Tafel has previously worked at seafood restaurants in Abu Dhabi for the past two decades.

Speaking of his appointment Tafel said: “With an array of top-quality ingredients so readily available, it's a chef's dream to be located in Abu Dhabi. From the fabulous fresh fish and produce in the local souks to the prime local meats sourced from all around the world, it’s a pleasure to serve at the forefront of worldwide hospitality, and my aim is treat every single diner as royalty.”
