Situated in Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, HakKasan inspires elegance, energy, and innovation.
With dishes inspired by ancient recipes, a unique wine philosophy, innovative cocktail creations, artistic patisserie, and iconic design. It was founded in 2001, Hakkasan celebrates Chinese cuisine through traditional techniques, the finest ingredients, and contemporary flair. Each kitchen is led by a talented chef whose passion lies in creating uniquely rooted yet modern dishes.
▪️Ancient gastronomy reimagined for the modern-day
Hakkasan’s unique cuisine blends authentic Cantonese recipes with contemporary influences. The kitchen teams create modern dishes using traditional techniques and the finest quality ingredients.
▪️Harmony: the Hakkasan wine philosophy
Hakkasan features over 400 wines from all over the world as part of an extensive wine program, ranging from classic wines available by the glass to fine vintages.
Every week, Hakkasan’s wine team conducts a dedicated tasting session, trying out new wines with different dishes from the menu: if a wine does not work with one dish – even if it is great with the others – it does not make the list. All wines are continually tasted as the vintages change to ensure that they complement the cuisine.
▪️Artistry on a plate
Hakkasan’s approach to patisserie is distinctive: the pastry chefs explore the relationship between classical techniques from Europe and the distinctive flavors and spices inherent in Cantonese cuisine, specifically focusing on how these can complement each other and surprise you.
▪️Strength and grace
The cocktail industry is always evolving, with new innovations and trends emerging at a rapid rate. In order to become an accomplished bartender at Hakkasan, it is essential to have an exceptionally creative imagination, a willingness to share knowledge, and a passion for success. The heart and soul of the Hakkasan drinks list are the six-character cocktails, while the Only At collection showcases the skills, creativity, and continuous innovation of the bar.
▪️Opulence in design
Originally conceived by renowned designer Christian Liaigre, the restaurant interiors are opulent yet intimate.
Fusing modern design and traditional Chinese motifs, with dark wood screens, rich materials, and subtle use of lighting, the signature design of Hakkasan is experienced in every restaurant across the world.
With every detail carefully considered, from the scent and sound and last artful bite, Hakkasan offers a truly immersive experience.
▪️Hakkasan Terrace
