The homegrown eatery will bring modern Asian flavours to the capital.
3Fils, the Dubai-based restaurant celebrated for its modern Asian cuisine, will expand into the capital. The new outpost will be located in The Abu Dhabi EDITION, the vibrant marina district in Al Bateen.
Since its launch in 2016, 3Fils has achieved significant accolades, becoming the first restaurant to clinch the top spot in MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2022 and earning the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand in 2023. Known for its innovative dishes and dedication to culinary excellence, 3Fils has quickly become a firm favourite in Dubai’s dining scene.
“Expanding to Abu Dhabi is a natural progression for us, given the tremendous support and love we’ve received in Dubai,” said Ahmed Abdul Hakim, founder of 3 Fils. “We are thrilled to embark on this new venture with The Lab Holding and introduce our distinctive dining experience to a new audience. Our goal is to redefine the culinary landscape in Abu Dhabi, just as we have in Dubai.”

The Abu Dhabi expansion marks a crucial milestone, delivering a dining experience that combines the culinary artistry of 3Fils with the luxurious comfort of The Abu Dhabi EDITION. The hotel offers a distinctive, upscale environment, blending innovative design with a celebration of Emirati culture and traditions—creating the perfect home for 3Fils’ first outpost outside Dubai.
“The Abu Dhabi EDITION is excited to welcome 3Fils Restaurant to the capital,” said Katrin Herz, General Manager of The Abu Dhabi EDITION. “This partnership is set to transform the dining scene not only in Al Bateen but across Abu Dhabi, bringing a fresh and innovative experience. We are confident that The Lab Holding’s expertise and creativity will further elevate The Abu Dhabi EDITION’s culinary offerings, exceeding the expectations of our guests.”

The new 3Fils location at The Abu Dhabi EDITION will be a three-level space with two terraces overlooking the stunning marina and the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf.
Highlight dishes include the Truffle Burger, Tuna Carpaccio with Uni, the Wagyu Sando and superb sushi options.
