The story
Erth Restaurant elegantly celebrates the simple truth that savouring great food is an inherently soulful experience. Found in the company of Al Hosn and the Cultural Foundation, it lives in Abu Dhabi’s true heart. The welcome carries forward the proud Emirati culture of hospitality; the generosity of spirit is sincere. The inspired flavours are both known and new – nostalgic and experimental, authentic and evolved. The chefs openly explore the wonders of the country’s rich bounty of ingredients and storied culinary diversity.
The interior, designed by BONE Studio, pays homage to Emirati culture through locally inspired materials. The studio collaborated with regional artisans including Al Joud Lootah, Khalid Shafar, Zuleya, Toru, and Bahraini Danish to creatively furnish the space. The result is an atmosphere that feels both grounded and refined, perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients are locally sourced in collaboration with farms from Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Hatta, and across the Emirates. This commitment to local produce underpins a menu that draws from Emirati and North African culinary traditions, presented with a modern sensibility. The cuisine is a reflection of the land and its heritage.
Erth’s dedication to culinary excellence has been recognised on the global stage. The restaurant has been awarded a Michelin star for three consecutive years, a testament to its high-quality cooking. It has also received the FACT Award for Best Middle Eastern & North African Restaurant, won Best MENA at the Time Out Abu Dhabi Restaurant Awards in 2023 and 2024, and, together with BONE Studio, won the 2022 identity Design Award for Design of the Year and Best Interior Design – Restaurant.
