Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi has reopened its popular outdoor space The Garden, just in time for winter. With a new menu from Brauhaus’ chef, guests can enjoy smoked meats and light bites with a side of sea views.
The idyllic terrace, found between seafood restaurant Finz and German bar Brauhaus, is surrounded by greenery, making it the perfect spot for making the most of the colder months. Following upgrades over the summer months, The Garden now has an enhanced seating area.
Led by Chef Pedro Kimmig, the new menu has a focus on smoked meats. Think Oak-Smoked Baby Chicken with romesco sauce, charred corn and hazelnut picada; a cherry wood-smoked Wagyu Burger topped with smoked cheddar, smoked mayo, and pickles; and the apple wood-smoked Beef Short Rib.

For those looking for a quick bite over drinks, the small plates menu includes Avocado Spread served with taco chips; Cauliflower Pop Corn with a truffle dip; and Crisp Calamari. Sharing boards are also available, including a Cheese & Charcuterie board and a BBQ Beef Board with smoked ribs, farm sausage, smoked brisket and smoked marinated beef steak.
Other highlights include the Mango & Avocado Salad, the Mussel Pot and the Stone Baked Flatbread. An extensive selection of dishes is also available, including Pulled Tacos; Spare Ribs and a Rustic Board with smoked bockwurst, grilled bratwurst and belly.
The perfect spot for sundowners, the drinks menu is international, covering draught and bottled hops from Belgium, Germany and Italy, Mediterranean-inspired mixers.
The Garden is open from Monday to Thursday between 4:00pm and 1:00am, and between 1:00pm and 1:00am from Friday to Sunday.
