Sponsored: The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort introduces Sophia Abu Dhabi, its latest culinary destination, celebrating the soul of Mediterranean dining

Sophia honours those who bring people together through generosity and the joy of sharing a meal. She is the matriarch, the storyteller, the creator of unforgettable gatherings, where food becomes a language of love and tradition.

Drawing on this legacy, Sophia turns the flavours of 22 Mediterranean countries into a distinctive dining experience. The menu highlights Greek salads, spiced Moroccan tagines, grilled Turkish kebabs, Spanish paella, and Italian pastas.

The beverage programme reflects the region’s heritage, with concoctions infused with citrus, herbs, and spices. A grape selection from Greece, Lebanon, Spain, Italy, and France complements the menu, while Turkish coffee, Moroccan mint tea, and the anise-flavoured Raki pay homage to Mediterranean traditions.

Sophia’s design brings together elegant style and Mediterranean character. At the interactive Cig Köfte Bar, chefs turn tradition into a little theatre as they prepare spiced raw meat with care. Dishes are served family-style, encouraging guests to share and try a variety of flavours. A glass-fronted cellar adds a sense of exclusivity, while the main dining room incorporates a more classic style.

Reserve your table at Sophia Abu Dhabi and take a journey through the Mediterranean.
