We are delighted to announce that the brand-new Marco's New York Italian in Abu Dhabi, which opened in September 2019, was awarded Best Newcomer at The Time Out Abu Dhabi Restaurant Awards.

A great achievement by everyone involved and shows how the support and guidance from the Black and White Hospitality team helps venues like the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr hotel create award-winning dining experiences.

This is what the judges thought:

"With a cool bar area, lots of retro booth and photos of the man himself covering the walls, the latest Abu Dhabi restaurant from celebrity chef Marco Pierre White is certainly a venue made for Instagram. But this casual yet buzzing venue isn’t just a stylish place to hang out and feel like a slick hipster. The Italian plates are simple (like all good Italian grub should be), expertly made and created with the highest possible ingredients. The pizzas are incredible, and the other American-influenced plates include steaks with barbecue glaze, Boston crab cakes, mighty burgers and a good range of salads. We’re thrilled to welcome it into our already thriving dining scene."
