Maté Abu Dhabi

I had an amazing experience at this Argentine restaurant in Saadiyat. The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and every dish reminded me of home. The chef is Argentine Belen and you can truly feel the passion, tradition, and love for Argentine cuisine in every bite, as an Uruguayan I can relate was 100% amazing I want to especially highlight the outstanding service provided by the waitress: Jennifer, who is also from Argentina. She was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive at all times. She made sure we were comfortable, took care of every detail, and always checked on us with a warm smile. Her service truly elevated the entire experience. This place made me feel like I was back home for a moment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Argentine food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back.

Went for the Saturday brunch (20% off from Best Bites; can also use Fazaa and also gives same discount) and everything is perfect! Shreya gave excellent customer service and there was little to no delay with our requests or with serving the food and the drinks! Steaks were top notch- go for the tenderloin more than the rib eye. Cocktails were unique and tasty- not too strong at all. Worth every dirham that we spent.

The portion sizes were quite small, although the overall vibe and atmosphere were enjoyable. For someone looking for a hearty brunch, it may not be the ideal choice, as the servings felt limited. While the experience was pleasant, even the desserts at the end after a heavy steak course were surprisingly small.

Absolutely perfect! From the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting, the food was incredibly delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Special compliments to Chef Sun — he’s amazing! The meat was grilled to absolute perfection, just the way we like it. He’s not only a talented chef but also very friendly, polite, and approachable. A true professional and a great personality — we were really impressed. The service was outstanding, the staff was attentive and warm. Honestly, everything was just perfect — from the ambiance to the last bite. A truly unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful dining experience at Maté this evening. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Lucero, our waitress. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. I highly recommend this place and definitely appreciate the incredible meat and Lucero’s excellent service!!

Had a great experience at Maté, food was great and we had wonderful service. The atmosphere is very pleasant.

This was the most incredible experience - I had zero expectations coming in and left feeling completely in awe! The table service was phenomenal; attending to our every need! The food was nothing short incredible! You arrive and leave feeling like a million dollars!

A fantastic spot for meat lovers: the selection of cuts is extensive, with thoughtful explanations of each piece and the type of beef you’re getting. That said, the restaurant is undeniably overpriced, hovering right at the threshold of being worth the splurge. The atmosphere is truly lovely. If you come in winter and sit outdoors, you can enjoy a gorgeous sea breeze and the soft, ambient glow of the Park Hyatt Hotel.
