Local tip
For navigation, use the Rosewood Hotel, Al Maryah Island address rather than the restaurant name alone.

Em Sherif Sea Cafe is a Lebanese Mediterranean seafood restaurant at Rosewood Hotel on Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi. The restaurant takes its culinary direction from the meeting point of land and sea, combining regional produce with a seafood-focused approach. Its character is shaped by Lebanese and wider Mediterranean influences, with food presented as a refined expression of the area’s natural ingredients.

The menu centres on seafood and draws on the flavours associated with the Mediterranean coast. The cooking style places emphasis on the quality and freshness of ingredients from the region, allowing produce from both the sea and the land to guide the dining experience. This makes the restaurant suited to diners looking for seafood within a Lebanese Mediterranean setting rather than a narrowly traditional seafood venue.

Em Sherif Sea Cafe presents its food as a considered celebration of regional culinary traditions. Lebanese references give the restaurant its identity, while the Mediterranean influence broadens the style with coastal flavours and an emphasis on ingredient-led preparation. The result is a restaurant concept that connects seafood with the wider produce of the region, rather than treating fish and shellfish in isolation.

The setting inside Rosewood Hotel gives the restaurant a polished hotel dining context. The venue’s coastal inspiration comes through its name and culinary theme, while its menu focuses on the relationship between the earth and the sea. This positioning makes it appropriate for a meal centred on seafood, a Lebanese Mediterranean dining occasion, or a more formal restaurant experience within Al Maryah Island’s hotel and business district.

Em Sherif Sea Cafe is also part of a wider regional restaurant concept with locations across the Middle East, while the Abu Dhabi branch retains the same focus on Lebanese Mediterranean seafood. Its broad cuisine makes it suitable for diners with an interest in coastal food, regional ingredients and polished Lebanese-inspired dining. The restaurant can work for a relaxed meal or a more deliberate occasion, depending on the reason for visiting and the arrangements made in advance.

For navigation, the venue is located at Rosewood Hotel, Al Maryah Island, within Abu Dhabi Global Market Square. The restaurant’s published contact details provide a direct way to check arrangements before arrival, including reservations, seating preferences and dietary requirements.
