In 2026, both the international and UAE dates coincide, and the capital has a great lineup of experiences ready. From interactive activities and hearty dinners to wellness gifts, we’ve found the best ways to show him some appreciation.

Hunter & Barrel
If you would rather take dad out for dinner instead of a heavy afternoon brunch, this Yas Bay steakhouse on the water, is an alternative. The menu features coal-grilled cuts like rib-eyes and tomahawks cooked over an open flame, which you can pair with standard steakhouse sides and barrel-aged drinks.
Where: Yas Bay Waterfront, Abu Dhabi
When: Sunday, 21 June (Open for lunch and dinner)

Bar Du Port
Head over to Bar du Port for a relaxing lunch and catch the views by the marina. The style is inspired by French-coastal cocktail bars - the kind you find in places like St-Tropez or Cannes, so it is more of a lounge setup rather than a massive hotel buffet.
The Father’s Day menu focuses on a sharing-style Côte de Boeuf with free-flowing drinks. While the venue is mostly known for its late-night bar atmosphere, kids can join in until 4:00 pm so you can bring the full family along for a Father's Day lunch.
Where: Bar du Port, Yas Marina
When: Sunday, 21 June 2026
Time: 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Price: AED 250 per person
