Located at the Mandara Equestrian Club in Abu Dhabi, this café is leading the way for farm to fork dining in the region.

The culinary team at Café Mandarina takes care of preserving as many nutrients as possible when preparing food and beverages for guests, by using hand-cut herbs mainly grown on their farm to enhance homemade organic stocks, sauces, dressings and fresh juices.

They also source superior ingredients such as pure Swiss honey, to substitute sugar in the preparation of homemade desserts. Away from processed foods, Café Mandarina is aware of where your food comes from – they conscientiously prepare it and serve it, from seed to your plate.
