The new Village Club restaurant in Abu Dhabi is offering a range of buffet items in a backdrop of live entertainment, according to a statement.

Situated within the One to One Hotel, the restaurant opened on Saturday (March 7), and is the first phase of the Village Club project, a full fledged recreation club.

The opening was attended by the owners, events organizers, businessmen, various members of the media, as well as hotel guests and featured belly dancers, flame throwers, light projection and laser display.

“Good food and great music, both are wonderful social glue,” said Rabih Feghali, One to One Hotel manager.

“At the Village Club restaurant, these can be enjoyed in the most fantastic setting. The menu we offer will be complemented by an ever changing program of a live mix of jazz, Arabic, blues and chill out music to cater to a wide variety of patrons.”

Designed for parties, get-togethers with colleagues as well as for couples and families, the restaurant offers Arabian style cuisines fused with contemporary barbeque-style food options served in a buffet.

Guests can choose to sit on wooden chairs or the less conventional bean bags, listening to music or having shisha.

Guests will be offered a wide variety of hot and cold foods. There will be approximately 30 different grilled items to choose from, including whole sides of beef, lamb racks, kebab, chicken portions, and kofta, with various stew style dishes to compliment the grilled items.

Salads, starch and sauce items will be presented on an Island buffet, along with baked potato ovens, bread displays, and certain Middle Eastern specialties such as foul.

Grace Nasser, director of sales and marketing, added: “We offer a winning concept especially for people who are looking for a fresh dining experience—be it an intimate affair or a large event.

'With wooden style seating for 600 and a unique beech wood burning BBQ pit, the Village Club restaurant can accommodate events—big or small.”

The Village Club restaurant is open from 5pm to midnight on weekdays, 5pm to 1am on Thursdays and Fridays and opens at noon on Saturdays. – TradeArabia News Service
