the bistro

i went there over 4 times, first time was in ramadan and all the rest were firday brunches with family and friends and every time i go there i love theplacemore and more. thisplacedeserves a visit, starting with the starters which has wide range of everything and although the buffet is not that big but serves many tastes for different ppl and i live their chocolate pudding never miss it! also they have a kids area which is convenient for anyone with kids. i would recommend thisplacebased on its food quality and their great team. thanks for making my visit always perfect

a niceplacein the city for a quick family dine in, really enjoyed the evening, the staff was courteous and also offered a birthday cake for my son. though not much options but still overall a great experience.

theplaceis kinda small. i love the slow cooked lamb and the desserts. the staffs are nice. there’s also a spot there where they will cook the pasta pf your preference and they will also make either pancake or crepes of your choice. there are also indian cuisines and a lot of salads and seafoods.

i decided to come here because of the great experience i've had with courtyard marriott in kochi, india. though i did learn after visiting theplacethat this is a 4star and not a 5star like the one i've been to.

we visited on a saturday afternoon, also because it was my wife's birthday. the moment you enter you are greeted by the buffet, as the stations have been setup close to the entrance. then they have this huge seating area behind it with plenty of sofa seating, so it doesn't feel cramped one bit. i chose to use the entertainer voucher, and was even given the option of their promotional rate of aed75/person net. the buffet is laid out in such a way that it feels small, but it isn't really. however, keep in mind to visit their brunch on friday afternoon, tuesday evening and thursday evening when the spread is bigger.

when i initially saw the buffet, i was a bit sceptical. we decided to stick around since the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, but the food took us completely by surprise. it's the first time i've had a buffet where the food didn't feel like it came from a buffet. the cajun chicken was soft and succulent throughout our time there, i'd pick it every time i did my rounds, and it was consistent each time. the potato wedges were crispy, the beef was tender, the salads were really good. mr. amit who was in charge at noon even offered to get us additional items from the kitchen to our liking if anything interested us, also specially catering to the kids needs. even when i suggested there needed to be more desserts, he gladly offered to get us a dessert platter off the menu, but we kindly refused as the available desserts were really good and satisfying. it was good to see a restaurant go out of their way to please a customer.

overall, we had such a good time when we were there. though the items may have felt limited, it felt easier since we weren't bombarded with too many choices, and each item held it's own that we came back for seconds more than once. there wasn't one item that my wife and i disagreed on saying it wasn't good. kudos to the chefs on such an amazing job. a big thanks to florence and the team for pulling a surprise on my wife with the birthday cake and song routine. also to mahesh who tended to us the whole time.

highly recommended!

lovelyplaceto have a breakfast buffet. it had a huge variety of continental and american menu. and on top of that, when the manager saw my toddler fussing about the food, he came to us and offered to make any indian dish of our choice but we refused, as we were literally stuffed by the different items.

we had been here for midweek brunch on our anniversary. we had made reservations beforehand and mentioned as vegetarians specifically.
the buffet spread is good for a non vegetarian, especially given the low price.
the staff was extremely friendly and very attentive to us. i would rate the food at 4/5.
they prepared us extra dishes apart from the buffet as there was only one veg options.
not much dessert options compared to other restaurants, but umm ali and sticky pudding was delicious.
would definitely recommend thisplacefor a quiet and enjoyable dinner.

this is the second time in a week period we visit bistrow restuarant over a thursday night brunch for a very simple reason , as thisplaceis full with customer oriented staff that pamper you from the time you enter theplacetill you pay your bill ! we were overwhelmed with the sincere service of sankat and florence as both were doing their best to make us feel comfortable , furthermore the seafood night is outstanding and mouthwatering . this is the best thursday night buffet by all means and aplacethat need to be visited so often ...

a niceplacefor a quiet breakfast and great when they have offers on. otherwise a little pricey but very good food and nice service. a nice treat :)

thisplace i can say is one of the greatplacefor a buffet, aside from their very affordable price, their food has wide array to choose from wherein we really enjoyed.though i think their schedule for buffet is just 2x per week ( tuesday and thursday) it is really worth the wait. service is also warmth and servers were so pleasant and accomodating.surely be we will be here over and over again. superb experience!

a very good inexpensive brunch option in the heart of the city with good decent spread. from sea food salads including oysters to asian subcontinent and arabic main course to a tasty dessert options this is an idealplaceto eat out and relax. theplacealso has a small area for children to play around. alsi on offer is their aed 99+ dinner buffets on tuesday n thursdays which also has a nice spread.

last tuesday i was invited to enjoy brunch at the bistro at courtyard marriot in abu dhabi. usually brunch takesplaceduring the day time (hence breakfast-lunch) and on a weekend so that you could enjoy freely to your hearts content. but why limit ourselves to just the weekend?!. mid-week night brunch

one of the first few places i tried this ramadan. and oh my god!! i mean thank god !! it was a good one. i had already received threats from  my frnd that if this is a bad one, she wont join me for iftar ever any further. but thisplacesaved me. the parking, ambience, decoration, everything was very nice. coming to the food, we were soooo shocked with the salad variety i mean, we thought ramadan is all abt business and most ppl are on profit by putting only a limited no. of varieties. well thisplacemeant quality and absolute quality in every way possible. the salad bar was massive. the biryani , shwarma , grills, prawns , kebbe, etc etc etc. i dont even remember the variety of food now, there were soo many. and we were not tired at all eating it, since we were all fasting. and the ambience was perfect. the staff was sooo friendly. coming to the drinks and the sweets omg!! again.. sooo many variety. i just couldnt stop. kept on hogging and hogging and hogging. haha!! that day i didnt even have my sehri because i had that much of food at bistro. loved it !! absolutely loved it!! it will be my first destination next ramadan for sure. i havent tried the friday brunch but i trust it will be as amazing as ramadan iftar was. :)

what an incredible hotel to stay at. loved the hospitality and the room decor. love how the hotel is connected to the mall which is really convenient if you want to shop around. the location is accessible and has a great view. love the pool and gym facilities! the thursday brunch has an incredible variety. if you are looking for aplaceto stay in abu dhabi, i highly recommend you to try it.

amazing mouth watering desserts 😍 you can't stop with just one helping! real classyplacefor a dinner buffet.loved the ambience!
umpteen varities of food to choose from & really good service too.

small but fun.

the brunch here at bistro in the courtyard marriott is a good one albeit it a bit smaller than the other brunch around. don't let that stop you though. the food is delicious and the staff are lovely. there is a pasta station, raw bar, bread bar, salads and sushi along with meats, curries and asian dishes. theplaceis kid friendly so don't expect loud music, instead expect families and a quieter time.

the deserts are especially great.

the food is tasty, well prepared and presented... pop along and try a quieter, more laid back brunch.
