3Fils Abu Dhabi

3Fils Abu Dhabi is a contemporary Japanese restaurant at The Abu Dhabi EDITION in Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand along with a 2026 Michelin Opening of the Year recognition. It is the Abu Dhabi outpost of the casual Japanese concept first established in Dubai. The restaurant occupies a minimalist three-floor space where chefs in baseball caps cook in the open kitchen, giving the room an energetic, informal character rather than a hushed fine-dining feel. The menu centres on sashimi, prawns and grilled dishes. The chargrilled baby chicken is the signature dish and the item most often cited, and the Take Me To The Moon dessert has become a talking point of its own. The atmosphere is buzzy and relaxed, with a noise level that rises through the evening, and the dress code is smart casual. No alcohol is served, so the beverage list is non-alcoholic, centred on mocktails, teas and soft drinks. Prices are in the mid-range tier, roughly AED 90 to 180 per person, which is considered good value given the hotel setting and the quality recognised by the Michelin listing. Opening hours are daily from 12:00 to 00:00. Reservations can be made by phone on +971 56 591 1772, and because the restaurant has won significant recognition, booking well ahead is sensible, especially for dinner and weekends. The Al Bateen location is a short drive from the Corniche and the marina, and the restaurant suits both dinners with friends and relaxed lunches. Counter seating by the open kitchen gives a view of the chefs at work, and may be worth requesting.
