Discover all the restaurants taking part in Yas Bay Restaurant Week, with set menus, special prices and plenty of reasons to book
There’s a new reason to book a table at Yas Bay this week, and it’s a good one. Yas Bay Restaurant Week is running until May 10, pulling together more than 18 restaurants along the waterfront for a line-up of set menus, special pricing and limited-time dishes. It’s the first time the destination is doing this, and the idea is simple. Try somewhere new, spend a little less, and make a week of it.
Here’s a closer look at who’s taking part and what you’re actually getting for your money.
