Sponsored: Sontaya has reopened at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, unveiling a refreshed dining experience that celebrates the rich cuisine of Southeast Asia

Sontaya, long recognised for its stunning setting with floating pavilions overlooking the Arabian Gulf, blends authentic Asian flavours with one of the most picturesque backdrops in Abu Dhabi. The name Sontaya means “sunset” in Thai, a fitting reflection of the restaurant’s setting.

Guests can enjoy panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf while savouring dishes crafted to showcase the bold, vibrant flavours of Southeast Asia. The newly reimagined menu pays tribute to classic dishes while introducing innovative twists, presenting traditional techniques with modern culinary creativity.

Highlights from the new menu include signature plates such as wok-fried beef, ginger lotus sea bass, and the ever-popular nasi goreng. The green chicken curry, with its aromatic blend of herbs and spices, is another standout, celebrating authentic Southeast Asian comfort food. To complement the menu, Sontaya also offers a thoughtfully curated selection of handcrafted concoctions infused with fragrant Asian botanicals.

Beyond the cuisine, the ambience at Sontaya Abu Dhabi enhances the overall experience. By day, natural light fills the space, creating an airy and welcoming environment ideal for a laid-back lunch with family or friends. As evening falls, the setting transforms, with soft lighting and reflections off the water creating a romantic, intimate atmosphere perfect for sunset dinners or special celebrations.

Whether you’re after a relaxed lunch with a view or a spot for a special occasion, Sontaya at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort offers a dining experience that features rich flavours and a beautiful setting.
