Abu Dhabi, UAE, 27 December 2024: Since its launch on 6 December, MOTN Festival has transformed Abu Dhabi Corniche into a haven for food lovers. With less than five days remaining before the festival wraps up on the 31st, don’t miss your chance to dive into unique culinary experiences. Explore vibrant communal dining spaces and savour offerings from innovative homegrown and international F&B vendors, delivering bold and nostalgic flavours to delight every palate.
This year’s MOTN at Abu Dhabi has a brand-new communal dining vibe at The Food Hall by Dome. Located in the Indulge Zone, enjoy a shared dining experience with six of the trendiest international F&B spots and top culinary talent in one place. From gooey cookies and reimagined American favourites to liquid nitrogen ice cream, the festival adds a touch of wonder to every bite for both kids and adults. Award-winning international and local favourites are spread throughout other zones, so you can snack your way through the festival wherever you wander.
Discover The Food Hall by Dome
The Food Hall by Dome is the culinary centrepiece of the festival on Abu Dhabi Corniche. Festivalgoers can also enjoy their tasty bites as they settle in for some movie magic, blending flavours and films for an entertainment feast.
Six award-winning restaurants are serving up their signature favourites at pop-up food stalls, only available at MOTN Abu Dhabi. For a refined take on the classic American hotdog, try Frank!, known for its cornbread-style buns and London-inspired flavours. Those craving Southern spice can stop by Lucky’s Hot Chicken by Senseless Heat, bringing Nashville chicken with heat levels from mild ‘Country’ to the daring ‘Good Luck’.
Comfort food lovers will enjoy Meltsmiths, serving up their gooey grilled cheese sandwiches with artisan bread and rich homemade sauces famous across London markets. Peckish brings iconic smashed burgers, straight from Camden Market, with single, double, or triple patties to customise each bite. For dessert, Soft Serve Society will satisfy with creamy soft-serve ice cream, decadent sundaes, and refreshing bubble teas. For those looking to push the boundaries of taste, Voodoo Ray’s is flipping NYC-style pizzas that are as big as they are delicious, with a crispy crust and premium toppings—perfect for sharing or enjoying solo.
Finally, treat yourself to Brooki, an Australian bakery based in Brisbane famed for its indulgent cookies in flavours like NYC Cookie, Nutella Milk Choc Chip, and Red Velvet.
Find hidden gems in all the zones
In the Amuse Zone, visitors can find hidden gems like Pastasole, where authentic Italian pasta meets the energetic vibe of New York, delivering an Italian-American fusion with each bite. For dessert lovers, Chin Chin ice cream brings a twist with liquid nitrogen creations, featuring flavours like Coffee & Olive Oil, making it a must-try for those craving something fresh and innovative.
The Thrill Zone isn’t just about the thrilling rides; it’s a food lover’s playground. Untangle some homegrown magic at the Ugly Noodles by Ugly Boys pop-up, heating up the pan for Hong Kong street-style dishes with their signature Chicken and Shrimp Sichuan Wontons and Dan Dan Noodles. Feeling indecisive? You cannot go wrong with irdk, a quirky spot packed with matcha goodies that’ll keep everyone smiling.
Concerts and food are always a winning combo. Swing by the Entertain arena for all-day action and linger on for street-side goodness here. Grab freshly baked Kaaké from Kaak W Somsom, bringing a slice of Lebanon’s streets to your plate. If Mexican flavours are calling, La Patrona is wrapping up tacos and other Mexican street foods to enjoy right here in the UAE.
So, whether you’re in the mood for a juicy burger, a slice of artisanal pizza, or a cool, creamy dessert, head over to MOTN on the Abu Dhabi Corniche for an ‘Out of This World’ flavour trip before the end of this month.
A variety of locally loved F&B vendors are also spread across multiple zones, serving city favourites to festivalgoers. The full vendor list can be found on MOTN.ae
