A once intimate supper club that began inside a private Abu Dhabi home has officially made the leap to a full restaurant. TeTTo Abu Dhabi has opened its doors in MiZa, Mina Zayed, becoming one of the capital's most talked-about new dining destinations in early 2026.

From private dinners to Abu Dhabi supper club phenomenon
What started as casual meals among friends grew, almost by accident, into a widely followed supper club concept. According to the founders, the idea took shape organically as word spread and more guests began attending the gatherings.
"There was a dinner, then that dinner became two dinners and then three dinners, and then it became a supper club," the founders have said of the concept's evolution.
A single dinner became several, then a full supper club running across multiple nights. With demand continuing to build, TeTTo has now taken the logical next step — opening a permanent restaurant space in Abu Dhabi.

A dining experience inspired by the supper club atmosphere
The new TeTTo Abu Dhabi restaurant retains the spirit of the original supper club format. Tables are placed close to the kitchen, allowing diners to watch the chefs at work while enjoying their meals.
This layout creates a relaxed, social atmosphere that reflects the founding concept while also delivering a modern restaurant setting — interactive, warm, and designed for conversation.

A produce-driven menu with global influences
The menu at TeTTo focuses on fresh ingredients and shareable dining, blending seafood, grilled dishes and comforting pasta options.
Small bites include guacamole, salsa roja and salsa verde. Starters feature dishes such as Rosso di Mazara gambero cruda, Hokkaido scallop ceviche, toro tartare, lobster salad and crispy prawns.
Lighter dishes include the TeTTo Pearl Salad and Puy Lentil Salad, while richer options range from burrata bruschetta to Bulgogi Wagyu lettuce wraps.
For mains, the Bincho grill and pasta section offers Sanchoku Wagyu ribeye, Hoba sea bass, jumbo prawns and San Marzano burrata rigatoni.
The founders say the menu reflects personal memories and family meals rather than short-term food trends — an ethos that has clearly resonated with Abu Dhabi diners since the supper club days.

A new chapter in Mina Zayed's evolving food scene
TeTTo's new home is located in MiZa Abu Dhabi, the revitalised waterfront district in Mina Zayed. Long known as one of Abu Dhabi's most historic trading hubs, Mina Zayed has undergone a significant transformation in recent years into a creative community space designed to attract entrepreneurs, artists and new dining concepts.
The area has already hosted several high-profile cultural events, including the capital's first Prada Mode. With TeTTo now open, the neighbourhood continues its rise as one of Abu Dhabi's most exciting destinations for food and culture.
