P&C by Sergi Arola will launch on April 25. This will be Michelin-starred Spanish chef Sergi Arola’s first restaurant in the country, his 14th in the world. While he won’t be at the helm on a daily basis, Arola will be intimately involved with his latest venture. The new restaurant will focus on Spanish tapas, unique paellas and a variety of traditional Spanish dishes. Look for our interview with chef Arola in Sunday’s edition of Arts & Life.
