Abu Dhabi restaurants open for daytime dining over Ramadan – 2019

For those not fasting over Ramadan, like me, you will want to know where best to grab breakfast, lunch, or a coffee in Abu Dhabi. Just like last year, here is a round-up of independent restaurants and cafés in the capital that are open for dining IN during the day over the holy month. The establishments included are only those not based in hotels, as they will have their usual restaurants open as normal. We have tried to include some of Abu Dhabi’s more casual, hidden wonders to complement the well-known concepts, whilst avoiding those just open for take-away or delivery.

This is the first year that some of Abu Dhabi’s licensed restaurants are openly serving more than just juice, and these venues are highlighted. Opening hours and telephone numbers have been verified, but please call ahead to accommodate any last-minute changes. For a similar guide on Dubai, please click HERE.

If you have any additions or changes, let us know in the comments, or on your favourite social media channel using the hashtag #RamadanDining and we will update this guide regularly.
