Why go
Selections is a practical Abu Dhabi hotel-dining pick for mixed groups, family meals, low-friction plans around the InterContinental Al Bateen area.

About Selections
Selections is a dining venue in Abu Dhabi with weekday service periods for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Beyond those hours, information is limited: it does not specify cuisine type, chef, signature dish, award, price signal, service format, or detailed location beyond Abu Dhabi. This makes it suitable for basic planning rather than for deciding around a specific culinary style.
A safer pick when the brief is broad
Consider Selections when the priority is finding a direct Abu Dhabi option with weekday meal periods. For a more food-led decision, details are thinner because it does not specify cuisine type, chef, signature dish, award, or price range to anchor expectations. That does not rule it out; it simply means expectations should be set around the basics rather than menu or service details.
Where the decision sits in Abu Dhabi
If you want to compare it with other named options, cross-shop Byblos Sur Mer or consider Fishmarket depending on what best fits your plans. For a wider city scan, start with Pearl's Abu Dhabi restaurants guide.

Restaurant context
How Selections compares in Abu Dhabi
Selections is the safer convenience play: easy to fit around a hotel day, useful for mixed groups, less dependent on everyone wanting the same cuisine. Byblos Sur Mer is the clearer choice when the group wants Lebanese and a known $$ price tier, so it gives stronger value clarity before committing.
For atmosphere-led plans, The Bayshore Beach Club is the more leisure-oriented cross-shop, while Belgian Café is better when the brief is casual and social rather than hotel all-day dining. Cho Gao Marina Walk and Fishmarket are stronger alternatives when the group wants a more defined venue identity.
Use Selections when booking ease and group flexibility matter. Pick Byblos Sur Mer for a more specific cuisine-and-budget decision, Fishmarket for a more focused meal brief, The Bayshore Beach Club when the setting is the main reason for going.
