Arlequin Abu Dhabi

One might think of Arlequin as a hybrid of the best this part of the world has to offer classic cuisine with regional and local flavours. Born in Lebanon in 1951, Arlequin grew up with a mixture of French and Lebanese cooking traditions specialising in melt-in-the-mouth pastries and savouries reminiscent of both Parisian sidewalk cafes and lazy afternoons in a beirut bistro. When the time came to expand overseas, Arlequin chose to open in Abu Dhabi. It was 1977 and Arlequin thrived in the early days of quiet camaraderie among the nationals and expats in the capital city.
