Business Lunch in Abu Dhabi: Marcella at Yas Bay
Marcella at Yas Bay Waterfront serves a curated Spanish business lunch, Monday to Friday, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM — two courses for AED 95 and three courses for AED 125. Led by Chef-Patron Mario Loi, a MICHELIN Guide-recognised chef with over a decade in the region’s top dining rooms, the kitchen brings wood-fired Iberian cooking to one of Abu Dhabi’s most accessible and impressive waterfront destinations.
Whether you’re hosting a client, meeting the team, or stepping away from the desk, Marcella offers a dining room built for conversation — natural light, open bay views, and a relaxed but refined atmosphere that moves at your pace.
What the Business Lunch at Marcella Includes
Available Monday through Friday from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, the Marcella business lunch offers a choice between two formats:
- Two courses for AED 95 (starter and main)
- Three courses for AED 125 (starter, main, dessert)
The menu rotates seasonally, drawing from the same Spanish kitchen that drives the full Marcella dining experience. The dishes are rooted in Iberian technique and wood-fired cooking – designed to suit a client meeting, a team lunch, or a proper break from the desk.
Why Yas Bay Works for Business Lunch
Location matters for a business lunch, and Yas Bay delivers. The waterfront setting at Yas Bay brings natural light and open views across the bay — the kind of breathing space that makes a two-hour client lunch feel effortless rather than rushed.
Marcella’s interior carries the same quality: a warm, open dining room with a zinc-topped bar as its centrepiece and a layout that makes conversation easy without feeling crowded. It is the kind of space where a two-hour lunch does not feel rushed, and a quick one-hour catch-up does not feel wasted.
For clients visiting from outside Abu Dhabi, Yas Bay is also an effortless destination: easily accessible, well-known, and genuinely impressive without trying too hard.
The Food That Actually Matters
The Marcella business lunch is led by Chef-Patron Mario Loi, whose career spans over a decade across the region’s top dining rooms and includes recognition in the MICHELIN Guide Abu Dhabi.
The cooking is rooted in Iberian technique — wood-fired, ingredient-led, and built around the bold flavours of a genuine Spanish kitchen. Starters draw from the tapas tradition, while the larger plates bring the kind of refinement and depth that make the food equally suited to a relaxed team lunch or a client-facing occasion.
