Bar Du Port at Yas Marina – French Riviera Vibes Arrive in Abu Dhabi
This coming season, Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi will be home to a new lifestyle and dining destination as Bar du Port makes its debut in the capital in Q4 2025, bringing Riviera-inspired charm, relaxed luxury, and vibrant social energy. The venue, which takes over the space formerly occupied by Iris, will be the sixth location for the brand in the region, joining its established branches in Beirut, Dubai, Doha, Byblos, and Cairo. With its tagline “A Little Luxury, A Lot of Fun,” Bar du Port promises to combine Mediterranean coastal flavours and French-influenced cuisine with a setting designed for enjoyment golden hour views, chic décor, and a waterfront terrace overlooking Yas Marina that feels like a vacation by the sea.
The menu is expected to reflect the French Riviera’s elegant yet playful culinary mood: think wood-grilled octopus, langoustine linguine, slow-cooked grain-fed Angus short ribs, oysters, and decadent desserts such as caramel sauce-drizzled pain perdu. Cocktails will follow suit, mixing coastal freshness with classic technique. The ambiance is set to match: bohemian décor, relaxed seating, and views over boats and water. As the brand’s expansion into Abu Dhabi, Bar du Port’s arrival is part of a broader trend in the UAE where upscale dining and nightlife are no longer limited to Dubai but steadily growing in the capital’s hospitality scene. Yas Marina already draws locals and tourists alike with its waterfront restaurants, nightlife, and energy; Bar du Port is expected to amplify that by offering a destination for evening glamour and daytime escape.
Beyond food and ambience, Bar du Port represents something bigger in Abu Dhabi’s evolution. It signals increased investment in hospitality, the rise of global lifestyle brands in the capital, and a desire to provide elevated experiences that cater both to residents and visitors seeking something special. The location at Yas Marina is strategic: it draws from both marina culture and luxury tourism, making it a perfect spot for those who enjoy fine dining, social nights, signature cocktails, and picturesque sunset views. With the expected opening between October and December 2025, Bar du Port will likely become a hotspot for weekend evenings, gatherings, and events, helping to further redefine dining culture in Abu Dhabi. As the UAE’s appetite for luxury experiences continues to grow, Bar du Port’s arrival marks a new chapter where elegance, flavour, and socialising by the water meet in one place.
