Our Story

It started with a promise.

In 1998, a father and an uncle opened a small restaurant in Abu Dhabi.

They wanted one thing: a place where people feel at home.

Two generations later, we still keep that promise — now with the best view in the city.

    The first door opens.

  2. The years between

    Guests become regulars. Regulars become family.

  3. Today

    The 19th floor of Das Tower, the second generation, the same welcome.

“La Fontana has never been just a restaurant. It has always been a family.”
