Need to give it a few more tries but based on first impressions it feels like we have a worthy competitor for Coya in the Latin cuisine category. After the abrupt shutdown of Toro Toro, VaKaVa from the same group opens at the same spot at the Jumeirah At Etihad Towers. The restaurant is beautiful...very tastefully done across two levels. We were there for dinner Thursday night. Nice vibe to the place with live music followed by DJ on the upper level. The drinks trolley is a cool concept and let’s you see cocktails mixed up and close. The caipirinhas are a must try. They only use cachaça! We loved the one with passion fruit...very refreshing. We tried the smoky guacamole, salmon ceviche, tuna tataki, soft shell crab taco, chicken taco, spicy salmon rocoto with chaufa quinoa and sweet potato fried. Almost everything we ate was very fresh and bursting with flavor. Felt like the chicken taco wasn’t up to the same standard as the other dishes we had. We never skip tres leches if we see it in a dessert menu. Unfortunately this was gone before I took a pic : We also tried the chocolate fondant. The desserts were pretty good as well! Service was pleasant and attentive. Excellent first impressions.

One of the most beautiful restaurants in Abu Dhabi, and the food is delicious, they're reasonable, the restaurant's more than beautiful. read more One of the most beautiful restaurants in Abu Dhabi, and the food is delicious, they're reasonable, the restaurant's more than beautiful.
