Marcella is set to bring the soul of Iberian cooking to the pier at Yas Bay Waterfront, offering a modern bistro experience inspired by the flavours of Spain and Portugal. Led by acclaimed chef-owner Mario Loi, the concept celebrates bold, rustic dishes brought to life over a dramatic wood-fired Parrilla Grill. From fire-kissed seafood to in-house aged ribeye, every plate is guided by a passion for simplicity, authenticity and the irresistible character of open flame.
As Chef Mario’s second venture after the success of Mika at Yas Marina, praised for its Michelin-level excellence, Marcella reflects his dedication to craft and heartfelt hospitality. The restaurant blends contemporary elegance with warm, inviting energy, creating a space designed for long lunches, lively dinners and memorable occasions shared with friends and family.
Guests can look forward to a menu rooted in flavour and generosity, featuring tapas-style plates, wood-fire specialties, premium cuts and a curated Iberian wine list complemented by bold, modern cocktails. Every detail at Marcella is shaped to deliver a dining experience that feels vibrant, sincere and timeless.
