    Oro Verde opening details

    Oro Verde is a Nikkei restaurant and bar opening on the Yas Bay waterfront in Abu Dhabi. The venue specialises in Japanese and Peruvian flavours and is scheduled to welcome guests in the fourth quarter of 2026.

    The style blends Japanese cooking precision with acidic Peruvian ingredients. This theme extends to the drinks menu and interior design.

    The Solutions Leisure pedigree

    The venue is the latest project from Solutions Leisure. The group is behind high-energy venues including STK, Asia Asia, Lock Stock & Barrel, and Q43. They also manage Central.

    Oro Verde will be their fourth venue at Yas Bay. Their portfolio shows a preference for polished service and high-tempo atmospheres.

    The Nikkei dining experience

    The menu blends Japanese precision with Peruvian zest, often pairing high-grade raw fish with citrus-heavy marinades. The venue transitions from laid-back daytime meals to a lively evening setting. It is positioned for both relaxed lunches and date nights.

    The beverage list will match the Nikkei theme with a focus on mixology.
