Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill

Steak on an expense account
Talk of the town: MPW has already attracted a celebrity set. Stevie Wonder stopped by on a recent visit to the city and raved about the chocolate mousse.

This spot marks bad-boy-chef Marco Pierre White’s first foray into Abu Dhabi, and so far, the place has garnered rave reviews. The menu is simple: beef prevails, and cuts of steak come with a selection of indulgent sauces—the truffle hits the spot nicely—and desserts are rich and calorie laden.
Manly chestnut hues, a roaring fireplace and marble lend a sophisticated vibe to this carnivore's paradise, although the price can verge on extortion—a meal for two can easily surpass the AED 1,000 mark. However, if calories and money are no object, MPW makes for stellar dining.
