Em Sherif Café has finally landed in the capital

Owing to its location, the UAE has seen traditional Arabic cuisine interpreted and reinterpreted into countless iterations that cater to all manner of palates, but few restaurateurs boast the staying power of Mireille Hayek. Her luxury café concept Em Sherif Café exhibits Hayek’s very unique take on Lebanese cuisine, one that triggers fond memories of home cooking while delivering a truly refined dining experience – and the proof is in the proverbial pudding. Em Sherif Café is now present across Lebanon, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE, with the latest opening in Abu Dhabi marketing its seventh outpost.
