Local tip
The daily catch is displayed on ice, so checking the selection before choosing a preparation can help shape the meal.

Ibn Al Bahr - Al Reem Island is a seafood restaurant at Al Reem Island - RS4, Abu Dhabi, set along the shores of Makers District. The venue combines a waterside setting with the coastal character of the Levant, creating a relaxed place for seafood and shared dining.

Seafood forms the centre of the menu, with the daily catch displayed on ice before preparation. Diners can choose from the available selection and have it prepared according to the restaurant’s style, with Mediterranean flavours shaping the finished dishes. The menu also includes mezze and grilled seafood, bringing together fresh ingredients, bold seasoning and recipes rooted in coastal traditions.

The atmosphere is closely tied to the waterfront. A sea breeze, the sound of the waves and an open coastal feel give the restaurant a setting that suits leisurely meals rather than rushed dining. The design and hospitality reflect the social side of Mediterranean food, where seafood and small plates are shared around the table.

Ibn Al Bahr suits seafood-focused diners, friends meeting for a relaxed meal and parties looking for a menu that can be ordered for sharing. It also offers a suitable setting for guests who enjoy choosing seafood from a displayed selection instead of ordering from a menu alone. The combination of mezze, grilled seafood and daily catches allows a meal to range from a light selection of shared plates to a fuller seafood gathering.

Its location by the water gives the restaurant a distinct coastal identity, while the food connects the island setting with Levantine and Mediterranean traditions. Ibn Al Bahr - Al Reem Island is a natural choice for a seafood meal shaped by freshness, communal dining and a view towards the water, with the changing catch providing a central part of the experience.
