Highly Commended at the Time Out Restaurant Awards 2025 and featured in the Michelin Guide Abu Dhabi 2023, Cafe James brings French-bistro sensibility to Shams Boutik Mall on Al Reem Island. A strong V60 program sits alongside an ambitious food menu that includes oysters and wagyu preparations. The bright, sleek interiors and serious sourcing credentials put it in a tier above most cafe-restaurant hybrids in the city.
