EL&N London, the café and lifestyle brand recognised for its design-focused interiors and all-day dining offer, is opening two new locations in Abu Dhabi. A Deli & Bakery format will open at Reem Mall, and a full café and lifestyle site will open at Marina Mall, marking the brand’s next step in its UAE growth.
EL&N has developed a clear following in the UAE, built around its specialty coffee, food offer, and interior design. The two new sites bring that offer to Abu Dhabi’s two well-established retail destinations, each in a format suited to its setting.
At Reem Mall, the EL&N Deli & Bakery offers a concise, accessible format. Guests can pick up freshly baked pastries, artisanal breads, specialty coffees, and deli-style dishes in a space that reflects EL&N’s design approach in a simpler, more casual way. It fits naturally as a day-to-day stop.
At Marina Mall, the full EL&N London café and lifestyle format arrives with the interiors and menu the brand is known for. Colourful accents, statement décor, and a vibrant layout set the scene for the all-day dining menu, which spans specialty coffees, desserts, and signature dishes. Marina Mall’s position as a key lifestyle destination in the capital makes it a fitting home for the brand’s flagship format.
EL&N launched in London in 2017 and now operates across Europe, Africa, and the GCC. Its growth has come from a consistent focus on interior design and a food and drink offer that stands apart from standard café formats.
The Abu Dhabi openings give the brand a presence across both ends of the capital and extend the choice available to those already familiar with EL&N elsewhere in the UAE.
