Eclipse Terrace Lounge at Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi is back, now with a modern take on Mexican street food, fresh branding, and those skyline views from the third floor. Expect a refined but lively vibe, a new cocktail list, and weekly offers: daily Happy Hour, Ladies Night on Tuesdays, and Taco Thursday from November.
The concept: modern Mexican, Abu Dhabi skyline
The terrace has been reimagined as a vibrant spot that blends authentic flavours with contemporary plating, set against the city’s glittering backdrop.
- Third-floor terrace with panoramic city views
- Elevated street-food approach
- New cocktail list and entertainment
Eclipse aims for that sweet spot: relaxed evenings with serious food and drink, plus music and activations to keep it moving. The refreshed identity promises a dynamic destination on Al Maryah Island without the stiff formalities.
The chef leading the change
Executive Chef Christian Buenrostro brings fine-dining precision to casual Mexican favourites.
- Focus on quality ingredients and creativity
- Traditional dishes, modern techniques
- Programme of themed nights and curated cocktails
Buenrostro’s approach is simple: take familiar plates and tighten them up with technique. The result is food that respects tradition while pushing flavour and presentation forward for Abu Dhabi diners.
The menu: tacos, aguachile and classic desserts
Expect seafood-forward starters, strong taco options, and two dessert staples done with care.
- Aguachile de camarones with chilli-lime cure
- Tacos al pastor de pollo, carne asada, and bacalao capeado
- Flan de elote and tres leches cake
- Mezcal-based cocktails and margaritas
The dishes stick to street-food roots while using premium produce. Think Black Angus ribeye in your carne asada, crisp cod with smoked chilli mayo, and a proper aguachile to set the tone. Finish with corn flan or tres leches and a mezcal cocktail for balance.
Weekly offers and timings
Three simple hooks: daily Happy Hour, Ladies Night every Tuesday from November, and Taco Thursday launching in November.
- Happy Hour: daily, 4 pm to 7 pm; 30% off selected beverages.
- Ladies Night: Tuesdays, 7 pm to 10 pm, from 4 November; two complimentary drinks (sparkling grape or margarita) plus a live DJ.
- Taco Thursday: Thursdays, 7 pm to 10 pm, from 6 November; free-flow tacos from a live station with a live guitarist, AED 195 per person.
These timings make Eclipse a neat pre-dinner or early-weekend stop. Daily Happy Hour keeps it approachable; Tuesday and Thursday bring the energy.
Location and setting
Eclipse sits on the third floor of Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island with open-air views.
- Third-floor terrace, outdoor seating
- Abu Dhabi skyline views
- Part of the hotel’s wider dining line-up
The terrace is built for the cooler months, with that sundowner stretch from late afternoon into the evening. It also sits within a hotel that already hosts names like Cafe Milano and Butcher & Still, so you can make a night of it across venues.
